The mission of GRETA is to introduce, train and promote the sport of tennis to all youth and adults in our community and the surrounding area through clinics, lessons, and educational workshops to instruct and educate individuals about the benefits of tennis. We provide and/or partner with local organizations to offer tennis programs for all ages and abilities. We teach players a lifetime love of physical fitness, the health and educational benefits, the value of good sportsmanship and the importance of giving something back to the community through tennis and educational programs.

GRETA works in partnership with the parks and recreation departments, schools, private tennis clubs, tennis professionals, children’s clubs, charities, the NCTA and the USTA to promote and grow the sport of tennis.

Further GRETA will financially support scholarship opportunities for youth tennis instruction, tennis camp opportunities, and tournament participation for local, national and international amateur tennis programs. GRETA also provides financial support for community projects that either promote the benefits of tennis and to provide opportunity for underserved communities.

GRETA is organized and operated to instruct and educate individuals of all ages and skill levels in the sport of tennis. We conduct clinics, lessons, camps and tournaments at municipal parks and recreational areas. Our primary focus is introducing and promoting the sport of tennis to our community while educating the public on the lifelong health and educational benefits of tennis and the value of good sportsmanship and community involvement.

GRETA strives to give opportunity, encouragement and instruction to all youth and adults and all abilities, including those with disabilities, and to promote sportsmanship by providing instruction and other educational assistance. In carrying out its purposes, GRETA may, from time to time work with the USTA North Carolina, USTA North Carolina Foundation, USTA Southern, USTA, USTA Foundation, other community tennis associations and other non-profit or for-profit organizations promoting sportsmanship, recreation and health throughout Greensboro and the surrounding area.

As part of GRETA’s mission to grow tennis in Greensboro and the surrounding areas, we are pleased to offer the opportunity to provide assistance and financial support to organizations who meet the requirements of our Funding/Grant Program.

We seek to grow tennis through league development, school programs, public programs, special events and capital projects. GRETA will consider financially supporting community projects that either promote the sport or provide opportunity for underserved communities.
