Center for Excellence (CFE)

Our most intensive program, the Center for Excellence (CFE) is designed to help children and youth prepare to achieve self-sufficiency as young adults. More than 100 students participate in the CFE, meeting at our beautiful East Capitol Campus for three hours a day, five days a week after school.

​

Tiny Tots

Upwards of 300 young children, ages 2 to 4, from 16 nearby preschools and child development centers participate in our Tennis Tots program from 10am – 12pm each day. We pick up the children and their teachers in our vans and bring them to our East Capitol Campus in Ward 7, where they play on the six indoor courts.

Arthur Ashe Children's Program

Through the Arthur Ashe Children’s Program (AACP), WTEF enhances the health, safety and academic performance of elementary school students every school year. We provide academic, tennis, and life skills instruction to students after school at DC public schools in Washington, DC’s under-resourced neighborhoods.

Tennis Clinics (West Campus)

Our tennis clinics are suitable for players at all levels, from beginners to those competing in regional and national tournaments. Clinics begin every quarter. Clinics are available for adults and children.
