YTSD Youth Pathway

Since our founding in 1952, we've been committed to empowering youth to reach their full potential. Over the past 70+ years, we've had the honor of transforming thousands of lives in our community.

We offer a structured pathway to success, beginning with underserved youth in San Diego. Through our After School Tennis (AST) program, children gain access to tennis and the opportunity to develop their skills. From there, they can progress through programs like Red Ball and Green Ball, ultimately advancing to the prestigious Steve Adamson Tennis Academy.

At YTSD, we provide essential resources—including equipment, scholarships, and expert coaching—to ensure every child has the opportunity to dream big and achieve their goals.

This opportunity paved the way for him to receive tennis scholarships at UC Davis and SMU, where he played Division 1 Tennis. After completing his master's, he returned to YTSD, where he has been coaching at Barnes Tennis Center for 2 years at the Steve Adamson Tennis Academy where he once trained.
