Since 2019, Vineyard Family Tennis has been fortunate enough to have been awarded two grants from MVYouth, the first in 2019 to replace our tennis bubble which was destroyed in a 2018 nor’easter winter storm. In 2020, Vineyard Family Tennis was awarded a second grant. This time for the purchase and install a 30-ton climate control system. The addition of this new HVAC system was critical for two reasons. First, we could offer programming to children uninterrupted, year round, while eliminating the high cost of taking the bubble down each summer. Second, we are able to better preserve the integrity of the bubble by drawing out moist, humid air which in turn prevents the growth of mold in this especially vulnerable environment. This past August, installation of the HVAC system was completed. The Vineyard Family Tennis campus made the transformation into a four-court summer facility offering climate controlled tennis activities. Our summer program hosted more than 100 children each day through our camps and hourly class opportunities. Our after school program continues to thrive with over 250 children participating each week. Vineyard Family Tennis is forever grateful to the MVYouth organization for their generosity. We are extremely proud of Vineyard Family Tennis and truly enjoy sharing this life-sport and all of the benefits that it provides. Together with MVYouth, we are able to continue our work in the Martha’s Vineyard community for many years to come.
