Learn about our journey, mission, and the community that makes ATR special.

Our Mission

The Association of Tennis Recreationals (ATR) is dedicated to providing competitive tennis opportunities for players of all skill levels while supporting charitable causes in our community.

We aim to foster a vibrant and inclusive community of tennis enthusiasts, promote sportsmanship and fair play, and give back through our partnership with the Children's Inn at NIH.

Our History

Founded in 2010, ATR has grown from a small group of tennis enthusiasts to a thriving community of tennis players. We organize seasonal ladders, tournaments, and charity events throughout the year.

What began as casual weekend matches among friends has evolved into a structured organization that hosts tournaments and maintains year-round ladder competitions.

Throughout our growth, we've maintained our commitment to both competitive tennis and charitable giving, supporting the Children's Inn at NIH.
