(PTi) is a group of volunteers and teaching pros who use our passion for our favorite sport to help kids and adults learn and get in the game. We see tennis as a community sport, learned and played at public facilities. Like the founders of our 501(c)(3) nonprofit over 20 years ago who coordinated with the Town of Hilton Head to build Chaplin Park, we\u2019re committed to affordable, accessible tennis for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This means outreach programs, serving those who might not otherwise have access to tennis, and adaptive tennis for special athletes. It also means working closely with local government and advocating for building more public courts. Public Tennis programs include youth, adult and family clinics, Special Olympics and adaptive programs, summer camps, and Phys Ed classes at elementary schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">To deliver programs, we partner with Hilton Head Island Recreation, Beaufort County Parks &amp; Recreation, SOAR Special Recreation, Special Olympics, and the school districts of Beaufort County and Jasper County. We work at 2 public parks and with 10 public schools, introducing tennis to hundreds of school children, coaching approximately 140 youth and adult special athletes, and conducting ongoing clinics with approximately 200 youth participants yearly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We are funded by local events, local sponsors, grants, and generous donations. We are a USTA Community Tennis Association and a USTA Foundation NJTL (National Junior Tennis and Learning) Chapter, bringing the benefits of our shared values and resources to our service area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">To Coach with PTi, text your name to (843) 310-6080 and we will contact you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">To contribute to PTi: publictennis.org\/donate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><em>Play with us, coach with us, partner with us \u2026 Let\u2019s grow tennis together!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"is-style-wide wp-block-separator has-text-color has-medium-gray-color has-css-opacity has-medium-gray-background-color has-background\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>STAX<\/strong> is a block-based Full-Site Editor WordPress theme. <em>Translation<\/em> \u2014 <strong>STAX<\/strong> makes it incredibly easy to design and build an entire WordPress website without any builder plugins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5384,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-979","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/publictennis.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/publictennis.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/publictennis.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/publictennis.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/publictennis.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=979"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/publictennis.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5493,"href":"https:\/\/publictennis.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/979\/revisions\/5493"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/publictennis.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/publictennis.org\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
