Lob & Learn’s purpose is to afford key opportunities for children with a sustainable tennis and educational program.
We provide community-based youth development and free full scholarships for all students in our program. Lob & Learn’s program has year-round tennis lessons and structured practices after school, on weekends, and during the winter indoors. Our program also provides rackets, equipment, and student-athlete mentoring.
Lob & Learn is making a special impact each day and for the long term, teaching our youth to make good decisions both on and off the court.
Each child deserves an equal opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities. Lob & Learn’s purpose is to provide tennis as an avenue for children to develop confidence, character, and connections.
CONFIDENCE – Belief in the Ability to Succeed
CHARACTER – Integrity, Honesty, Courage
CONNECTIONS – Developing Meaningful Relationships
Lob & Learn was created by Marc Stulz. With over 25 years in the tennis industry, his expertise is in both tennis coaching and club management.
In 1998, Stulz started Elite Squad Tennis, specializing in Junior Tennis Development. In 2010 he built the Elite Squad Tennis Club in Overland Park, Kansas, a 100,000 sq ft indoor/outdoor tennis complex.
