Help bring tennis to the kids!
We are proud to be an official charity partner of New York Road Runners, for the TCS New York City Marathon!
KCTL serves children living in and around Brooklyn public housing, using tennis and off-court educational activities as instruments for youth development. We remove the physical and financial barriers to tennis by renovating or creating courts on underused play spaces and bringing our staff, volunteers, equipment and programs directly to where our students reside.
KCTL cultivates each child’s strengths while helping develop skills, values and relationships for future success. Through this partnership, we are able to make every mile meaningful in our mission to continue providing tennis to the Brooklyn community.
