Our mission is to grow tennis participation in Henry County, GA by introducing youth to the sport Above the Net was founded when three avid recreational tennis players in Henry County, GA felt that there was a need to expand participation in the sport particularly by the youth in the area. Henry County lacked a tennis program in most middle schools and as a result students would begin participating in other sports at that grade level. In turn, high school tennis programs began to falter. With an underutilized resource of tennis courts at Richard Craig Park, the founders decided to create a non-profit all about growing youth participation in tennis in the area and leveraging that sport for college scholarships, strengthening communities, and building life skills.
