On December 22, 1993 the NTC and the City of New York entered into a long-term lease for 46 acres of New York City park land in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Flushing New York. The lease, including renewal options, is for 99 years. The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center consists of Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, Grandstand Court, the indoor tennis facility with 12 courts, players' locker rooms and lounge, restaurants, a pro shop, offices and 20 outdoor courts. All operating and maintenance expenses of the facility are borne by the NTC. As described more fully below, the NTC operates programs at the facility year-round. Throughout the years NTC has made capital improvements to the facility including the indoor tennis facility with 12 indoor courts as well as the reconstruction of all 26 outdoor courts which further helps providing recreational and civic facilities for the general public. Beginning in 2014, the NTC entered into a series of financing transactions referred to as Private Placements which resulted in NTC issuing $600 million in Senior Secured Fixed Rate Notes and a $150 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The majority of the proceeds of the Private Placement are to provide funding for a number of capital projects at the NTC. Pursuant to an agreement between the NTC and United States Tennis Association, Inc.("USTA"), dated as of July 1, 1993, as amended from time-to-time NTC has the right to sell and collect ticket revenue for US Open Tennis Championships held at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Pursuant to the NTC's lease with New York City, certain Private Placement documents, and the agreement with the USTA, the US Open Tennis Championships are held annually at the facility. Community Tennis Development The Community Tennis Development program at the NTC provides for diverse and multiple modalities designed to promote and develop the game of tennis. In addition to promoting valuable social skills, the overarching goal is to ensure all participants, regardless of age, gender and other attributes, pursue activities which enrich their health and physical fitness. This goal is achieved through the NTC's: Recreation Facility - The NTC is open to the public seven days a week, except for the time period of the US Open Tennis Championships or when closed for necessary repairs. Through Community Outreach initiatives, the general public is encouraged to take advantage of the indoor/outdoor tennis courts and other facilities. Courts may be reserved two days in advance or used on the day of play on a first-come, first-serve basis. In 2016, it is estimated that more than 100,000 individuals utilized the facility. Tennis Clinics and Development - The NTC conducts community outreach clinics, such as: Community District 21 "Health and Fitness Day" at the NTC, Queens Day and Ace'ing Autism clinics at the US Open, Friday's "Under the 7" street clinics, Play Streets throughout the borough of Queens, and the annual Queens District Attorney's Star Track "Say Yes to Tennis, No to Violence" program for at-risk youth. The NTC also actively supports partner organizations including: New York Junior Tennis and Learning, the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, and the City Parks Foundation, which provides thousands of youngsters a free opportunity to learn and play tennis. Free tennis workshops are also conducted for recreational tennis coaches. In addition to the clinics, the NTC provides tennis instruction with an educational component for local schools through our ACES (Alternative Classroom Environment for Students) program. From October 2016 through June 2017, this program served over 7000 students from NYC public, charter, and private schools as well as students from surrounding school communities. NTC Tournaments/Events - This program promotes tennis play at the NTC by providing various competitions for local players. Hundreds of boys and girls, ages 6-10 years old, participate in organized, fun, non-elimination, maximal encounter Play Days and Events utilizing short courts, low compression tennis balls and appropriately sized racquets. Older youngsters participate in USTA sanctioned tournaments such as the USTA NTC Junior Classic, a larger, Level 1 sectional tournament, held for boys and girls from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. NTC Summer Camps - Hundreds of NYC children attend our Summer Camps in which they are provided basic tennis instruction, including multi-sport cross-training. The 10 & Under Tennis format is specifically designed to "fit" younger children. Campers will also benefit with the introduction of Net Generation. In addition to basic fitness, all campers are imbued with qualities of good sportsmanship, leading to overall character building. These services are provided at an affordable cost, making it possible for youngsters who would not otherwise get the chance to attend camp or receive tennis instruction. In addition, scholarships are provided to local "ACES" program schools. More than 800+ youngsters participated in the seven week session in 2016. NTC Teaching Programs - These programs provide the public with quality, reasonably-priced tennis instruction from USPTA and/or PTR certified full-time teaching staff. These teaching programs service thousands of players, from the very young (3 years old) to our senior citizens (90+ years old), with a wide variety of lesson plans suited to their abilities. The instructors also work in conjunction with other NTC programs such as adaptive tennis for physically and/or intellectually challenged populations. As with our Summer Camp program, Net Generation will be effectively utilized. 990 Review Process Upon completion by the staff, the Form 990 is reviewed by internal and external legal counsel. Then, the Form 990 is reviewed by the NTC's Audit Committee. The Form 990 is also distributed to the full Board of Directors in advance of filing.
