From the JMTA web site
In September 2010, tennis legend John McEnroe, in partnership with SPORTIME Clubs, launched the John McEnroe Tennis Academy (JMTA) in his hometown of New York City at SPORTIME Randall's Island in Manhattan. SPORTIME Randall's Island is the flagship location for the Academy and for SPORTIME's twelve clubs.

John's passion and belief is that great players can be developed in urban settings, while still having the opportunity to live at home, to pursue their educational goals, and to participate in a variety of sports and extracurricular activities. Through various channels, including community outreach, the Academy works to recruit the most talented and the most highly motivated young athletes in the New York City Metropolitan area, and beyond.

Johnny Mac and JMTA Managing Director, Bennett Schlansky, have assembled a world-class team of directors including: Co-JMTA Directors Patrick McEnroe and Lawrence Kleger; JMTA Performance Director Richard-John Mensing, Jr.; JMTA Director of Mental Toughness and Performance, Dr. Dom Lausic, PhD; JMTA Director, Westchester Annex, Fritz Buehning; JMTA Director, Long Island Annex, Michael Kossoff.

Johnny Mac Tennis Project

Mission: The Johnny Mac Tennis Project (JMTP) changes young lives by removing the economic and social barriers to success through tennis. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, JMTP introduces tennis to thousands of under-resourced New York City area kids, particularly those living in East Harlem and the South Bronx, two communities immediately adjacent to our base at Sportime Randall's Island. JMTP kids are first introduced to tennis as a life-long health, fitness and social activity. For our most dedicated young athletes, ages six to 18 years old, JMTP funds scholarships to the John McEnroe Tennis Academy (JMTA) which provides a pathway to success through competitive tennis, leading to college scholarships, careers in the industry, and, for a few, professional tennis careers and, perhaps, Grand Slam titles.


Johnny Mac Tennis Project

  • Since JMTP was founded in 2012, 4,700 students have participated in free, 32-week tennis programs integrated into their school day
  • 12 public schools from East Harlem and the South Bronx are enrolled in JMTP's free community tennis programs
  • 204 students have been awarded scholarships to the John McEnroe Tennis Academy
