- Combines educational components with tennis skills development.
- Targets juniors of all ages.
- Promotes Fun, Fitness, and Friends: the three main reasons why kids play sports.
- Offers special grant funds for starting new NJTL programs and expanding existing ones.
- Offers National Camp and Scholarship opportunities for participants.
- Provides opportunities to host and/or attend Regional Rallies and play against kids from other NJTL programs from around the region.
- Provides high quality liability and accident insurance at a low-cost.
