How it works

If you are an adult (or a parent of a junior) recovering from an injury, trauma, or illness contact us for an evaluation to see if you qualify according to your doctor's recommendations and current physical condition.

If the initial interview qualifications are met, we will meet for an on court evaluation/lesson and possible plans for moving forward.  There is no charge for any segment of this program.

The Tennis Alone Foundation project is a continuation of the philanthropic works of Jacky and Jerry Glass.

For over 25 years Jacky and Jerry provided their private tennis court so that an inordinate amount of good could be done there.

This included recovery for stroke and cancer survivors, partnerships with philanthropic causes, tennis clinics throughout So. California, and providing college tennis scholarships for Palos Verdes juniors.

"Lee was a true and loyal friend to mom and dad for over 25 years. Wonderful philanthropic tennis projects were given on our tennis court and we couldn't be happier that it's being carried forward with the Tennis Alone Foundation project."

Our participation in the annual Bruin Woods tennis clinics as head clinicians in Lake arrowhead was made possible by the generosity of Jacky and Jerry Glass.  Also for 25 years, Lee partnered with Wilson as a sponsor of the Trinity Care Hospice "Sunday by the Sea" fundraiser that was held annually at Jacky and Jerry's court.
