ITEC’s Mission
Through education and social services, ITEC fosters a community where every child in Israel is welcomed and empowered with life skills both on and off the court.
For many of our children, ITEC is their safe haven. We meet them wherever there is a need and we help them overcome hardships. The struggles might be financial, as we are often reaching out to help underserved and underprivileged families. However, the need can also be personal, as many of our programs work to build confidence and inner strength.
Through tennis is at the core of what we offer, it is only the first step in a much broader program of personal growth, centered around emotional and social development. It is the way in. Tennis is the tool that empowers the children of ITEC to learn the life skills that will help them pursue their dreams. As a result, our children don’t even have to be good at tennis to gain the real value from our programs. We embrace children of all abilities and physical skills, including those with special needs.
As an organization, we are dedicated to the principles of equality, excellence, education, and leadership development for each and every child in Israel. All religions and ethnicities are welcome. The wonderful thing about working with children is that they bring no preconceptions or prejudices. For them, we are all just people. We see this as building bridges and creating new pathways of communication where none existed previously. Where there is a bridge, comes a greater degree of understanding, and this is why our mission is so vital to the future peace and stength of Israel.
High Performance
Since 1976, ITEC has produced many world class players on the ATP and WTA tours. In fact, ITEC alums are inextricably linked to some of Israel’s most memorable sports moments, making Israeli and Jewish communities abroad proud of their heritage.
“The first thing I said after I stopped playing tennis professionally was that I’m going to help continue this great organization [Israel Tennis & Education Centers]. ITEC has centers in the most impoverished and troubled parts of Israel, where children need afterschool programs and adults who believe in them… .I really believe that ITEC gives children a better chance in life, and I love being part of that mission.”
- Andy Ram, 3x doubles Grandslam Champion and ITEC ambassador

Social Services Programs
In 1976, six visonaries who loved tennis and understood the intrinsic values of the game, realized their dream, by opening the first tennis center in Ramat Hasharon. That dream has since grown into the largest social services organization in Israel.
Girls’ Empowerment
The Girls’ Empowerment Program seeks to foster autonomy and self-confidence among all girls living in Israel through tennis lessons, physical fitness, health instruction, and empowerment seminars led by trained professionals. Employing a mix of education, support, and encouragement, the program aims to equip young women with the tools they need to make healthy choices and succeed.
Special Needs
The Special Needs Program provides a nurturing environment where children and adults with intellectual, developmental, and physical challenges can feel comfortable and valued for who they are, building friendships, and becoming part of a welcoming community.
Healthy Living
ITEC is alway slooking to meet the most pressing needs of Israeli’s children. In 2013, with the childhood obesity rates in Israel at nearly 17%, ITEC, in conjunction with certified dieticians, created a special program to address the issue of obesity and promote healthy lifestyles for children and families.
Living Together
Through intentional programming designed to bring together and build community among all of Isreal’s youth, ITEC encourages children and families of diverse backgrounds to engae in constructive dialogue, set shared goals, and realize their commonalities, enriching their lives and building bridges of peace in the region.
Embrace
Embrace is ITEC’s most comprehensive and holistic iniative for youth defined as at-risk, meaning they are less likely to transition successfully into adulthood. Embrace is designed to support, as well as socially and mentally empower, youth through counseling, mentoring, social and educational enrichment, tennis lessions, and fitness instruction.
Ethiopian Integration
ITEC has a long and rich history of providing opportunities and support to immigrant childdren from all over the world, including the former Soviet Union, South Lebanon, Nigeria, Sudan, and Ethiopia, as well as the children of foreign workers from Africa, Asia, and beyond.
Head Start
ITEC’s Ami Ram Head Start Program was founded by Andy Ram, ITEC Alumni and 3-time Gran Slam Doubles Champion, in honor of his father, Ami Ram z”l, to strengthen communities by providing opportunities for children living in areas on the periphery of Israeli society to play tennis and have educational instruction.
24 Communities
In 1976, six visionaries from Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom realized their dream and opened the first center for tennis in Ramat Hasharon. Since then, ITEC has grown to 24 communities across Israel, including 18 centers and 6 sattelite centers.
