Princeton Tennis Program’s Guiding Principles

The Princeton Tennis Program is dedicated to fostering conditions that encourage all people to feel welcomed to participate in the sport of tennis as a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle choice. By respecting race, religion, skin color, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical abilities, age, parental or veteran status, work and behavioral styles as well as the perspectives of each individual as shaped by their environment and experiences, the Princeton Tennis Program remains vigilant in its efforts to acknowledge and appreciate diversity and its implications.

Organizational Vision: The Princeton Tennis Program (PTP) is nationally recognized as a premier, full-service and fully inclusive community tennis association that--individually and in partnership with other organizations--provides a full pathway of tennis opportunities for youth and adult of all ages, abilities and economic means. PTP serves as the engine that drives a thriving tennis community in central New Jersey.
