about us

Meet Linda McGill, a passionate tennis enthusiast whose love for the sport has spanned an impressive 45+ years. From the moment she picked up a racket, Linda realized that tennis was more than just a game; it was a path to resilience, discipline, and community. With over two decades of experience as a coach and instructor, Linda has not only honed her skills on the court, but has also nurtured countless young athletes, instilling in them the values of hard work and perseverance.

Throughout her years of coaching, Linda observed a common challenge facing many talented student-athletes in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex: a lack of accessible scholarships for those from high-need communities. This gap ignited a fire within her, inspiring her to take action. In 2022, she founded Oak Cliff Health & Fitness, a non-profit designed to provide valuable resources, mentorship, and scholarship opportunities to aspiring young student-athletes. Linda’s vision extends beyond just tennis; she aims to empower student-athletes who play ball-related sports to reach their full potential.

Linda’s journey is a testament to her unwavering commitment to making a difference. She believes that every child, regardless of their background, deserves the chance to chase their dreams and experience the joy of participating in sports. Through Oak Cliff Health & Fitness, Linda is fostering a sense of community and belonging among student-athletes. With her infectious enthusiasm and dedication, she’s building a brighter future for young athletes.
