The National Junior Tennis League is Austin's most comprehensive grass roots program for the development of young tennis players age 6-18. This program introduces youth to the lifetime sport of tennis, using the concepts of teamwork, fun, sportsmanship and low key competition. The students are given the opportunity to learn the fundamentals: forehand, backhand, serve, volley and rules of the game. Our main goal is for the students to have an enjoyable experience with the sport of tennis perking their interest enough to leap-frog into one of the City of Austin’s Public Tennis Centers more advanced programs

USA Tennis NJTL is a community-driven program that keeps
youngsters off the streets and out of trouble by providing them
with a safe haven, adult role models and an opportunity to develop
positive social skills and learning disciplines. Many USA Tennis NJTL
participants have gone on to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers,
accountants, tennis teaching professionals, coaches, and business executives.
A few have even become professional tennis players.
Participants are provided instruction, matches and racquets when needed.
