Jr. Team Tennis
As popular as tennis is, there are literally millions of people who have yet to be introduced to the game and many others who will play more often, if given the opportunity. As Milwaukee’s official Community Tennis Association (CTA), and National Junior Tennis League (NJTL) Chapter, MTEF assists in the delivery, support, and integration of tennis programs in this community.
Jr. Team Tennis (JTT) is the largest junior recreational tennis league in the United States with over 400,000 participants nation-wide and over 35,000 players in the Midwest Section. JTT is often compared to Little League Baseball, as the program offers children the opportunity to develop their individual and team tennis skills in a fun, yet competitive atmosphere. The Milwaukee league, with its 850 players, is one of the largest local summer leagues in the Midwest Section. At the conclusion of the summer league, winning division teams have the opportunity to advance in district and sectional playoffs.

Charlee Goodman
8th Grade First Serve Participant

“Signing Charlee up for MTEF is one of the best things that has happened to her,” stated Charlee’s mom, Vanessa Goodman. “The First Serve program has improved Charlee’s self-esteem, confidence, and social skills, not to mention how much her tennis has improved.”
