Make sure your child is coming in sneakers, because open toed shoes and crocs are dangerous on the court! From learning how to hold and hug a racket to swinging the racket without a ball, participants will be learning how to build hand-eye coordination by hitting the tennis ball with the racket. No matter which direction it goes! For this week, at least...]]> 2023-07-28 18:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652739540 nyjtl_289k https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652740803 Oh no! We're experiencing a heat wave! Although we provide cool water throughout the day from a cooler, and iced water bottle the night before can keep our participants cool throughout the day. If there is a heat advisory from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, all outdoor and gymnasium activities will be replaced with indoor, classroom activities (including tennis). What will they be doing? Between board games, Nintendo Switch on the big screen, team building exercises, arts and craft, and more there won't be time for them to miss the outdoors! Safety first :) 

On days we are approved for outdoor activities, participants will be learning how to swing the racket to hit the ball directly at their opponents racket on the opposite side of the net. This takes time and strategy so we will be following this into the next week!]]> 2023-07-28 18:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652740803 nyjtl_289k https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652741721 Trips planned for summer rising including local walking trips such as the Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brower Park, and Brooklyn United's on-site carnival!

Can we do this in 7 weeks during Summer Rising? We hope so! NYJTL is in schools throughout New York City (except Staten Island) so find out if we're at a school near you!

We are New York Junior Tennis and Learning. Participants learn the game of tennis, but also take part in academics, arts and craft, healthy living, character development and hands-on learning. We focus on sportsmanship, teamwork, commitment, and character virtues. ]]> 2023-07-28 18:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652743219 nyjtl_289k https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652751298 2023-07-28 19:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652751298 nyjtl_289k https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652751337 Schedule tentative for Summer Rising weeks 1-6

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. ]]> 2023-07-28 19:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652753675 nyjtl_289k https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652753983 “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.” ]]> 2023-07-28 19:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652753983 nyjtl_289k https://padlet.com/nyjtl_289k/43krrgooixcm8oac/wish/2652756110 Concorde Education and NYJTL have worked together to provide coding to our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders!
