(CA) Danville: San Ramon High School

Welcome to ACEing Autism in Danville, CA at San Ramon Valley High School! We're excited to launch our first session in February 2024 with the help of the amazing Program Directors at Danville Monte Vista High School and hope you will join us as a volunteer for our first 4-week session. 

We would love to have you join our volunteer team, so please feel free to reach out to us with any questions. 

We will post a volunteer opportunity for our upcoming session in the next few weeks.

Session Details: 

Required on-court volunteer training: Sunday, February 25th (9:00 am) followed by the first clinic (10:00 - 11:00 am).

Clinics will run from 10:00 - 11:00 am on the following Sundays: 

• February 25
• March 3, 10, 17

Trained Program Directors and volunteers lead participants through our curriculum. At the very heart, tennis is a social game that furnishes a natural opportunity to develop and reinforce skills that many children on the spectrum find a struggle: turn-taking, focus and attending, motor planning, fine and gross motor skills, and more. Our Program Directors meet athletes where they are at and progress through our curriculum at their own pace.

We offer weekly tennis clinics for children with autism between the ages of 5 and 18. Our clinics run for one hour, with sessions running for six to eight weeks at a time. Volunteers are paired up with a participant, hopefully for the duration of the session. The children in our program do not need prior tennis knowledge as our curriculum & volunteers support each child’s individual abilities and needs!
