TRIANGLE TENNIS TRUST

Triangle Tennis Trust (TTT) is a project of the National Council of YMCAs, New Delhi. It stands as a fine example of successful collaboration between the Public Sector, represented by the YMCA College of Physical Education and the Private Sector, represented by the family of Late Dr N C Krishnan, an eminent Chartered Accountant of Chennai.

Inaugurated on 1st January 1982, TTT has attracted a number of youngsters for being trained in the game that has become increasingly popular over the years. TTT is registered as a charitable institution and is solely devoted to developing the game of tennis.

Spread over a three-acre site in the YMCA College campus at Nandanam, Chennai, TTT has 10 well-maintained clay courts, one synthetic and a "Tiny-Tots" court situated amidst lush green lawns. A team of dedicated coaches provides intensive training to young boys and girls under the age of 16 years. The primary objective is to equip them with the skills necessary to become hardcore tennis professionals, capable of pursuing a rewarding career in a competitive environment. The youngsters are also exposed to a genial atmosphere conducive for the growth of their character, thereby grooming them to be high caliber tennis players with desirable social qualities of discipline, self reliance and sportsmanship. The entire administration is overseen by a board of Trustees whose dedicated efforts have ensured that the institution has grown to this great stature.

Over the years, the trust has, through sponsorship, developed 11 wonderful courts and built a change room complex for the trainees. The trust has also sponsored its coaches to undergo training at reputed coaching centres abroad. The trust strives to provide high standards of training to youngsters and to make TTT a premier centre in the country for the development of Tennis.

The team at TTT comprises several experienced coaches and a dedicated ground staff. The training at the academy includes programmed physical conditioning and systematic video-analysis. Trainees also have the opportunity to rub shoulders with top-ranked players. Besides, there are special yoga camps during the summer season conducted by trained instructors. All these combine in making TTT one of the most intensive training academies in the country today.

Admission is restricted to trainees under the age of 16 years.

The academy is open on all days, except Mondays. The training sessions and costs are as below:
