Since 1998, the Birmingham Area Tennis Association (BATA) has provided tennis and academic opportunities to youth while improving their health and keeping them productive when out of school. BATA’s mission is to improve children's lives through tennis and education so that they can learn discipline and positive social skills, increase their self-esteem, and improve their physical fitness. In 2006, the board decided to change the name to Learning Excellence Through Tennis (LETT). The organization strives to provide quality programs to youth.

Currently the LETT programs offer year round instruction reaching over 10,000 youth a year. We offer beginner-level tennis instruction all the way to USTA Youth Team Tennis competition. LETT has all the equipment necessary to introduce the game of tennis to any youth wanting to play. To get involved in LETT please email or contact us for participating locations in your community.
