Our Impact
Junior Tennis Underwriting Master Plan (J.U.M.P.). We are thrilled to announce that all children in San Diego and surrounding areas now have the opportunity to participate in USTA-sanctioned L7 and Junior Circuit tournaments at no cost. Our center is proud to be the first and only in the United States to provide this unprecedented service, breaking down financial barriers and fostering a more inclusive community. Typically, entry fees for these tournaments can cost up to $55 per player, making our initiative a significant step forward in promoting equal access to opportunities for young athletes. We are committed to making a lasting impact and ensuring that every child has the chance to showcase their skills and compete.
J.U.M.P
Ivan began his tennis journey at Urban Village at the age of 6. At 9, he earned a scholarship through YTSD to train at Barnes Tennis Center. This opportunity paved the way for him to receive tennis scholarships at UC Davis and SMU, where he played Division 1 tennis. After completing his masters, he returned to BTC, where he has been coaching for 2 years at the academy where he once trained.
