Cordova is a returning grantee that received their first grant from JTFS in 2020. They continue to offer free clinics to first-time players. In addition JTFS helped sponsor a 2-week academy in the Cordova District for more advanced players in the summer of 2024.

Since 2022 the UCD Men’s and Women’s Tennis teams have joined up with JTFS to teach and sponsor a tennis clinic for beginners at a Woodland Court. These clinics are free to the participants and taught by the UCD players and their coaches. This is a great opportunity for young players to meet the university players and learn some of their skills.

AND COUNTING
Our mission is to create opportunities for underserved young players to experience the joys of playing tennis.
We fund group tennis lessons, support participation in community junior tournaments, and aid high school
tennis programs with grants to support their teams.
​
Since 2021 Junior Tennis Fund has donated $1000 each to 14 local high schools. That means they have the best equipment to play the best tennis in their league matches. It also means they know their community is behind them to be successful in their sport! JTFS also collects slightly used rackets from our friends in the tennis world, have them refurbished and give them to players who do not have their own racket.
