Physical Education Fitness Assistant

LoveSetMatch is a nonprofit organization rooted in the belief that tennis is more than a sport — it’s a pathway to opportunity, confidence, and community. Based in East Los Angeles and serving youth across L.A. County, we provide free and low-cost tennis programs to children and families in underserved neighborhoods where access to quality sports programming is limited.

We serve kids as young as 6 years old through teens and even multi-generational families, offering not just STEM based tennis instruction but also mentorship, life skills, and wellness education. Our programs emphasize inclusion, joy, and equity — ensuring that every child, regardless of background or income, has a safe place to play, grow, and belong.

At our core, we value community, creativity, and consistency. Whether we’re setting up short courts at a park with no tennis facilities or hosting STEM-based tennis workshops, everything we do is about youth development using tennis and fitness as a tool to inspire dreams and build futures — one serve at a time.
