ABOUT US
United Through Sports (UTS) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization based in Long Island, New York, dedicated to providing inclusive, community-based sports programs, with a special focus on autistic and neurodiverse youth and their families.
Our belief is that tennis can be more than a sport — it can be a pathway for connection, confidence, and community engagement. Through structured, adaptive tennis programming, we aim to support physical activity, social participation, and personal growth in a safe and welcoming environment.
