Students from NYJTL’s free Community Tennis Program and Advanced Tennis Program enjoyed a variety of engaging lessons in tennis fundamentals, interactive and lively literacy and mathematics activities, and healthy living and nutrition workshops during the three-hour event at the new Cary Leeds Center for Tennis & Learning in the South Bronx.

The event is the culmination of Chase’s Return the Serve program, in which JPMorgan Chase provided the USTA Foundation with $110,000, distributed to National Junior Tennis & Learning Network chapters, including NYJTL. The contributions support programs that combine education and tennis by engaging kids in an academic curriculum.

NYJTL is grateful to Chase and the USTA Foundation for their continued support of our community efforts!
