Development

9/18/20: Today was the first day of the Olentangy Branch of the Dublin Tennis Outreach Program operating independently! We are so excited to have expanded past the reaches of Dublin and into another city to continue to spread our mission and purpose!

08/01/20 - 08/09/20: Thanks to our amazing partnership with the United States Tennis Association, we as an organization had the opportunity to supply our students who regularly attend our virtual clinics with a cost-free youth tennis racket and foam balls! Although all of our drills that we teach can be done without equipment, we hope that this new addition will add a new layer of interest to our students, building on that passion of tennis. Below are a few photos of families picking up the equipment, handled by executive director Weihong William Sun with precaution as we are amidst a global pandemic. (Stay safe everyone!)
