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. Click below for
a Junior Program application. |

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.
