Our Spring, Summer and Fall programs are free and open to all children ages 7-18 at the Althea Gibson Tennis Center in Branch Brook Park.

We provide tennis rackets and any equipment your child needs to get out and play. Led by Newark born, Bob Bynum, GNTE’s Director of Tennis, each seasonal program provides your child with tennis instruction, life skills training, academic support and a fun, play-centric environment.

• Weekly tennis instruction for parents and caregivers, adding to the family fun and furthering the community impact
• The opportunity to participate at Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day at the US Open each summer
• Rally for Tennis’ annual Summer Celebration Event for GNTE

In the summer, GNTE partners with Seton Hall University’s College of Education and Human Services to provide children with a cognitive-behavioral curriculum focused on social and emotional learning. In tandem with our tennis instruction, the program is designed to equip students with critical life skills that empower them in their social interactions and everyday activities off the court, setting them up for success in school, careers and beyond.
