Our Mission is to empower individuals through fitness education.
Why We Care
The benefits of a healthy lifestyle through fitness enhance our lives and we hope to share those long term advantages with those who need it most. Many of the children we teach have never played tennis, swung a golf club, or stretched in a yoga position! These sports often have a stigma of being inaccessible unless one is wealthy. At LoveSetMatch, we want to disrupt the idea that a healthy and fit lifestyle is only for those who can afford it. By offering a positive experience of a sports and fitness education, we hope to set children on a lifelong path of success.

Who We Are
LoveSetMatch is a 501 (c) (3) Charitable Organization. We started in 2010 as a successful private tennis academy and transformed into a nonprofit community-based organization in 2019, thanks to funding and support from the US Tennis Association (USTA) and the Southern California Tennis Association (SCTA). We are an official USTA Foundation National Junior Tennis & Learning Partner (NJTL) and a “Core and Community Partner” with LA County Parks and Recreation.
What We Do
Our mission is to train unsupported kids and adults into healthy individuals through affordable tennis and fitness education. We offer game-based tennis, golf, yoga and fitness education for people, especially kids and youth. Our programs include PE Classes for Schools, After School Programs, morning and evening lessons every week. We offer a summer program, and programming for LA County Parks and Recreation initiatives such as Parks After Dark and Girls Empowerment. We build and empower local communities to foster a sense of belonging, trust, and cooperation.

Allocation of Profits
Your generous donations are used for:
- Free and affordable tennis lessons: For those who can afford to play, we offer reasonably priced tennis lessons. 50% of our profits are dedicated to ensuring that our programs remain financially accessible to a wide range of individuals. Profits from each lesson are donated to create free or donation-based tennis classes. We aim to provide free tennis classes to people of all ages, with a special focus on children and young adults. These lessons not only introduce them to the sport of champions but also promote a healthy and active lifestyle and give us an opportunity to mentor and build relationships within our community.
- Community engagement: Donations and services are reinvested in communities in need of support. We host a variety of community events and gatherings. Our initiatives also bring together tennis and fitness enthusiasts, foster social connections, and create a space to share their passion for a healthy lifestyle. Our hope is that these communities will create healthy life long friendships which help promote positive mental health and add to quality of life.
- Facility upkeep: Working with the USTA, our grant funds are used to maintain and improve our local tennis facilities.
- Support for athletes: We offer scholarships to promising young talents who may not have the means to pursue both physical and mental advanced tennis training. We work with sponsors and financial partners to provide opportunities for aspiring athletes to advance their professional tennis careers.
