Last year saw yet another “net” increase in people playing tennis.
, this network “features more than 250 nonprofit youth development organizations that offer free or low-cost tennis and education programming to over 160,000 under-resourced youth each year.
And one of these new NJTL chapters added was the first one to be completely youth-led. William Sun, now a college student at Johns Hopkins University, founded the Dublin Tennis Outreach Program as a high school student and has since passed the reins on to Isaac Frank, currently a senior in High School. In the following Dublin TOP video, Sun described the program:
After seeing how another high school didn’t have the resources for current and would-be tennis players, Sun “wanted to teach tennis to kids and give back,” in his words. “We got an initial donation of equipment, tennis rackets and red foam balls. There were 10 or so consistent students. I really got to know a lot of the kids.” That eventually led him to forming Dublin TOP as a 501 organization, all as a high school student.
Speaking of next steps, another initiative of the USTA Foundation is about connecting kids closer to the world of higher education. During 2021 via the USTA’s Collegiate Community Hub programs, the USTA Foundation partnered various NJTL chapters with 12 different universities such as Michigan State University, University of Arizona, University of South Carolina, University of Alabama, and St. Thomas University.
Could this year, 2022, be a 2020-too for tennis in a good way? In other words, will the tennis community be able to continue the momentum generated during the first year of the pandemic? Faber sees continued growth, expecting to “bring on another 30 locations” as NJTL chapters. “The USTA Foundation Board has really stepped up, opening doors to talk to other people,” he added. “Chris Evert, the board chair, has played a huge role.
