Who We Are
DTEA is the official National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) chapter for Dallas. The NJTL network was founded with the goal of using tennis to reach youth from under-served communities to teach them character and life skills.

At DTEA, we strive to ensure that each child is valued and loved. Using tennis, we equip youth to lead healthy, successful, and meaningful lives on and off the court.
