We are thrilled to be able to bring the sport of tennis to young adults who may otherwise not have the opportunity to play. We envision a Jamaica where every child has developed the skills and confidence to create a better future for themselves and their communities. We currently provide tennis instruction, after-school workshops, and study programs – all because we believe in delivering a healthy balance of fun and learning. However, we can’t keep up this important work without the help of our generous donors. As a contributor, you will enable us to ensure that more children in Mt. Zion get access to tennis. Our promise to you is that 100% of your tax-deductible donations are used to achieve the mission, vision, and objectives of Mt. Zion Tennis Academy. 

Mt. Zion was born out of one man’s dream to provide a creative and positive social outlet for the young people in his community. Delroy Allen, born and raised in Mt. Zion, Jamaica, was a tennis player himself who believed that the game could allow young adults to positively channel their energy, provide a possible future career path, and keep young people off the streets. He hoped to afford young adults the same opportunity he was given – an escape, an opportunity to learn, and the desire to give back. Since our inception, we have introduced hundreds of children to tennis, giving them not only tennis skills but life skills as well. These include values such as integrity, resilience, leadership, teamwork, and excellence. Our training sessions are categorized based on different age and skill levels so that they meet our players at their experience levels. In addition, we offer after-school workshops where students receive assistance with their studies. While we might have started small, we foresee a future where we will be a major force for development in our community and the region at large.
