Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Education, Sports, Sports Associations & Training Facilities, Youth Development Programs
Mission: Legacy youth tennis and education's mission is to prepare young people, especially those from under-resourced families and communities, for success as individuals and as active, responsible citizens through innovative tennis, education, life skills and leadership development programming.
Programs: Legacy youth tennis and education now provides quality tennis, education, life skills, fitness and leadership development to over 4,500 young people in more than 40 public, charter and parochial elementary and middle schools and recreation centers in neighborhood sites throughout greater philadelphia, camden, the city of chester and at our center in east falls. We provide qualified instructors, sports equipment, and positive opportunities to more children and youth, most of whom participate at little or no cost through our indoor after-school and community programs and the national junior tennis and learning's (njtl) outdoor summer program. Using tennis as the primary motivator, the programs teach positive, rewarding lessons, build confidence, and provide a framework of personal discipline.
