DENVER URBAN YOUTH TENNIS ACADEMY

The Denver Urban Youth Tennis Academy is a cooperative effort of Denver Parks & Recreation, City Park Racquet Club (a 501C3 nonprofit organization) and local tennis associations, such as the USTA. The Denver Academy provides underserved children (7-18) from Denver's inner city with the opportunity to receive high performance training for competitive tennis. Up to 56 players are selected for the program annually in mid-September through tryouts at Denver's City Park. In addition to training, players receive clothing, equipment support, and supplemental entry fees. Players are encouraged to play in local tournaments, high school and USTA sanctioned events with the hope that some players will have the opportunity to obtain collegiate tennis scholarships.
