Vineyard Family Tennis was fortunate enough to have been awarded two grants from MVYouth. The first award allowed us to purchase a brand-new air-supported tennis bubble. Later, VFT was awarded a second grant; this time for the purchase and installation of a climate control system that allows for the use of the bubble year-round as well as provides for healthy indoor air quality. This past year, Vineyard Family Tennis continued to welcome more Vineyard families through our junior development program, summer camps and adult tennis activities. Our afterschool program ran to near capacity as our coaches trained children ages 3-18 each afternoon and on Saturday mornings. Summer 2023 was our busiest on record as VFT hosted morning, afternoon and full-day campers for a total of 10 weeks. Adult tennis lovers also enjoyed the facility before and after camp and on the weekends through court usage and private and group instruction. The future is very exciting at VFT as we plan to expand our suite of programming. This past fall, we began a collaboration with the USTA’s National Junior Tennis and Learning Network. As a prospective NJTL chapter, we plan to enhance our reach to local youth through a combination of low-cost tennis and a brand-new afterschool education program. Our adaptive tennis initiative is another program that we plan to further cultivate this year. As an official ACEing Autism partner, we offer on-court opportunities to help children with autism grow, develop and benefit from social connections and fitness through affordable tennis programming. We hope to introduce similar adaptive tennis opportunities in the coming year.
