Sportime Randall’s Island Named Private/Commercial Club of the Year by Racquet Sports Industry (RSI)
Sportime Randall’s Island Named Private/Commercial Club of the Year by Racquet Sports Industry (RSI) - RSI’s Annual Champions of Tennis Awards Honor Excellence in the Industry
New York, NY (January 13, 2024) – Sportime Randall’s Island, a premier tennis and pickleball facility located on Randall’s Island in New York City, has been named the Private/Commercial Club of the Year by Racquet Sports Industry.
This recognition celebrates Sportime Randall’s Island’s commitment to excellence in facilities, programming, community engagement and innovation in the racquet sports industry. Located in Randall’s Island Park in Manhattan, the facility, which Sportime constructed in 2009 at a cost of over $20 million, just underwent a $50+ million expansion and renovation. Spanning more than 260,000 square feet, Sportime Randall’s Island includes 29 hard and soft-surface tennis courts in climate-controlled buildings and year-round and seasonal air structures, making it the largest indoor tennis facility in the world. The club also features six dedicated pickleball courts, four dedicated U10 courts, an athletic training center for group and private sport-specific training, a full service café, a well-stocked pro shop, flexible event spaces, locker rooms, and multiple, beautiful lobbies and lounges.
As the flagship location of the John McEnroe Tennis Academy (JMTA), Sportime Randall’s Island is shaping the next generation of elite junior players. JMTA consistently produces a high percentage of national championship competitors, with many players earning scholarships to play tennis at prestigious colleges and universities, including Ivy League institutions and top NCAA programs.
Sportime Randall’s Island, in partnership with the Johnny Mac Tennis Project (JMTP), a nonprofit organization founded by tennis icon John McEnroe in 2012 to break down economic, racial and social barriers through tennis, delivers free weekly tennis programs to more than 4,000 participants each year: young people from some of NYC’s most under-resourced communities. Since 2012, more than $10.7 million has been awarded in scholarships to youth who lack the financial means to pursue tennis at the highest levels, providing them with the opportunity to chase their tennis dreams and change their lives.
“We’re thrilled that Sportime Randall’s Island has been named Facility of the Year by Racquet Sports Industry,” says Claude Okin, President and CEO of Sportime. “As a lifelong New Yorker, who learned to play tennis in NYC parks, creating this one-of-a-kind, urban tennis hub, in the city that we love, has been a passion project and a dream come true. We are very proud of our flagship facility, not just because it is a great business, with a great future, and has burnished our Company’s legacy in NYC, but because of the impact that its programs, along with our charitable efforts in NYC, have made, and will continue to make, in the lives of NYC kids.”
Sportime Randall’s Island is open 365 days a year and offers instructional and competitive tennis, pickleball and athletic training programs, including JMTA, as well as summer and school-break training camps, for juniors and adults of all ages and levels, provided by its team of world-class directors and coaches. In addition to private and group instruction, seasonal and hourly court rentals are available.

The Village of Mamaroneck requires a daily parking pass or a seasonal parking permit to park in Harbor Island Park between Memorial Day and Labor Day. For your convenience, SPORTIME members who will be playing tennis at our facility during our outdoor season will be given a parking pass for the summer. These passes are now available for pick up at our reception desk.

If you are coming to the club for the first time after May 24th, please come 10-15 minutes early, as you will need to pick up the SPORTIME pass and then go back to the entrance of the park to receive your 4-hour pass. After your first visit, simply keep the SPORTIME pass in your car for Park entry.
Player/Camper Drop Off – No Permit Required:
When dropping off a player or camper, parents/guardians may simply notify the gate attendant that you are dropping off and will not be parking. The gate attendant will not charge you for parking and will give you a 10-15 minute pass for your window, so that you do not get ticketed while dropping off.
If you are Non-Member, but plan to play at the club as a guest or on a per-diem basis, you will not be required to pay for parking when visiting SPORTIME. Just come to the club a few minutes early so that we may provide you with a SPORTIME daily pass, which you will show the parking attendant at the entrance of the park to obtain your 4-hour pass.
Thank you,
SPORTIME Harbor Island Management
PLEASE NOTE: the Village of Mamaroneck will ticket any car that does not display a valid parking pass, and SPORTIME will not be able to help you once you receive a ticket, so please see us first for your SPORTIME pass, use that pass to receive the appropriate parking pass from the Village attendant, and display such pass in your vehicle each time you park!

