As president of the Atlanta Tennis Club, Terry Alexander is the inspirational vision behind the movement. He has been a native of metro Atlanta for over 35 years but he was born and raised in Richmond, Va. Richmond is where he learned the sport of tennis.

​

While in high school he started teaching developing skills as an assistant coach and going on to instruct youth in summer tennis camps. He attended Livingstone College on full tennis scholarship for 3 years before enlisted in the United States Navy. While in the Navy, he continued to instruct and compete in tennis tournaments on his off time.

 

Once honorably discharged, he moved to Atlanta, finishing his degree at Morehouse College, while becoming the Head Men's Tennis Coach. He has created and implemented successful instructional tennis programs for youth, adults and seniors over the last 35 years, some programs have been recognized by the United States Tennis Association. 

​

Terry's passion to play the game of tennis is only surpassed by his passion to teach the game to his community. He has and continues to spread the game to thousands with free to affordable tennis instruction for all interested. Everywhere he goes players and places have been greatly improved, which is evident by him being selected 2023 Tennis Director of the Year for The State of Georgia. Now he strives to build a facility in Metro Atlanta that will pattern his passion to serve the community in a way that can be recognized and seen on a national level.
