Edmonds Tennis & Education Foundation

Empowering Youth Through Tennis, Education, & Nutrition

The Edmonds Tennis & Education Foundation (ETEF) is transforming lives in rural North Carolina. Since 2018, we’ve been a nonprofit force for change, combining tennis, academics, and nutrition to unlock the potential of under-resourced youth ages 5 to 18.

Our Mission

Building Futures Through Sports and Education

At ETEF, we believe in the power of sports and education to build confidence, improve academic skills, and create lasting community connections. By combining athletic training with academic support, we empower youth to achieve their full potential on and off the court.

At ETEF, we go beyond traditional youth programs by integrating tennis, education, and nutrition to create a holistic approach to development. Our initiatives are tailored to meet the needs of under-resourced communities in rural North Carolina, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive both on and off the court.
