For more than a decade, Tennis Memphis has impacted the lives of Memphis’ youth through its NJTL Tennis Summer Camps, and with year-round youth development programming at municipal tennis centers and schools in the Memphis area. NJTL was envisioned and founded by tennis icon Arthur Ashe as a way to make tennis available to underserved youth.
Today, thousands of Memphis-area children who otherwise would never have set foot on a tennis court have benefitted from that vision. In addition to learning tennis, children are coached in academic excellence, life skills and leadership, and many of them ultimately attend college on tennis scholarships. Most importantly, they learn what it means to be good citizens.
The Grizzlies Ticket Sales department will have a table available on-site for any event guests wishing to purchase tickets for the upcoming season at FedExForum.
