Junior Program

Junior Program is an after school and summer camp youth development program that operates six days a week year round for children and teens age 5-18. In all aspects of the Junior Program, young people receive guidance not just on their tennis stroke, but also on many of the difficult issues and choices confronting them. It contains strong literacy, academic support, and youth mentoring components. Using the game of tennis as the vehicle for teaching critical life skills, Sportsmen’s Tennis Club has taught two generations of low-income youth from diverse backgrounds and cultures the value of hard work and discipline, appropriate goal-setting, cooperation, racial respect, and winning and losing gracefully.

The Academy

In addition to the Junior Program, the Sportsmen’s High Performance program has successfully dispelled the myth that tennis is an elitist sport; open only to a privileged few. STC cultivates African American and Latino tennis players in a field that traditionally has only had a select few. In fact, Sportsmen’s has been almost single-handedly responsible for the growing number of African Americans competing on the regional tennis circuit.
