Trey Ferrell

Ambassador Lead

Meet Trey - one of Declan's friends since second grade and an important part of the Love 15 journey from the beginning. Their friendship started on the tennis court and grew through years of competing side by side in soccer, flag football, and skiing. Through every season, Trey has brought the same qualities to every challenge he faces: discipline, determination, leadership, and a positive attitude that lifts everyone around him.

As the oldest sibling in his family, Trey learned early what it means to set an example. Whether on the court, in the classroom, or in his community, he believes leadership is about showing up, working hard, and encouraging others to do the same. Those values aligned naturally with the mission behind Love 15.

When Declan first shared his vision of a foundation focused on expanding access to tennis for kids, Trey was all in. He's been part of brainstorming community partnerships, fundraising ideas, future events, and outreach efforts. In fact, one of the team's earliest ideas - a youth tennis tournament to help raise money in support of the foundation's mission - came directly from their shared vision and collaboration.

Although Trey stays busy competing in multiple sports, with soccer and lacrosse among his favorites, tennis has always held a special place in his life. For him, the sport is about much more than competition. Tennis has helped build his mental toughness, independence, and confidence, and it's created some of his favorite memories with family and friends. Every Thanksgiving, his family gathers on the court for an annual tradition filled with competition, laughter, and connection - a reminder that tennis truly is a sport that brings generations together for many years to come.

In his own words: "Although tennis isn't my primary sport, I've been around the game for as long as I can remember because of my mother's love for it. That's what makes Love 15 so special - it's a cause I'm personally passionate about, and one my entire family truly believes in."

Trey believes every child should have the chance to experience the physical, mental, and social benefits that tennis and other sports have brought into his life. Through Love 15, he hopes to inspire and empower others to discover those same benefits for themselves.