JMTA College Combine 2024
SPORTIME / John McEnroe Tennis Academy (JMTA) To Host the Eighth Annual College Recruiting Combine on June 22nd and 23rd at SPORTIME Port Washington, formerly the iconic Port Washington Tennis Academy. Rising High School Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors are Invited To Participate In Recruiting Combine At SPORTIME Port Washington, the newest SPORTIME and JMTA location. College Coaches From Brown, Baylor, Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn State, William & Mary, Wake Forest, Bentley, Middlebury, Wesleyan, Stony Brook, Bryant, St. John’s, Hofstra, Union and Colgate Committed To Attend With Many Others Expected.
New York, February 1, 2024 – Helping young athletes attend the colleges of their choice, on full tennis scholarships when possible, is a foundational goal of SPORTIME and JMTA. With dozens of JMTA students currently competing at top colleges across the country, today the Academy announced the Eighth Annual John McEnroe Tennis Academy College Recruiting Combine, scheduled for the weekend of June 22nd and June 23rd, 2024, to be held at the newest SPORTIME and JMTA location, SPORTIME Port Washington.
The Combine, a substantial success in its first seven years, will again give select rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, from around the country and beyond, both JMTA and non-JMTA students, the opportunity to showcase their technical and tactical tennis skills, and their athletic abilities, in front of coaches from top colleges and universities. The Combine also features a live-streaming platform, which gives players the opportunity to perform for a wider group of coaches; last year, over 100 coaches from across the country “attended” the event, virtually, joining those who attended in-person.
“JMTA is committed to preparing our players for college tennis, and to working with them to identify and to help them to attend the colleges and universities that best suit them,” said John McEnroe. “The Combine has been a big hit in its first seven years, and with the 2024 event being hosted at SPORTIME Port Washington, where my brother and I, among others, trained as juniors, it promises to be extra special for me and Patrick.”
The Port Washington Tennis Academy, now SPORTIME Port Washington, and one of two JMTA satellite locations on Long Island, was where legends John McEnroe, Patrick McEnroe, Vitas Gerulaitis, Mary Carillo and Tracy Austin, among others, trained as juniors. An $8 million plus facility renovation is nearing completion, and the facility features 7 oversized, sub-irrigated, soft-surface, Har-Tru tennis courts, 6 new hard-surface tennis courts and 12 new dedicated pickleball courts, as well as many other upgrades and amenities.
The Combine will welcome 50 boys and 50 girls. Coaches representing all three NCAA Divisions are expected to attend, and 2024 commitments to-date have been more impressive than ever, including coaches from Brown, Baylor, Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn State, William & Mary, Wake Forest, Yale and many other top programs, with many more coaches expected to confirm their attendance before the Combine. Representatives from prestigious leagues, including the Ivy League, ACC, Big East, SEC, Big 10, Patriot League and NESCAC attended in previous years and are expected again this year.
Interested players can get more information, and apply to participate in the Combine, at www.Sportime.com/JMTACombine. Combine applications will be accepted from March 1st through May 31st for the 100 Combine spots available. The Combine Selection Committee will evaluate each application based upon objective criteria, and applicants will be informed of their status as “admitted” or “wait-listed”. Those who are wait-listed will be contacted if they are, subsequently, admitted.
Player check-in will begin at 8:00 a.m. for all players on both Combine days. Participants will compete in singles and doubles match play with tracked results that count toward their UTRs. Players will also receive athletic performance assessments and will be invited to participate in Sports Vision Testing and in a College Coaches’ Panel Discussion. Combine partner, Tennis Analytics, will be video-recording all matches and will offer participant packages, including match videos with detailed analytics. Included for each Combine participant is an integrated recruiting package, including the match videos, which are made available, digitally, to both participants and coaches, at the touch of a button on their personal Player Portals.

About the John McEnroe Tennis Academy
In September 2010, tennis legend John McEnroe and SPORTIME partnered to launch the John McEnroe Tennis Academy, in John’s hometown of New York City, at the then 20-court SPORTIME Randall's Island Tennis Center in Manhattan. SPORTIME Randall's Island, recently expanded to feature 30 courts, is SPORTIME’s flagship location, and the flagship location of the Academy. In September 2012, JMTA expanded to SPORTIME Lake Isle, an 8-court, state-of-the-art, year-round facility in lower Westchester, and to SPORTIME Syosset in central Long Island, an 11-court indoor facility that has long served as SPORTIME’s high performance training center on Long Island. In 2015, JMTA Summer Tennis Training was added in the Hamptons, at SPORTIME Amagansett, SPORTIME’s 34-court, seasonal, outdoor tennis facility in the Town of East Hampton. In 2023, JMTA Long Island was expanded to include SPORTIME Port Washington, adding 13 more courts to the region. With the satellite locations, the JMTA brand currently covers 5 sites with a total of 96 tennis courts, serving 3,000 plus players annually. Learn more: www.sportimeny.com/.jmta.
John's passion and belief is that great players can be developed in urban and suburban settings, while still having the opportunity to live at home, pursue their educational goals, and participate in a variety of extracurricular activities. The Academy works to recruit the most talented and the most highly motivated young athletes in the New York Metropolitan area and beyond. Inspired by the vision and presence of Johnny Mac, under the guidance of SPORTIME/JMTA Senior Managing Director, Bennett Schlansky, and executed daily by Executive Director Patrick McEnroe and an international staff of tennis, athletic training and performance directors and coaches, JMTA delivers a complete on and off-court training program, and develops complete players. JMTA includes off-court athletic training, mental toughness, video analytics, educational seminars, college placement assistance and more, designed to assure the best possible outcome for elite junior players, and for other committed players striving to be the best that they can be.

