Mission

Tennis is amazing. Let's make it easier for LGBTQ+ people everywhere to learn, play, compete, and build community on and off the courts.

Our Calendar

Name

In tennis, "at love" is how we win, hold, lose, break or get broken, but also where we begin, and start over.

@LOVE NYC/NJ

Playing tennis is incredibly healthy; doing so in the NYC area is incredibly hard.

We're providing more opportunities to learn and play through social media, our own programs and events (BK Beginner clinics, all-level Playdates, TGNC Tennis Night, socials), and sharing those of other local LGBTQ+ groups.

Check out our calendar, join our WhatsApp, and find us on Instagram and Meetup!

LGBTQ+ Tennis

Beginning in the late 1970s, from Dallas and San Diego to London and Canberra, LGBTQ+ tennis groups started forming worldwide, eventually creating local competitions. In 1991 the Gay and Lesbian Tennis Alliance (GLTA) was formalized to support tournaments globally.

Today, tennis is the world’s most expansive LGBTQ+ sports community, comprising hundreds of thousands of players and fans, dozens of local groups and leagues, 80+ GLTA tournaments, blogs, brands, and podcasts, spanning five continents.
