ABOUT ACES N BAGELS

I fell in love with tennis in high school and over the years, tennis has taught me resilience, patience, and the power of a growth mindset. Stepping onto the court has always been my way of “touching grass” — where I can recharge, feel energized, and find mental clarity amidst life’s busyness.

Seeing a need for more tennis opportunities in the High Desert, I felt inspired to take action. That’s how ACES N BAGELS was born — with the mission to grow the sport in our community and create a space where every player feels welcomed, supported, and empowered on the court.
