Israel Tennis Centers (ITC) is the largest tennis program for children in the world, reaching more than 350,000 families which is 5% of the Israeli population. With 14 centers around the country, they use tennis to promote the social, physical and psychological well being of their students (through other programs such as their Life Skills program).
