A Year of Growth, Impact, and Inspiring Tennis Moments Across the Mid-Atlantic

For over 100 years, USTA Mid-Atlantic Foundation champions tennis for healthier lives and communities, making the sport accessible to all in the Mid-Atlantic.

Below are a few highlights of what we’ve accomplished in 2025. 

Empowering the Next Generation: Jr. Player Scholarships

This year we awarded over 63 junior player scholarships to help lower the financial barrier of tennis. Scholarships are used to help cover the cost of a tennis racquet, tennis lessons, and tournament fees. One of our recipients, Nate, used his scholarship to play in the Little Mo Tournament in New York, putting his skills to the test to compete against players from other regions. His experience made him love the game even more and be more committed to becoming a better student-athlete. You can watch and read more of his story here.

Girls Rule the Court™ Increases Participation

Girls Rule the Court™ (GRTC), our free after-school program for girls ages 7-13, received 474 participants this year, a 25% increase from last year. The program gained national attention with a feature  on the Tennis Channel and new GRTC programs formed in states and areas outside of the Mid-Atlantic to meet the growing interest and need. 

GRTC builds and promotes health, wellness, and self-esteem through tennis. Visit GRTC to learn more.

Adult League Championships: A Year of National Highlights

This year, 42 teams represented Team Mid-Atlantic during the 2025 USTA League Nationals Championships. This year, Mid-Atlantic won the Mixed 40 & Over 9.0 National Championships, and our Mixed 18 & Over 7.0 Team received the sportsmanship award. 

Four other teams also placed in the top four at their respective National Championships.

We also saw a 30% increase in weekend tennis players competing in both USTA-sanctioned and unsanctioned tournaments since 2024. 

Tennis Creates Gala and Fantasy Clinic 

This year’s Tennis Creates Gala was nothing short of extraordinary. Together, our community showed what is possible when passion meets purpose, recognizing gamechangers and visionary leaders. Here are some of the highlights below:

Andrew Acquadro: Building Community Through the Power of Tennis

As the Citywide Tennis and Pickleball Director for the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), Andrew Acquadro leads with purpose, passion, and heart.

He’s not just organizing matches or scheduling courts. He’s creating opportunities for everyone, regardless of background or ability, to experience the joy and connection that tennis brings. Through his vision and tireless commitment, thousands across Washington, D.C., can now experience tennis not only as a sport, but as a community.

“My motivation is to bring the joy of tennis and making it accessible to everyone in the community,” Andrew shared. “Washington, D.C. can be an expensive place to live and tennis is an expensive sport to play, so my goal when I started was to bring private club-level tennis programming to the community at large.”

A Leader Who Serves Beyond the Lines

Under Andrew’s leadership, DPR now hosts USTA, WTN, and UTR youth and adult tournaments at more than 10 sites across the city, serving thousands of players annually. His programs aren’t just well-run, but are inclusive, intentional, and affordable. 

Understanding the financial barriers that often limit access to organized play, Andrew reduced participation fees to make the game more accessible. For example, his adult “Before and After Work” leagues are $30 per six-week session, while youth Level 6 tournaments, which typically cost $78 per player, are only $30 per entry.

“Putting a tennis racquet into the hands of a young person gives them an activity that improves their mental and physical health throughout their lives,” he said. “The more people we reach, the more opportunities they have to share the sport with their family, friends, and coworkers.”

These changes have opened doors for players of all ages and backgrounds, transforming tennis into a truly welcoming space across the District.

Going Above and Beyond

Andrew is the driving force behind Team DPR, an initiative that provides and motivates youth with free training, travel opportunities, and match play through Junior Team Tennis and WTN events.

“We started a free match-play program on Wednesday nights for kids new to the game,” he said proudly. “We had seven kids that went from no experience playing matches to being ranked high enough to be selected into our last L4 tournament we hosted. One child even got a scholarship to attend Nadal’s academy for a week!”

His dedication goes far beyond his job description. He’s often found working weekends, early mornings, and late evenings. Even when DPR facilities are closed, he ensures seniors, youth, and adults have consistent programming year-round.

“In the few weeks where tennis courts were closed, my team pivoted to creating online content to keep people motivated,” Andrew recalled. “We were not going to let COVID-19 slow us down. We knew the importance of keeping people active.”

His passion is inspiring. Whether picking up a broom, stringing a net, or rallying with kids, Andrew leads by example.

Overcoming Challenges and Inspiring Others

Andrew’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Starting tennis at age 16, facing financial struggles, and enduring multiple knee surgeries, he learned resilience and perseverance early on.

“If you want something badly enough, you must put in the work and believe in yourself,” Andrew said. “Being positive, creative, and consistent is key to achieving your goals.”

His experiences taught him to see every obstacle as an opportunity to grow and inspire others.

During the COVID-19 shutdown, when other sports came to a halt, he fought hard to keep tennis programs by providing people with an outlet and a sense of community during uncertain times.

“The benefits became very evident as attendance in our programs expanded rapidly,” he recalled. “Players told us how essential tennis had become in alleviating the pressures of such a life-changing event.”

