Net Positive Tennis is a student-led nonprofit dedicated to using tennis as a tool for personal growth. While learning the game is important, our greater purpose is helping young people become confident, respectful, and resilient individuals who carry those values beyond the court. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the lifelong benefits of tennis, regardless of cost or access. Through free and low-cost clinics, simple at-home practice ideas, equipment education, and community connections, we remove barriers that often prevent families from participating in the sport. Our goal isn't simply to create better tennis players—we're working to develop stronger people and stronger communities.
These five pillars guide how we teach, compete, lead, and serve our community.
Choosing integrity and doing what is right, even when no one is watching.
Valuing teammates, opponents, coaches, families, and the game itself.
Responding to mistakes and challenges with effort, patience, and determination.
Building belief through preparation, courage, improvement, and consistent effort.
Taking ownership of our choices and actions both on and off the court.
