Programs

The genesis of Youth Tennis Advantage (YTA) is directly linked to tennis great Arthur Ashe's vison of using tennis as a vehicle to profoundly enrich the lives of children with meager socioeconomic resources and opportunities. Although Ashe has passed on, his legacy and vision is vibrantly evident through YTA's comprehensive after school programs comprised of three main areas of focus: Tennis, Academic Enrichment and Life Skills.  These focus areas utilize a variety of complementary components that make for a rich and rewarding after school program designed to help children and teens excel, thrive, and feel a sense of self worth and pride.  Every YTA site is unique and each offers a different menu of programs based on the needs of the community, the families that are served and the resources that are currently available.
