17TH ANNUAL DTEA BANQUET
Join us in celebrating the 17th Annual DTEA Banquet
The DTEA Banquet is an annual celebration that brings our community together for an unforgettable afternoon filled with music, food, prizes, and special recognition. It’s a time to reflect on another successful year of tennis and education while honoring the students who truly shined both on and off the court. From our ASP program participants to Junior Development and Junior Competitive players, along with Excellence Award recipients, we proudly recognize the dedication and growth across all levels. We also celebrate the invaluable support of our parents, families, and sponsors who make it all possible. More than just an event, the banquet is a meaningful gathering that highlights the spirit, achievements, and unity of the DTEA family.
