The eldest of seven children in a Mexican-American family, Gonzales was a self-taught player who grew up playing at Exposition Park in Los Angeles, a few miles from the Compton, California public park courts where Venus Williams and Serena Williams learned tennis decades later.
The daughter of immigrants from El Salvador, Casals picked up tennis playing on San Francisco's public park courts.
Casals and Gonzales' family, including his sons and former doubles partner, Richard Gonzales, Jr. and Dan Gonzales, were on hand along with USTA volunteers and coaches teaching at the foundation's second kids' clinic at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

The Foundation concluded its clinic tour at Riverdale High School, a local Modesto, CA high school to teach three schools that participate in NorCal's HITS program. HITS is an acronym for Honesty, Inspiration, Tennis and Sportsmanship. About 80 junior players participated in the clinic.
The Foundation hopes to make its Hispanic Month tour an annual event.
