National Tennis Month Fun and May GameSetMatch Highlights

MAY 2022

HAPPY NATIONAL TENNIS MONTH!

May is National Tennis Month, and AYTEF celebrated with cupcakes and a water squirter challenge during our Friday tennis offering. Thanks to USTA Southern and USTA Georgia for sponsoring this event - our GameSetMatch youth had a blast!

WHAT IS GameSetMatch?

Take a moment to view the highlights of May GameSetMatch, AYTEF's year-round tennis and academic enrichment programming. Our AYTEF youth, staff, interns, and volunteers are working hard both on and off the court. We can't wait for the start of our summer programs!

SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION

NO AYTEF BLOCK PARTY IN MAY

Due to the holiday weekend and end of school year, AYTEF will not host a Block Party in May. However, we look forward to seeing everyone at next month’s Block Party on Friday, June 24. Participant registration for this event will open on our website on June 1.

Many thanks to the Wesleyan School Varsity Tennis Teams and the Kennesaw State University tennis players for volunteering at our April Block Party event. We truly appreciate our volunteers who helped both on-court and off-court throughout the event. With over 70 youth in attendance, April’s Block Party was our most successful community engagement event to date. We look forward to seeing everyone in June!

AYTEF would like to thank the ALTA Foundation for supporting our community outreach clinics at Briarlake Church. The goal of this 6-week program was provide an introduction to the sport of tennis to the under-resourced residents of the LaVista Crossing Apartments directly adjacent to the church. The youth in this apartment complex are zoned to Henderson Middle School, a Title I school where 75% of the school population receives free/reduced/directly certified lunch and 75% are minority students. AYTEF truly appreciates our partnership with ALTA Foundation!

The mission of the Atlanta Youth Tennis & Education Foundation is to ENRICH the lives of under-resourced youth through tennis and education. We SERVE through sport so that our youth participants can ACHIEVE without limit on the court, in the classroom, and in life.
