Advantage Kids was beaming with pride as we saw one of our own attend the 3rd Annual Preseason High School Jamboree held at the Health Club of Concord earlier this month.
Sullivan Mousseau can be seen summer after summer attending the Advantage Kids tennis program run in partnership with Laconia Parks and Recreation. He is not the only family member to attend. Sullivan brings along his 5 siblings Francesca, Cooper, Holden, Madeline and Finnian. They definitely follow the adage of “A family that plays together, stays together.”
Sullivan, accompanied by a friend this time, fearlessly signed up for the high school jamboree. This is amazing because Laconia High School doesn’t have a tennis program. Sullivan and Joey Bailey signed up simply because they LOVE tennis. Not because they needed to train to be the best. Not because their coaches encouraged them. They saw the fliers, made the call, played and had fun.
Joey expressed “The tennis jamboree was Sully's idea and I was a little nervous at first, but it ended up being a great time. I personally haven't ever played a real game before but everyone there was nice and the way the tournament was set up meant we were able to have a good time anyway. I would recommend this to pretty much any level of high school player that wants to meet some other players from the area, and will hopefully be doing it again next year.”
Advantage Kids hopes to spread the love of tennis to kids and their families throughout NH. Thank you Mousseau family and friends for showing us what the love of tennis is all about!
The sport of tennis has been rated highest for youth to do better academically, be less likely to utilize substances and more likely to attend college. Science has proven the profound effect that mindfulness practices have on children’s abilities to connect with self and others, focus on tasks and to self-regulate emotions.

In the heart of every competition, it's the spirit, dedication, and journey of the participants that truly define success. This was vividly showcased at the recent Gilford Hill's MB Tractor/PSG Singles and Doubles Open, where Advantage Kids' very own Simon Kuczkowski and Logan Mack took to the courts not just to play, but to embody the values and resilience fostered by AK. Let's celebrate the enduring spirit and positive change Simon, Logan, and AK embody!
