A Brooklyn nonprofit is working to make the sport of tennis more accessible in underserved communities. HannahKliger explains.
Program leaders believe the lessons that can be taught on the court will be helpful to these young people later in life.
This season, they've also started expanding their team by hiring teens who came directly from the league. Delrosario is one of those recent hires. Lessons and equipment are free to the league's families, thanks to funding provided by groups like Brooklyn Communities Collaborative. Moms like Andrea Donadelle, whose three daughters attend the classes, says this gives them the opportunity to play the sport they love.
