The MTA Youth Sports Foundation empowers children of all backgrounds through accessible, high-quality sports programs that build confidence, character, and community.


We provide opportunities in tennis, pickleball, and other sports to ensure every child—regardless of financial, social, or personal barriers—can experience the joy of movement, mentorship, and personal growth.

Our mission is to inspire lifelong healthy habits, develop future leaders, and strengthen our community by making sports education affordable, inclusive, and transformative for all youth.

Our vision is to create a world where every child—regardless of circumstance—has the opportunity, support, and encouragement to grow through sport and to build a strong foundation for a healthy, successful future.
