NYJTL is a youth tennis nonprofit organization offering comprehensive school and community based programs to youth 5-18 years of age throughout New York City. We are among 500 chapters of a national organization started by Arthur Ashe to give inner-city youth a chance to learn the game of tennis and provide them with experiences they normally would not get otherwise. NYJTL is the largest of the chapters, and we offer a safe and nurturing environment where youth can participate in different sporting activities, especially tennis, and thrive in an academically supportive environment to help them reach their maximum potential. NYJTL operates its programs throughout New York City as well as at the Cary Leeds Center for Tennis & Learning.
