Who We Are

Welcome to ACEing Autism in South Las Vegas, NV! We're so excited to serve our community and can't wait to start the program! This is the second time that Southern Highlands Tennis has participated in an ACEing Autism Program. We are ready to start again with amazing coaches that are thrilled to be serving the community through tennis.

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

What We Do

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!
