History and Mission

 Created in 2002, the Les Halles Cup is an annual invitational tennis tournament for junior boys and girls, 14 years old or younger; from the heart of “Les Halles” cities, New York, Washington D.C. and Miami.  The objective of the Les Halles Cup is to inspire a love of and excitement for tennis in city youth through participation in a tournament event focused on having immediate rewards and fun. The game of tennis is a great motivating force for youths.  The individual nature of the sport helps youth realize their potential, build self esteem and become active participants in life, understanding how hard work helps to achieve success. 

 Held in conjunction with a professional tournament, the Les Halles Cup provides participants with a behind the scenes look at the world of international professional tennis and the preparation, practice and perseverance that lead to success on the court.  Previous Les Halles Cup winners have gone on to compete in international junior tennis competition.

 

The Tournament

 Junior tennis tournaments can often be frustrating for kids particularly as only the one who is the winner will get the rewards. Training and preparation is intense and often the taste of what future success looks and feels like is distant.  The Les Halles Cup is designed to provide support and encouragement and rewards to players from the start.  The tournament is also open to players with little or no experience with tennis and players who have some experience in an organized program.  All players experience the excitement and rewards of competition.
