Youth Tennis Foundation of Florida
Individual Award Application

Kelley Family Award

The concept of team tennis has always been near and dear to prior YTF president, Pierce Kelley's heart. In 1976, Pierce initiated through the YTF the first team tennis program in the State of Florida that was later picked-up and administered by the FTA. The program continues to thrive today due to Pierce's leadership, passion and efforts that started some 30 years ago. As such, the board thought it only fitting that the Kelley name be associated in perpetuity with junior team tennis.
