Veterans Tennis

Free and Low-Cost Tennis Clinics for Active Duty Military Members, Veterans and Their Families

This is my place, right here, JTCC! I started playing tennis at JTCC in 2018, and since then I come here at least twice a week. The only sad thing is I can't come every day! I've learned a lot since I started coming here, and I love concentrating on tennis morning till night.

Samuel Williams, US Army, JTCC Tennis Corps Player since 2018

Since playing adaptive tennis a few years after my stroke, I can walk a lot further, and my balance and stamina have improved tremendously. If you're hesitating, come out here and try it, what's the worst that can happen? You'll fall in love with tennis and want to come play every week like I do. It's a lot of fun, it boost your self confidence dramatically, you feel good about yourself which helps everything.

NGS Tennis Corps

Who: Military veterans and active duty service members with and without disabilities and their families

What: Free tennis clinics

When: Thursdays, 12-2 pm

Where: JTCC (5200 Campus Drive, College Park, MD 20740)

The free program is in partnership with No Greater Sacrifice, a military family support organization. In this unique model of learning tennis, high-performance junior tennis players help teach tennis to veterans, and veterans serve as mentors to youth. The main goal of the program is to connect junior tennis players and military veterans to create an environment of positive role models and community engagement.

Through the program and its partnerships, our veteran tennis players have had the opportunity to compete in Orlando at the USTA National Campus, and participate in the US Open Military Appreciation Day. Mission BBQ also donates lunch to the veterans and junior players bimonthly, serving as an opportunity for both groups to bond.

Tennis rackets and sports wheelchairs are provided to those who need them. Beginner tennis players, experienced tennis players, wounded veterans, active duty military, and military family members are all welcome to join.
