Our
Pledge
Over the
last four decades, some 250 young Nigerian tennis players came to America on a tennis scholarship or by the generosity of
a Nigerian or an expatriate living in Nigeria. Many of them played professional tennis and are now retired. Others are involved
in coaching and growing the game, while others are engaged in various occupations. There is now an urgent need to give something
back to our communities, particularly to Nigeria. We pledge to return the game of tennis in Nigeria to world-class level by
the year 2020.
Vision
Our vision
is to see more underprivileged minority youths go to college and consequently compete in national and international competitions.
Mission
Our mission
is to coach and train young players to become ambassador of the game and leaders in their communities.
