Dana Joseph and Chris Cabanban of First Serve Management and their team of instructors provide tennis services at the Sachs Recreation Center indoor courts and at the Deerfield Park District’s outdoor courts. The mission of First Serve Management is to nurture the love of the game of tennis. First Serve Management offers family-friendly programming that encourages students to play the sport for a lifetime and provides a path to pursue the level they wish to attain. From beginning recreational players looking for fitness and fun to tournament competitors, instructors understand that people of all ages play tennis for different reasons. They believe tennis brings people together –families, friends and new acquaintances– who then become friends through tennis. The quality and experience of their teaching distinguishes First Serve Management from their peers. Their entire staff is certified by either the USPTA or the USPTR and is constant from the start of a lesson session to the end. NOTE: All Winter Classes at SRC
