How did NJTP get started? Some 50 years ago, Phil, Barbara, and Ali (among others) registered in a group tennis class at a local park. They went on to play high school and college tennis (receiving scholarships).
20 years went by, and these friends got together and wanted to give back to the community. They started providing free lessons to neighborhood kids, and as interest grew they expanded the program, providing low-cost lessons to make it affordable for families.
NJTP was established in 1993 and is now celebrating its 30th year of service.
NJTP is a non-profit organization that has served thousands of participants in the San Fernando Valley and surrounding areas.
NJTP’s mission is “to improve our community through tennis”, as a positive alternative to gangs, drugs, and obesity.
NJTP’s motto is “from the courts to college”, offering an avenue for youth to succeed in life.
