Dorothy Vest Tennis Center at Battlefield Park is one of, if not the most historic tennis facilities in Mississippi. It has a rich history and continues to thrive today with the NJTL’s that offer tennis programming and educational opportunities open to all Jackson youth.
Russell Dendy
Mississippi Tennis Association Executive Director
I have worked with the JPS Tennis association for many years and have worked alongside many tennis players. Ace 2 Deuce has been a light for our young players and even those that are interested in becoming coaches. Last year we projected one student to go to college on a tennis scholarship with just one year of playing. Ace 2 Deuce was able to give him a chance he never knew existed.

We are having a wonderful experience with the Ace2Deuce tennis program. The skilled coaches have been teaching my daughters the game of tennis with great expertise. This program is not only allowing them to develop their tennis skills, but also teaching them the values of teamwork and sportsmanship.

I am so proud of the Battlefield tennis organization; I've seen young girls and boys go from not knowing how to hold a tennis racket to participating in tennis tournaments. I look forward to seeing the development of not only my daughter but all the youth who come out to learn tennis. I feel that playing tennis has help her not to be afraid to perform in front of people.

I absolutely love the Ace 2 Deuce program! I can see my daughter's growth not only in tennis but also her esteem. We both are learning the fundamentals of tennis and building relationships along the way. I would love for other girls in our underserved communities to experience what has become lifelong moments in my daughter's life.

Being a part of the Battlefield Tennis organization has mental/physically enriched my daughter and I. She has learned techniques that she can apply to tennis, and her own life. In addition I would like to see her challenged more, because I know there are other levels that she can achieve in tennis. The camaraderie that has been established with her teammates, has helped her to develop a little better work ethic towards practice.
