Our History

The American Youth Tennis League (AYTL) was founded in 2025 by lifelong tennis enthusiasts and competitive league players who wanted to give back to the community. Inspired by decades of playing experience, a love for the game, and the friendships and memories it created, our founders set out to make those same opportunities accessible to the next generation.

AYTL was established to fill a critical need for low-cost, high-impact youth tennis programs that welcome players of all backgrounds. Our vision is to create a pathway where every child can experience the camaraderie, teamwork, and joy of tennis — progressing from recreational play to competitive leagues in a supportive, fun, and low-pressure environment.

Looking ahead, AYTL is committed to growing into a national league that provides opportunities for over 100,000 kids each year, helping them build skills, confidence, and a lifelong passion for the sport.

Recreational Tennis

AYTL’s Recreational Tennis Program introduces boys and girls ages 10–18 to the game in a fun and supportive environment. Players participate in practices and matches during the fall and spring seasons, developing age-appropriate skills that are reinforced through weekly games.

Our dedicated parent volunteers, guided and trained by the AYTL professional coaching staff, ensure each team receives quality instruction and mentorship. Beyond league play, AYTL also offers specialized skills clinics, seasonal camps, all-star games, and end-of-season tournaments — giving every player the chance to grow, compete, and enjoy the sport year-round.
