After School Programs
TEAM
Tennis, Education and Mentoring (TEAM) is an intensive school-year tennis, education, and life skills development program. Working in close partnership with local schools and youth-serving organizations, MTEF’s After-School TEAM Program delivers an intensive 26 week experience for urban elementary and middle school students. TEAM provides equal amounts of academic support, tennis instruction, and life skills development in a structured, supportive environment. Our activities focus not only on building tennis and literacy skills but promoting resiliency among young people facing challenges on the path to adulthood.
