Current Charity

Blue Hill Troupe is proud to partner with the Kings County Tennis League as charity partner for our 102^nd and 103^rd seasons.

Kings County Tennis League (KCTL) is a dynamic non-profit organization with a mission to combine tennis and education to ignite the potential of children in and around Brooklyn Public Housing. The vision is to remove barriers and provide a platform for youth development, fostering skills, values and relationships for future success. KCTL got its start in 2010 when founder Michael McCasland was playing at a neglected tennis court near Marcy Houses. Fast forward to today – KCTL has expanded to six public housing developments, ten children’s and community centers and three tennis partner locations in Brooklyn. The KCTL pathway programming continues to grow, offering nearly 1,000 young people ages 3-18 the chance to develop physically, emotionally and socially both on and off the court.

Net proceeds from the Troupe’s upcoming seasons will go towards funding KCTL’s Summer Saturday program, one of KCTKL’s main programs spread across 6 sites: Mercy, Tompkins, Sumner, Lafayette Gardens, Brevoort and Ingersoll. Summer Saturday is a two hour program from June to September that combines on and off the court programming. The on-court portion is designed to develop tennis skills through footwork, movement, activities, and games. The off-court portion features activities to build resilience, relationships with peers and coaches, and foster a send of community.
