Mission Statement
To advance the enjoyment, awareness and participation of tennis to make a positive impact on communities and the lives of people of all ages, ability, ethnicity, and economic background in Southern California. Our strategic priorities include serving Underserved Communities; Youth Education and Tennis (NJTL); Scholarships for Promising Junior Players; Scholarships to attend tennis camps; People with Disabilities (cognitive and physical); Veterans, Seniors and Tournaments and Events that inspire individuals to take up the game, or realize their dreams of a college education or professional career.
About This Cause
We believe tennis should be an equal opportunity sport. We fund programs, innovative projects, leagues, and events that increase access, availability, and participation of tennis for people of all ages, abilities, ethnicity, and economic backgrounds. We also offer scholarships that support promising young junior players who are working hard to achieve their tennis aspirations. People who play tennis know it’s fun, social, and healthy. They also know the benefits of the sport extend far beyond the court. It teaches teamwork, discipline, resiliency, and problem solving. It builds self-confidence and self-esteem. And it forms groups that create a sense of belonging, lasting friendships, and fond memories. We want others to enjoy these benefits, which is why we’re driven to break down barriers and bring tennis to people and places it’s never, or rarely, been before. We want children from low-income neighborhoods to seniors, veterans to the disabled, to know that there are places to learn and play the game near their homes. We want to get more youth playing because we know the benefits of tennis can have a lifelong positive impact on their education, careers, and lives. And we want promising young underprivileged juniors to have the support they need because they deserve the opportunity to fulfill their dreams and compete with juniors from affluent families.
