AIA TenniS helps athletes compete freely, grow spiritually, and use their platform for God’s mission—on and off the court.
OUR MISSION
Since the 1970s, Athletes in Action Tennis has used the game of tennis to bring the life-changing message of Jesus to athletes worldwide. We serve college and professional players, helping them grow in faith, navigate performance pressures, and use their platform for God’s mission.
Our vision: Christ-followers on every team, in every sport, in every nation.
WHY WE SERVE
Play Free
Tennis can be full of pressure, identity struggles, and personal challenges. We help players compete freely, overcome fear, and enjoy the game with confidence.
Grow In Faith
Brokenness exists in every area of life—but the gospel of Jesus brings hope and transformation. We guide players to grow spiritually through mentoring, discipleship, and coaching.
Lead With Purpose/Victory Beyond The Court
Players have influence on their teams and communities. We equip them to use their platform for God’s mission, helping others experience hope and follow Jesus.
