Started by local high school tennis players, Aces for All collects gently used rackets, balls, and gear — and donates them free to kids from underserved communities.
Aces for All is a Nebraska-based nonprofit organization started by local high school tennis players. We collect gently used tennis rackets, balls, and other gear, and donate them to kids from underserved communities who do not have access to tennis equipment.
Any and all donations are greatly appreciated, and will give more kids in Nebraska the chance to play and grow through the sport we all love!
Our vision is cemented in the belief that sports — especially tennis — have the power to inspire positive change, foster discipline, and build confidence in young individuals. For most families, however, the cost of equipment and training puts the sport out of reach. That's where we come in.
Drop boxes at partner tennis centers make donating gently used equipment simple and convenient.
We inspect, clean, and refurbish every item so it's truly ready to play when it reaches a child.
Equipment goes directly to kids in underserved Nebraska communities — completely free of charge.
Our mission is to bridge the gap by collecting and recycling gently used tennis equipment from individuals, organizations, and sports clubs — racquets, tennis balls, shoes, apparel, and other essential gear — that can be repurposed to benefit children from disadvantaged communities.
Through this initiative, we want to do more than provide equipment. We want to bring opportunities where children can be further empowered through the sport, developing new skills, lasting friendships, and even dreaming about competing on larger stages.
Every child has a right to experience the transformative power of tennis — whether learning their first serve or gaining the confidence to participate in tournaments.
Your gently used donation will go directly toward tearing down economic barriers and opening doors to youngsters who might never otherwise get the chance to play.
"Every child has a right to experience the transformative power of tennis."
We believe sports build more than athletic skill — they build character, discipline, confidence, and community. Aces for All exists to make sure no child is left on the sidelines because of cost.
Aces for All goes beyond supporting young tennis players by finding creative ways to repurpose donated equipment for other community needs.
Old tennis balls that are no longer suitable for the court are donated to animal shelters, where they provide enrichment and playtime for dogs. This ensures that every donation — even those no longer usable for tennis — finds meaningful use and serves a wide array of communities.
By maximizing usefulness, we minimize waste, support sustainability, and create an inclusive way of effecting positive change. Each piece of equipment is given a new home where it can inspire physical activity, enable community programs, or simply delight its recipient.
Rackets, shoes, bags, and apparel in good condition go directly to kids who need them most.
Balls no longer suited for court play are donated to local animal shelters for dog enrichment and playtime.
We find a meaningful use for every single donation — nothing goes to the landfill if we can help it.
