Young tennis fans from the Los Angeles area got a lesson from industry leaders on the business of tennis yesterday at the JPMorgan Chase Leadership Day for Kids, which was held during the JPMorgan Chase Open at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA.
Leadership Day for Kids gave 60 children from the Los Angeles Safe Passage Tennis program — an organization that uses tennis as a vehicle to build self-esteem, character, confidence and independent thinking — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from and play with former player Tracy Austin.
In addition to on-court clinics, the children were given an insider’s look at the tennis industry through a tour of the Home Depot Center, as well as an interactive panel discussion with leaders in the business of tennis.
