Every Good Idea Starts with a Good Story
During his high school years founder Liburd Germain-Sadere was very active in extracurricular programs. He played several different sports and was always intrigued to learn new ones. Every day after school he would go to Morningside Park to exercise and there was a group of kids taking tennis lessons; one day the instructor invited him to join. Germain-Sadere jumped at the chance to learn a new sport and so the coach handed him a racket, and thus his lifelong love affair with this amazing sport was launched.
Bringing the Idea to Life
Inspired by his former instructor’s positive actions, Germain-Sadere hoped to make a difference in children’s lives through Burd Tennis, Inc., founded in 2006. Burd Tennis Inc. was created to engage under-privileged youths in the Greater Miami area not only in tennis, but also academic achievement and health awareness.
Who We Are Today
Having started with only 8 kids, we are now proud to boast over 50 participants through 2007. Burd Tennis Inc. continues to strive to improve the attitudes and activities among youths in the areas of physical fitness, social skills, and literacy.
Burd Tennis Inc. is my way of giving back to the community and Burd Tennis Inc.'s goal is to improve the attitudes and activities of our youth and their families in the areas of physical fitness and physical education.
