LETT, Learning Excellence Through Tennis, is a small nonprofit serving Birmingham, Alabama. Beginning in 1998 as the Birmingham Area Tennis Association, the organization provides tennis and academic opportunities to youth with an eye on improving health and offering a productive activity for children when they are not in school. Additionally, tennis teaches discipline, social skills, improves self-esteem, and promotes physical fitness.
LETT reaches 10,000 children each year with after-school, summer camp, and academic programs. Children who are interested are given access to all the equipment necessary to play. The organization gears itself to take on beginners and see them through to USTA Youth Team Tennis competitions.
