Kristoria “Krissy” Haynes was born on October 12, 2010. She received her first racquet at age 2. At age 3, she moved with her father, Christopher Haynes (mother Karoadus Stallings deceased), to Delray Beach, Florida.

She became more interested in tennis by watching Coco Gauff, the Williams sisters and others on television with her grandmother, Dorothy Haynes. Krissy began practicing more when she received a new racquet at age 8. She also took part in some Delray Beach Youth Tennis Foundation programs. Krissy got the “tennis bug” and started playing in tournaments. Currently, at age 11, she has won 1st and 2nd place in at least six USTA tournaments. Krissy played in the Little Mo Regional Tournament, run by the Maureen Connolly Brinker Foundation, in New York and is now invited to the Little Mo Nationals on September 22nd in Austin, TX and the Little Mo International in December.

Krissy is really motivated in school and tennis. Her dream is to play at the college level and beyond!

She needs immediate assistance with funds to go to Texas and for future tennis camps and coaching. Also, racquets and restringing, shoes, hats, clothing, tennis balls, personal training, tennis coaching lessons and practices, tournament fees, travel expenses, and more……
