Our History

Arthur Ashe founded the National Junior Tennis League in 1969 with Charlie Pasarell, Ashe's teammate at UCLA who devoted his life to building the game of tennis, and with Sheridan Snyder, a biotech entrepreneur with a passion for tennis. Ashe, to this day the only African American male player to have won the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, was committed not only to tennis but also to ensuring education and equity for all.

New York Junior Tennis League was founded in 1971 by Ashe and by Founder and Chairman Emeritus Lewis "Skip" Hartman with the help of Gene Scott, Bill Shelton, and Erich Werner. In 2013, the U.S. Tennis Association honored Skip with its National Junior Tennis and Learning Founders' Service Award for 40 years of tireless efforts to grow junior tennis programs in NYC and around the country.

"Our idea is to use tennis as a way to gain and hold the attention of young people so that we can teach them about matters more important than tennis."
- Arthur Ashe
