United Tennis is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization approved by the state of North Carolina. Our goal is to bring the sport of tennis closer to all people regardless of their economic income and socio-economic status. In 2021, United Tennis became the first USTA-sanctioned National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) in the Gastonia area. The National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) network has more than 250 non-profit organizations in the country, whose main objective is youth development through free or low-cost tennis and educational programs.
United Tennis reached an agreement, in 2020, with the City of Gastonia Parks and Recreation department to be able to use the tennis courts in certain public parks.
From the United Tennis Organization we want to encourage all boys, girls, youth and adults who want to practice a new sport, to contact us. Tennis has great benefits beyond health and physical activity. Tennis promotes teamwork, offers social skills and sportsmanship. It also promotes coordination, agility and balance. It gives you strategic thinking and helps you in problem solving and very importantly, it promotes self-confidence.
