🎾 Congratulations to the 2026 Georgia Positive Athlete Tennis Winners! 🎾

USTA Georgia is proud to partner with the Positive Athlete Foundation to recognize high school student-athletes who demonstrate outstanding character, leadership, resilience, and a commitment to their communities.

This year’s tennis scholarship recipients are:
🏆 Miley Young (Fitzgerald High School College & Career Academy)
🏆 Jaden Turner (Central Gwinnett High School)

Each student received a $1,000 scholarship to support their academic journey. The awards were presented at a ceremony held at the Georgia State Capitol, where USTA Georgia's Amanda Boudreau was on hand to celebrate their achievements.

Congratulations to Miley, Jaden, and all of this year's nominees for being positive role models both on and off the court! 💙🍑

What a fantastic day at our NJTL Leadership Camp! 🎾

On May 30, the Georgia Tennis Foundation welcomed 70 participants from five NJTL chapters across Georgia for a day filled with tennis, leadership development, teamwork, and fun.

Youth from Above the Net, AYTEF, MACH Academy, South Atlanta NJTL, and South Clayton CTA came together to build their skills on and off the court through drills, match play, leadership activities, and team challenges.

The day concluded with our 3rd Annual NJTL Quiz Bowl, where participants tested their knowledge of tennis history, rules, and players. Congratulations to MACH Academy for taking home this year's Quiz Bowl championship! 🏆

A big thank you to our coaches, volunteers, and chapter leaders for helping create meaningful opportunities for the next generation of leaders through tennis.

We "catch up" with Class of 2006 Georgia Tennis Hall of Fame Member Kenny Thorne. Kenny discusses his junior experiences and the influences of both Bill Tym and Bryan Shelton on his development. He reflects on his successful professional career and the lessons he learned both on and off the court that he now translates as the longtime Head Men's Tennis Coach at Georgia Tech.
