Transforming lives in the communities we serve through sport and education by providing Tennis For Everybody.
About us
JTCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Prince George’s County Maryland, committed to transforming lives through tennis. The organization was founded in 1999 to provide high performance premier tennis instruction to motivated junior players in pursuit of college scholarships. Since JTCC’s founding, over 300 alumni have earned more than $24 million in athletic scholarships and financial aid to top colleges including Harvard, University of Virginia, Howard and Williams. In 2009, JTCC broadened its mission to “Tennis for Everybody”, a commitment to making the sport and its benefits accessible to all, regardless of age, ability and financial situation. As a result, the organization launched the Game On! program to bring grassroots tennis and education to youth in underserved areas of Washington, D.C., a low-cost beginner adult tennis program, and free, weekly adaptive tennis clinics for wheelchair athletes, Special Olympians, and military veterans. JTCC is considered a role model for other facilities by the United States Tennis Association, having been named Outstanding Facility of the Year in 2001 and 2013, and Program of the Year in 2013, 2017, and 2022.

Since 2009, the Pedraza family has been a consistent presence at JTCC. The Pedrazas moved from Colombia to the United States in 2009 so that Dad, Alvaro, could pursue a PhD at the University of Maryland. Rodrigo, who was six at the time, had just begun to play tennis before the big move, and Mom, Laura, found JTCC as a place for him to continue training. Over the years, each Pedraza brother began participating in programming at JTCC as soon as they could hold a racquet. Today, Alvaro competes for George Mason University. Nico, now 15, is making waves on the International Junior and USTA circuit, and Lucas has recently joined him in JTCC’s Champs program. Rodrigo, who attended the University of Maryland, frequently visits the club to support his younger brothers. The Pedrazas’ journey reflects our commitment to "Tennis for Everybody." 🎾 The "25 in 25” series marks the final months of JTCC's 25th Anniversary, celebrating its long history of providing "Tennis for Everybody." Over the next few weeks, JTCC will share 25 significant moments that have contributed to its development and success.

From JTCC player to philanthropist! As part of our '25 in 25' series, we’re highlighting Frances Tiafoe’s incredible journey. Frances began playing at JTCC while his father worked as the Director of Maintenance, and he trained here until turning pro. Now, through the Frances Tiafoe Fund, he’s giving back to the community that helped shape him. In April 2024, Frances contributed $50,000 to JTCC’s Community Champs Program (formerly Neighborhood Youth Outreach), creating opportunities for youth in under-resourced neighborhoods to play tennis and thrive!
