Youth Tennis San Diego's Annual Gala is our most significant funding source for mission-driven outreach.  The Gala supports our J.U.M.P (Junior Tennis Underwriting Master Plan) initiative, which aims to provide a clear junior pathway by offering FREE tennis and educational programs to schools, parks, and recreation centers throughout San Diego, including the signature Kathy Chabot Willette After School Tennis Program.  In addition, YTSD hosts 19+ FREE USTA-sanctioned L7 and Junior Circuit tournaments a year - the first and only in the US to provide these events with no entry fees.  Futhermore, our top-tier J.U.M.P. programming features the highly respected Steve Adamson Tennis Academy at Barnes Tennis Center.  YTSD serves over 12,000 kids annually across all our tennis and education outreach programs, onsite programming, and FREE tournaments.

Your support can make a real difference in the lives of underprivileged youth from under-resourced communities.  With funding, we can help bridge the economic gap and provide a pathway to success through the benefits of tennis and education, opening up opportunities to reach the upper echelons of the sport and personal achievement, whether D1-D3 college pathway or professional level tennis.

This year's Annual 2023 Gala is scheduled for September 8, 2023, during the San Diego Open WTA250 at Barnes Tennis Center.
