Technically, we are an NJTL program but because we don’t have indoor courts, our programming only takes place in the summer. I struggle to find activities to satisfy the “Learning” that is part of National Junior Tennis and LEARNING. I had the idea to add a healthy snacks component to camp tennis. I anticipated some kid resistance to HEALTHY snacks, but I was wrong! Our first healthy snack activity was with local personal trainer and nutritionist Katie Hardie. Half the kids played tennis while the other half made organic energy bites and then we flip flopped. The kids loved making the bites, that were actually balls. They made a lot of extras and then told the counselors that they had to bring them back on the short bus on flimsy paper plates! Our 2nd snack activity was creating a salad bar with lettuce that is organically grown in planters next to the tennis courts! These containers are cultivated by the Town of Fraser, so I asked one of their employees to talk about how organic lettuce is grown. She was a great, kid-friendly speaker and then she grabbed a big bin and had the kids pick lettuce. We added store bought dressing, croutons and a few other veggies for a bona fide salad bar at 10:00 am! Every piece of lettuce was eaten! One of the counselors said “Well, that went a lot better than I thought it would!” lol

How was the program promoted?

The Fraser Rec district promotes all youth programming on their website, with flyers available at the Rec Center, and through word of mouth.

Describe your long-term program funding strategy

Hopefully we will continue to receive grants from organizations like CYTF. Now that we have partnered with the Town of Fraser for some activities, we may be able to tap in to some of their funding as well.

Describe how grant funds were used

Grant funds were used to purchase orange and green dot balls, loaner racquets as well as energy bite and salad bar ingredients. Funds were also used to offset staff costs.

Describe why or why not you’d consider your program a success and share specific success stories

Graham was inspired to compete and entered his first Junior Tournament at the end of the summer. Juliette had never played sports. She is now preparing to go out for her high school team in the Spring and plays outside of class with two other participants from the program. Luciano’s mom referred to the SNTA format and program as “a gem of a program” because of how it helped her son grow as a player and a person. The program builds a habit of disciplined practice (daily training for multiple weeks). As kids are coached, they learn from each other and will hit hundreds of balls each practice. We foster a climate of inclusion and mutual support while holding players to a high standard. While we didn’t have a huge number of students (20), the program was highly impactful for each of the students that enrolled.

How was the program promoted?

We promoted Spring and Summer through advertising at the school, rec centers and Boys and Girls Club. The 11 weeks were divided into Spring (4 wks) and Summer (7 wks). We partnered as a provider for My Spark Denver, a scholarship program for Middle School Students, and are listed on their site.

Describe your long-term program funding strategy

1) Adjust pricing: In Spring/Summer 2024 participants payed $300 for 11 weeks of instruction. We are adjusting our pricing for 2024-25, but the program is still very affordable: $400 for each session : Fall (4 wks), Spring (4 wks) and Summer (7 wks).
2) NJTL- We are exploring the possibility of becoming a network affiliate with the NJTL which can open doors to new funding and support.
3) Seek grants to help grow the program – expanding offerings to include players of all ages – kids and adults.
4)Long term we would like our own facility where SNTA members can play and train. This would allow us to offer programming year round and expand our offerings to include additional academic enrichment and support.

Describe how grant funds were used

We paid a portion of court rental and fees, purchased one ball machine and paid half of the liability insurance.
