The tennis component comes from the MTEF Tennis & Fitness Curriculum and a partnership with Marquette University. Marquette University provides 16 complimentary hours of court time each week at the Helfaer Tennis and Recreation Center, which allows First Serve students to practice year-round on real tennis courts, something that is not possible for other after school sites.

This year’s event, will be held on
Friday, September 24th at
Milwaukee County Zoo’s Peck Pavilion.
