At the Key Biscayne Tennis Association (KBTA), we believe tennis isn’t just a sport — it’s a way to connect, grow, and build confidence. That’s why, for the past few years, KBTA has partnered with Mater Academy East Charter School to bring the joy of tennis to dozens of children across Miami, offering them a valuable opportunity to learn, play, and thrive.

The program began as an initiative by our coach Greg Levy, a former ATP player, who started teaching after-school lessons that quickly became a model for inclusion and enthusiasm. Today, thanks to the leadership of KBTA President Jon Garito and the dedication of our team, more than twenty children visit our courts each week, learning discipline, teamwork, and respect through the game of tennis.

Parents have shared incredible stories about how this program has boosted their children’s self-esteem and emotional well-being. “It’s more than a sport; it’s a life-changing experience,” said Melissa Brazil, mother of one of the students.

This community effort was recently featured in Islander News, which highlighted the positive social impact of the partnership and the mission of KBTA to make tennis accessible for everyone.
