New Area Community Tennis Association Forming

Sweetwater Tennis Center is becoming a hub for a new Community Tennis Association (CTA). If you have some time to help grow the wonderful game of tennis in OUR area, please read the attached memo. Emily Roberts has agreed to spearhead this effort, but we need as many as possible to make it a success. This is a chance to provide a real difference in our kids long term growth and development, both as a tennis player and in life. For more information on the Sweetwater Tennis Association, contact Charlie McCoy at (770) 819-3221.

Sweetwater Tennis Center Joins NJTL

Sweetwater Tennis Center has also registered as a NJTL- National Junior Tennis League member. The USTA/National Junior Tennis League (NJTL) is a nation-wide network 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:
1. reaching out to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to play the sport
2. instilling in youngsters the values of leadership and academic excellence
3. giving all kids (regardless of income, race, gender) the opportunity to fully develop their tennis skills so they can derive a life time of enjoyment from the sport. The NJTL is a great way for kids to get exercise, make friends, and have fun in a team-oriented and safe environment.  NJTLs offer a variety of on and off-court programming, emphasizing educational and life-skill components to enhance overall development.  Many of the costs associated with running a program are decentralized by in-kind and monetary support from the USTA, allowing for local chapters/programs to provide high-quality programming for their constituents.
