The San Diego tennis community lost one of it's most beloved and passionate supporters this past weekend. Bryan East was a founding member of the Wounded Warrior Tennis Program which has received national recognition over the years. Bryan was heavily involved as a volunteer in the wheelchair tennis community as well as a player. We will provide information about his memorial when it becomes available. Our deepest condolences to Bryan's family and friends.

The SDDTA is working with the Latin American Tennis Foundation (LATF) and

Youth Tennis San Diego (YTSD) to further opportunities for Latino players of all ages. 

The LATF was established because of the lack of quality, high profile organizations representing Latino tennis players and their needs. Through the efforts of my Love & Love Tennis Foundation and by working with underserved Latino community members, I realized more needs to be done in raising awareness and money to provide tennis to kids who only know about soccer and other team sports. I've built a strong relationship with the Pancho Gonzalez Foundation; hosting tennis clinics for Hispanic Heritage Month and collaborating on additional ideas to elevate and support Latinos in the sport. Greg & Dan Gonzales and I have talked about the need to have all Latinos under one big umbrella organization - Imagine what we can do together!
