Our idea is to use tennis as a way to gain and hold the attention of young people in the inner cities and other poor environments so that we can teach them about matters more important than tennis....Through tennis, lives can be changed and spirits reclaimed.
~Arthur Ashe, National Junior Tennis League Co-Founder
The National Junior Tennis League of Indianapolis' purpose is to fulfill Arthur Ashe's vision of offering low-cost tennis and life skills instruction to children, regardless of socio-economic circumstances.

NJTL celebrates its successes over the past 36 years. Here are a few quotes sharing the positive impact that NJTL has had on the lives of Central Indiana Youth:
"I love how the program focused on life skills. As a teacher myself, I know kids may not always discuss what goes on in schools/sports but that doesn't mean it isn't working. Please keep focusing on them!" ~ 2008 NJTL Parent
"The great thing about NJTL is that we teach so much more than tennis. On a daily basis, I encouraged the kids to make healthy choices and presented them with a goal each week, like to not drink soda. I would also share a 'life skill' every week, such as being respectful, trying your personal best.... I like to think that each kid ends the hour, not only having improved at tennis, but having gone away with a a principle that can carry on for a lifetime." ~ 2008 NJTL Instructor
