Northwest Youth Tennis Association (NWYTA) is a non-profit
501 C (3) community tennis association operating in
and around Northwest Houston. Our purpose is to organize
tennis activities for young tennis player, aged 8
to 18, in an effort to encourage them to pursue tennis
as a lifetime sport, to use good sportsmanship and
to develop an individual and team competitive spirit.
Your child’s tennis career begins with us! Most young
players who go on to earn top state and national rankings,
and are offered college scholarships, started playing
matches in the USTA’s Junior Team Tennis League.
Many of our former players have had much success at
not only the high school but college level.

Do your kids want to put what they are learning at
their lessons and drills, into practice? NWYTA runs
an exciting youth tennis league that has been operating
in Northwest Houston, Cypress, Magnolia/Tomball and
Spring for 40 years, encouraging even the youngest
player to progress beyond basic tennis skills and
develop good sportsmanship attitudes as a team member.
And what a bargain! For only $50, kids get 6 –
10 weeks of matches, a USTA official match T-shirt, a year’s USTA membership
or renewal, the season’s end fun award event and winners'
trophies. What other league gives so much at such
low cost?
How do we do it?
Parents help in running this league as volunteer neighborhood
Coordinators, Team Managers, Division Heads and Executive
Board Members. High school students, beside playing
in the league, can also volunteer to work with a team,
and their hours qualify as community service that
is essential on college applications. As well, local
businesses and tennis pros support our efforts by
donating time and goods as awards to benefit our young
players.
NWYTA welcomes all kids who already have basic tennis
skills. Teams are set in divisions by age and playing
ability, so don’t worry if you’re not an ace! Children
can join a team in their own neighborhood or at local
tennis clubs and play matches against other clubs
and neighborhoods. Half of the matches are on ‘home’
courts and half are at an opposing team’s ‘home’ courts.
NWYTA can help you establish a team in your own neighborhood
or find you a team elsewhere. Winners in the local
league may advance to Regional and State Championships.
