National Junior Tennis and Learning Chapters

in Kentucky

The USTA National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) network is a nation-wide group of community tennis organizations seeking to develop the character of young people through tennis and education.

Founded in 1969 by Arthur Ashe, Charlie Pasarell, and Sheridan Snyder, this growing network of tennis providers share similar values, ideals, and goals by:

• reaching out to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to play tennis
• instilling in youngsters the values of leadership and academic excellence
• giving all kids (regardless of income, race, gender) the opportunity to develop their tennis skills so they can derive a life time of enjoyment from the sport
