EGTE’s vision is to use tennis, academics, nutritional health, and fitness to improve the quality of life for children within under-resourced families in our community. Our vision is to provide pathways to recreational and educational opportunities, and to promote life values of health, integrity, self-esteem self-discipline and respect for diversity. EGTE is an affiliation of NJTL, which strives to teach children Author Ashe’s ideas and the impact that he made on the world so that they may carry on his legacy using tennis as a way to gain and hold the attention of young people so that we can teach them about matters more important than tennis.
