Our great friend and veteran, Steve Kappes in San Diego. Steve runs one of the biggest veterans tennis programs in the country!!

If you are a coach, a veteran, or someone who loves the game of tennis and wants to make a real impact, Steve’s journey shows what becomes possible when you plug into a professional community, invest in tennis certification, and say yes to leadership.
