New England Tennis Thriving Through the Dedication of Junior Mentors and Tennis Veterans Alike!

Rally for Tennis 2025: A Day of Leadership, Mentorship, and Impact! 🎾

On Tuesday, July 29th, the courts at Brandeis University came alive with energy, leadership, and joy as USTA New England’s Junior players hosted an unforgettable Rally for Tennis day — and raised an incredible $60,175 for Advantage Kids!

This annual event was so much more than just a fundraiser. It was a celebration of youth giving back to youth, of tennis being a vehicle for mentorship, growth, and fun. Our Advantage Kids were welcomed onto the courts by their older peers who led them through skill-building drills, energetic games, and plenty of laughter. These young leaders not only coached proper technique and form, they modeled the very best of what tennis teaches: sportsmanship, perseverance, and confidence.

Between rounds of drills and match play, the group enjoyed pizza and ice cream under the sun — complete with dance breaks and a visit from the ice cream truck! The bonds built on court continued to strengthen off-court, too, as friendships were formed and stories were shared.

We are incredibly proud of the USTA juniors who worked tirelessly to make this event possible. Their leadership and dedication to service embody the spirit of Rally for Tennis — and their efforts will have a lasting ripple effect in the lives of the Advantage Kids they mentored.

From all of us at Advantage Kids:THANK YOU for your generosity, your leadership, and your belief in the power of this game to change lives.

Together, we are building stronger communities, one rally at a time. 🎾
