Four JTCC players had a week to remember at the USTA Foundation Haber Career Week/Amex Cup that took place from Aug 30-Sept 5 🙌
Shristi Selvan, Stefanie Smart-Abbey, Shaun Fernando, and Yared Alfred joined 24 players from NJTL chapters across the country for an unforgettable experience.
Highlights included hitting the courts at the US Open, exploring the Central Park Zoo, watching matches from the Presidential Suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium, and visiting top companies like ABC Studios, H/2 Capital, and Morrison & Cohen.
Thank you to @ustafoundation and JTCC Junior Performance Program Manager Terence Tche for accompanying the players and making it a week of tennis, learning, and service that created memories to last a lifetime. 💙

Yesterday, we proudly unveiled the plaque for the JTCC Keith Robert Larson Scholarship Fund above the entrance to Building One, honoring a legacy of passion, resilience, and community.
Keith was a longtime member of the JTCC community and an enthusiastic supporter of our programs, and although he is no longer able to play tennis, his passion for the game lives on.
Through the support of his father, Bob, and fellow JTCC member Dick Charlton, the JTCC Keith Robert Larson Scholarship Fund was created to empower the next generation of high-performance athletes.
The fund provides need-based scholarships for players committed to excellence on and off the court. Last year, Nico Pedraza was announced as the first recipient of the scholarship fund, receiving up to $10,000 annually until he graduates from high school.
A second recipient will be announced soon.
If you would like to honor Keith’s legacy and invest in the future of high-performance athletes, please click the link in our bio.
✨ From College Park to Arthur Ashe Stadium ✨
24 JTCC players representing our wheelchair, para standing, veterans, and Special Olympics programs took the court at the US Open on Sept 3.
As part of the USTA Net Generation on-court experience, they showcased the fun and energy of tennis in Arthur Ashe Stadium—right before the quarterfinal night session.
We’re proud of our players for bringing the game we love to one of the biggest stages in tennis. 💙💚

🎒📚 Kicking off the school year with learning beyond the classroom!
This week, JTCC School students took part in two amazing off-site experiences:
🧬 A field trip to the National Museum of Health & Medicine in Silver Spring, exploring medical science and history with hands-on exhibits.
🤝 A service project with Food for All DC, where students packed over 100 grocery bags for families in need.
Director Mark Santangelo summed it up best: “I was very proud of how the students stepped up… showing teamwork, curiosity, and respect. All in all, we are off to a great start of the year!”

🚨 Big news for the game we love.
The USTA Foundation’s new Community Impact Hub initiative is bringing $6 million in funding to NJTL chapters like JTCC—and we’re all in.
Highlights:
🔹 JTCC is 1 of just 10 locations across the country chosen to drive this movement
🔹 Each NJTL will train 300 coaches by 2027
🔹 35 million tennis players will participate nationwide by 2035
JTCC Community Outreach Manager Evan Morsell said it best:
“As a result of the community impact hub initiative, we’re able to accomplish our mission here at JTCC of providing Tennis for Everybody by training coaches and developing students in the communities we serve.”
Featured in Forbes, this initiative is about more than tennis. It’s about equity, opportunity, and building the next generation of leaders on and off the court.

JTCC’s Renee Schmidt is breaking barriers at the 2025 US Open. 🎾💪
She’ll compete Sept 4–6 in the Para-Standing Invitational—the first year the event includes men’s & women’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, with 16 athletes from around the world. 🌍
For Renee, this moment is bigger than tennis. After two major spine surgeries, she thought she’d never play again.
An adaptive clinic at JTCC reintroduced her to the sport—and opened the door to community, new possibilities, and even running and jumping again.
📍 Catch her on the Field Courts Sept 4–6 at the US Open.

Last week JTCC & ITF J300 players got a taste of wheelchair tennis — and let’s just say, it was a little difficult to say the least 😅
And did you know the main difference with wheelchair tennis is that you get two bounces?🎾♿️
Check out JTCC this week for exciting wheelchair tennis and to witness some of the best players in the world!
