This has been such a great Program! It has opened many doors for Lizzy. She's participated in Special Olympics and has become a Global Messenger for Special Olympics. She's also had the ability to meet new people in the class as well as develop friendships with each Coach.

The Challenger Tennis program has been a tremendously positive influence in my son Josh's life. Josh started in Coach Henry's Challenger program when he was about 10 years old, back in 1990. He began as a little boy who struggled to follow directions, and whose coordination made bouncing the ball with one hand and hitting it with a racket in the other an almost impossible feat! Coach Henry and each Biola student who has worked with Josh through the years have been such an encouragement to him! Going to tennis is one of THE highlights of his week! His self-esteem has blossomed as he has learned the skills of the game! His confidence has soared as he has been able to volley the ball back and forth! The practice on the Tennis Mate has allowed him to "whip" his brother's friends, much to his delight! He has learned teamwork and "hussle" when he plays doubles! Clearly, the Biola students who minister to the community through the Challenger program desire to share not only their love for the game, but their passion for Christ!

THANK YOU Coach Henry and all of the Biola students who invest in the lives of others and make a unique impact in the community through Tennis!

This Prgoram has helped Timmy in so many ways! He has been able to develop his hand-eye coordination skills as well as getting physical activity. Timmy's self-esteem and confidence has grown since he started in the Program five years ago. He loves to play tennis with other people now. Not only has the Program helped develop Timmy's athletic abilities, it has also provided him with social interaction with other athletes. The Program has been great for Timmy and he loves to play very much!
