WTA Star Danielle Collins Visits HJTEP Futures Group

On October 29, HJTEP welcomed WTA tour professional Danielle Collins to the Harlem Armory for an inspirational on-court session with our Futures group.

The Futures program serves as a critical bridge for HJTEP student-athletes, guiding young players as they transition from recreational fundamentals toward competitive tournament play. During her visit, Danielle hit and rallied directly with our students, offering tactical guidance, court awareness tips, and firsthand encouragement on what it takes to train at the highest level of the sport.

Following the clinic, our players swapped their tennis gear for costumes to celebrate Halloween with a party curated by HJTEP Coach Douglas Knox. Danielle remained on site until her departure for the airport, joining the coaching staff to watch the student-athletes participate in festive games and court activities.

HJTEP extends its sincere gratitude to Danielle Collins for taking the time to mentor our young athletes, as well as to Coach Doug for creating a memorable event for our Futures players just three days prior to running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon on behalf of Team Running for Legacy.
