You didn’t imagine it... things really have changed.

Those Sunday matches you used to look forward to?

Now you’re checking your phone at 6 a.m., bracing for another “strategy text” from your partner.

The group chat that once revolved around court times and coffee?

It’s become a minefield of subtle jabs about who played with whom.

And that knot in your stomach before certain matches?

That’s not nerves — it’s your body whispering this isn’t supposed to feel like this.

You fell in love with tennis for the rush of competition, the laughter, the community.

Not for the gossip, the tension, or the silent scorekeeping.

At Hit Happy, we get it — and we’re here to bring the fun back.

But instead of walking away, I built a brand that brought the fun back.

Hi, I’m Kasey... and five years ago, I almost walked away from the sport I loved.

Not because I couldn’t keep up.

Not because of my backhand.

But because of the energy.

The quiet whispers when I walked by.

The partners who disappeared after a tough loss.

The friends who suddenly saw me as a rival instead of a teammate.

Sound familiar?

I remember thinking, “Is this really what women’s tennis has become?”

That was my turning point.

I could either accept that drama and negativity were just “part of the game”…or create something better... a space where competition and kindness could coexist.

That’s me with Chris Evert... proof that you can be a champion and a class act.

So I started Hit Happy Tennis — for every woman who still believes tennis should lift you up, not wear you down.

Play hard.

Win more.

Play Drama-Free... and have the most fun doing it.
