Atlanta Community Tennis Foundation

Since 2003, the Atlanta Youth Tennis & Education Foundation (AYTEF) has been committed to enriching the lives of underserved youth through tennis and education. We are a nonprofit organization using the power of sport and learning to create opportunity, build confidence, and strengthen communities. AYTEF began with a simple mission: to provide free, high-quality tennis and academic support to youth in some of our most underserved neighborhoods. For many years, we operated out of Washington Park Tennis Center , offering after-school programs and hosting Serve & Connect events that brought together local youth and law enforcement for positive interaction and connection through tennis. When the pandemic disrupted traditional programming, AYTEF responded with resilience. In December 2020 , we launched a new chapter at Fair Oaks Tennis Center in Marietta, GA , where we now serve as a hub for consistent, year-round programming that blends sport, education, and life skills. AYTEF serves approximately 400 youth annually , providing 46 weeks of tennis instruction and educational enrichment each year. Our programs are rooted in Sports-Based Youth Development (SBYD), designed to nurture each child’s physical, academic, and emotional well-being.
