Meet Our Team
The DTP Staff and Board are made up of tennis coaches, professionals, leaders, community partners, and many talented individuals dedicated to serving kids. We believe tennis is a resource for youth development, not a privilege. Our team uses tennis as a tool to help kids be healthier, more resilient, and a part of a friendly, diverse, and kind community.
