(NC) North Charlotte

Welcome to ACEing Autism in North Charlotte, NC! We're excited to launch our third session in March 2025 at Lexington Clubhouse and hope you will join us as a volunteer for our third 5-week session. 

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

Session Details: 

Required on-court volunteer training: March 1st (9:15 am) 

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

• March 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th

*Volunteers arrive at 9:45 am

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 19. Our clinics run for one hour, with sessions running for five 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!