Why Andrew Acquadro Inspires Us

At the heart of Andrew’s work is a deep belief in community. He views tennis as a tool for promoting equity and bringing people together, teaching valuable life skills, and inspiring a sense of belonging.

“If you love or are passionate about something, get out there and do something about it. Even if it’s outside your comfort zone,” he encouraged. “Volunteer, have fun with it, or take a course to learn more. You’ll be amazed at how your actions may positively affect someone.”

For his creativity, compassion, and leadership, Andrew Acquadro is the well-deserved recipient of the Community Champion Award.

He reminds us that when passion meets purpose, tennis becomes more than a sport, but becomes a movement that changes lives, one rally at a time.

Join Andrew and the Tennis Creates Awards honorees at the Tennis Creates Gala on Dec. 6 at the Salamander Hotel in Washington DC.

Essam Laskar

Essam Laskar: A Leader, Mentor, and Champion for the Game

When you meet Essam Laskar, you quickly realize that tennis is more than a sport for him. As a lifelong player, passionate coach, and visionary leader, Essam has dedicated himself to growing the game from the ground up, ensuring tennis is accessible, inclusive, and inspiring for everyone. His leadership, creativity, and unwavering commitment to community have made him the deserving recipient of the Provider Champion Award at the 2025 Tennis Creates Awards.

Building a Grassroots Movement

As the Founder and Director of Laskar Tennis, Essam has built one of the most vibrant grassroots programs in the Mid-Atlantic region. What began as a personal dream has grown into a thriving network of affordable and welcoming programs across Maryland and Virginia, serving thousands of players each year.

“Tennis has always been part of my family’s DNA,” said Essam. “My parents and grandparents played, but over time, it became more than tradition; it became purpose. The sport has given me focus, community, and direction.”

That purpose now fuels his mission to give others the same sense of belonging. Through partnerships with seven county parks and recreation departments, his organization has brought tennis to neighborhoods that once had little or no access to the sport. “Partnering with these departments has been transformational,” Essam said. “Thousands of new players, ranging from children to seniors, have found their way onto the court through affordable, community-based instruction.”

In the past year, Laskar Tennis has reached more than 1,000 participants. However, Essam insists that the numbers only tell part of the story. What matters most to him is the environment he’s created: one rooted in accessibility, mentorship, and belonging.

Leading with Purpose and Heart

Those who know Essam describe him as a mentor and a leader. His influence extends far beyond the baseline.

“Our approach is simple. Meet every player where they are. Whether it’s a five-year-old picking up a racquet for the first time or an adult rediscovering the sport, our goal is to make everyone feel seen, supported, and challenged in the right way.”

That personal philosophy is visible in every class and every player’s story. Essam recalls one moment that defined his sense of purpose.

“A parent once pulled me aside after camp and said, ‘My son’s confidence in tennis and his life have completely changed since joining your program.’ That moment stuck with me. It reminded me that what we’re doing isn’t just teaching strokes but shaping mindset, character, and community connection.”

A Legacy of Passion and Perseverance

Tennis runs deep in Essam’s family roots. Both of his parents played professionally in Bangladesh, and from an early age, he was drawn to the game. Balancing a full-time career as an electrical engineer, husband, and father, Essam poured his energy into building a legacy of opportunity.

“Building a multi-county tennis operation from the ground up came with real challenges. From earning trust in new communities to maintaining quality as we scaled,” he admits. “I learned early on that the key was structure. Clear systems, strong communication, and a team that shares the same standard of excellence. Every challenge became a chance to build something more sustainable.”

He’s the first to say that his success hasn’t been a solo effort. “My wife, my parents, and my brother have been my foundation through it all,” he said. “My wife’s patience and constant encouragement keep me grounded. My parents taught me the work ethic that drives this business. Then there’s my brother, who helps lead our programs and has been my right-hand in bringing our vision to life. Without them, none of this happens.”

Championing Community and Character

Beyond his own programs, Essam is an engaged volunteer. He recently volunteered at the Mubadala Citi DC Open Kids Day and the US Open’s Net Generation On-Court Experience.

“Volunteering at the US Open reminded me of tennis’ global reach and how powerful it can be when people from all backgrounds come together around the sport we love,” he said. “I bring that same energy home to our local programs. I want every event and clinic we host to feel organized, inclusive, and special, like you’re part of something bigger.”

A True Provider Champion

When asked what winning this year’s Tennis Creates Award meant to him, Essam reflected with characteristic humility:

“It was a surreal and deeply humbling moment. I’ve always believed that impact comes before recognition. Having USTA Mid-Atlantic Foundation acknowledge our work means a great deal. It’s not just a personal milestone. It’s validation for every coach, partner, and player who’s helped make Laskar Tennis what it is today.”

And when it comes to what he hopes others take away from his story, he keeps it simple and heartfelt:

“I hope my story shows that tennis is a platform for leadership, connection, and impact. What we’ve built with Laskar Tennis proves that with the right vision and persistence, you can create something meaningful that inspires others to take action. When you build with purpose, the community grows with you.”
