About Lobs & Lessons

Mission: Promote education and life skills for the elementary school age youth of Richmond through the combination of mentoring, tutoring and teaching tennis.

Lobs & Lessons began with an idea. This idea was to reach out to disadvantaged youth in the Richmond area with life skill development and the introduction to the sport of tennis. Lobs & Lessons officially began on Sept. 27, 2004 with a small pilot program at the William Byrd Community House and the children in their after school program. As the months passed, Lobs & Lesson began collaborating with more community centers and to date has worked with more than 250 children. Currently, Lobs & Lessons works with the North Richmond YMCA, Sacred Heart Center and the William Byrd Community House.
