Advocate a pathway for tennis progression that makes the sport accessible for all area youth, regardless of income or athletic capability.

Encourage character development through tennis, utilizing tennis to teach life skills like honesty, respect, teamwork, fairness, responsibility.

Develop innovative programs using tennis to effect positive behavioral changes in at-risk youth.

A part of our mission is to educate parents about the value of youth sports and healthy competition.
