This is Leigh. She is 11 years old now. She has been playing tennis since she was three. This video was taken when she was five. There are at least 20 more children with her extraordinary ability. The only resource they have is OTA. OTA takes children from the age of three and through tennis, helps them develop not only tennis skills but life skills. Everyone benefits, though not all have Leigh’s potential. With your help, Leigh and others like her might someday play on the world stage, might someday be number one in the world! This will not happen without OTA and without your support. Please consider a generous donation now to help Leigh and the other 1,250 children in the OTA program reach their full potential.

Donations are used to provide all of these children with food, clothing, tennis equipment, training, and the opportunity to compete at the highest level.
Dear OTA Friends,
As OTA celebrates its 25th Anniversary, we THANK YOU for your generous commitment to our mission. Every donation has provided critical support and allowed OTA to provide thousands of youth with not only tennis skills, but also character-building mentorship and life skills. We seek out motivated kids who are weighed down by poverty and open a doorway to a bright and productive future.
Together, over the past 25 years, we have:
• Touched the lives of more than 25,000 children, who despite the harshness of poverty, have learned not only tennis, but the values of discipline, self-confidence and the power to dream and believe in themselves.
• Built an academy transforming 16 acres of jungle in Souza into a tennis center, where 44 of the most talented players are housed, fed, trained, educated and receive healthcare (essentials that are often out of reach).
• Made it possible for more than 30 OTA students to earn college scholarships and coaching positions in the USA and Europe, forever changing their lives.
Please take a moment to learn more about OTA by watching the short video below, where Joseph Oyebog (founder of OTA) takes you along to meet the children you help and inspire!

Your support is put into immediate action!
We are committed to providing excellence in academics as well as athletics. Your donation dollars will help us grow our education programs, library, teaching staff and provide for much needed school supplies.
Participation in ITF tournaments is crucial as it helps our top students catch the eye of college recruiters. The cost for participation is high and your donations will help the students who have come so far to reach their higher education goals and soar to success.
We need your continued support.

The children of OTA thank you in advance for your generosity!
