In New Orleans, tennis is often seen as a sport for a select few. Many courts in the heart of our city are old, broken down, or abandoned, leaving kids with the desire to play, but no place to learn or grow.
That’s where The 18th Ward steps in. Two years ago, we launched a youth tennis program to change that reality. What started with 42 kids has grown to 126 and counting.
With your support, we can continue expanding access by providing equipment (rackets, balls, nets), court space and maintenance, coaching and mentorship, tournament opportunities, and safe, structured programming for youth across the city.
We are building more than tennis players, we are building confidence, discipline, and opportunity. Your donation helps us reach even more kids and give them a place to belong.
Every donation, big or small, helps us keep kids on the court and off the sidelines.
