STEF 2021/2022 After-School Program Information
We are currently planning for the summer and have some availability coming up for spring tennis as current restrictions evolve. Registering now places you on waitlist and a staff member will contact you when space is available.
Students enrolled participate not only in tennis, but in educational programming ,as well. We are currently working on life skills such as active listening, staying positive, and being kind to yourself. We have a community Zoom once a week where we play games, read books, and socialize.
Educational programming changes throughout the year and we collaborate with schools and each student’s teachers to find the best ways to empower student-athletes to succeed. All programming is currently after school (specific days vary depending on group) either outdoors at Magnuson Park or at Tennis Center at Sand Point in Magnuson Park.
