Tuesday, October 14, 2003 The First Coast Tennis Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing to everyone in the First Coast area the opportunity to participate in the lifetime sport of tennis, regardless of physical or economic abilities. Three of FCTF?s most impactful programs are the Wheelchair Tennis Program ? which provides playing opportunities and free instruction to established and prospective wheelchair players, the Residential Tennis Program ? which serves players in the community who cannot afford private club membership, and the Junior Financial Assistance Program ? which supports the efforts of deserving local young players who lack the funds to participate in local, state, and National Tournaments.
