NATC is proud to contribute over $30,000 each year to the New Albany-Plain Local Joint Park District & Schools. These funds are used for youth baseball, soccer, football, basketball and many other programs. Thank you for your generous support in helping us provide opportunities for a lifetime of fitness to all area residents.  Did You Know... Playing tennis will significantly improve your batting average! Just ask Paul O'Neill or Pete Rose, two of baseball's greatest hitters. Their secret: cross-training by playing tennis 3-4 times per week during every off-season of their baseball careers.  Playing tennis is just like swinging the bat 500 times every hour, plus the strike zone is huge and on both sides and the ball moves faster with more spin.  Tennis also keeps your fitness level high and your fielding (ball tracking)  and throwing (serving) skills sharp.