A Power-Packed Weekend: The 2023 JMTA College Recruiting Combine
The weather did not dampen the 7th season for the acclaimed JMTA College Recruiting Combine hosted at SPORTIME Randall’s Island. The past weekend of June 24th and 25th witnessed a grand display of skill, talent, and potential at the much-anticipated event. For two days, the spotlight shone on the future stars of collegiate tennis.
More than a tennis event, the JMTA College Recruiting Combine is an arena where ambition meets opportunity; a place where players from across the country come to compete, impress, and connect.
This Combine could not have been possible without the coaches who took the time out of their busy schedules to evaluate these promising athletes. They offered insightful feedback, their valuable time, and, most importantly, the opportunity for these young talents to prove themselves. We'd like to extend our gratitude to each one of them for their participation and commitment.
As we reflect on the success of the 7th Annual JMTA College Tennis Recruiting Combine, we’d also like to take some time to thank our sponsors that played a significant role in shaping this unforgettable experience.
Our partners, UTR Powered by Oracle, deserve a special mention for providing the digital platform that aided us in managing the event. The detailed player profiles and the comprehensive rating system ensured a fair evaluation of all participants.
A special acknowledgement goes to TennisAnalytics for stepping in with their top-tier live-streaming capabilities. Their exceptional service enabled coaches who couldn't attend in person to witness the talent firsthand, ensuring that no swing, serve, and volley was missed.
We’d also like to extend our thanks to the College Planning Alliance for organizing a financial aid seminar on planning and college aid. It proved incredibly beneficial for both athletes and their parents, providing valuable guidance in navigating the complexities of college expenses.
Gold Coast Vision Performance for conducting comprehensive vision testing for all athletes. Their contribution is greatly appreciated as it helped identify potential vision concerns, emphasizing the importance of eye health in sports.
Our thanks also extends to Nike, Head, Solinco, and Penn for providing the players with top-notch tennis equipment. The premium rackets, balls, and other gear ensured that the athletes had everything they needed to perform at their peak.
Each sponsor contributed to the seamless execution of the Combine, elevating the experience for the players, coaches, parents, and everyone else involved. We are thankful for their support, and look forward to continuing these partnerships for future Combines.
The JMTA College Tennis Recruiting Combine's primary objective has always been to facilitate a space where athletes can showcase their skills in front of college coaches, and this year was no different. We can’t wait to see how these athletes progress and are eager to welcome another set of talented players next year.

About the John McEnroe Tennis Academy
In September 2010, tennis legend John McEnroe and SPORTIME partnered to launch the John McEnroe Tennis Academy, in John’s hometown of New York City, at the SPORTIME Randall's Island Tennis Center in Manhattan. SPORTIME Randall's Island is SPORTIME’s flagship location, and the flagship location of the Academy. In September 2012, JMTA expanded to SPORTIME Lake Isle, an 8-court, state-of-the-art, year-round facility in lower Westchester, and to SPORTIME Syosset in central Long Island, an 11-court indoor facility that has long served as SPORTIME’s high performance training center on Long Island. In 2015, JMTA Summer Tennis Training was added in the Hamptons, at SPORTIME Amagansett, SPORTIME’s 34-court, seasonal, outdoor tennis facility in the Town of East Hampton. With the satellite locations, the JMTA brand currently covers 4 sites with a total of 77 tennis courts, serving approximately 1,500 players annually. Learn more: www.sportimeny.com/.jmta.
John's passion and belief is that great players can be developed in urban settings, while still having the opportunity to live at home, pursue their educational goals, and participate in a variety of sports and extracurricular activities. The Academy works to recruit the most talented and the most highly motivated young athletes in the New York Metropolitan area and beyond. Inspired by the vision and presence of Johnny Mac, under the guidance of JMTA Managing Director, Bennett Schlansky, executed daily by Co-Directors Patrick McEnroe and Lawrence Kleger, and featuring an international staff of tennis, athletic training and performance directors and coaches, JMTA delivers a complete on and off-court training program, including mental toughness, sports vision training, video analytics and more, designed to assure the best possible outcome for serious junior players. JMTA’s youngest students, who train with red and orange balls on 36’ and 60’ courts, participate in cutting-edge Mac Red and Mac Orange programs designed by world-renowned U-10 visionary Mike Barrell, now SPORTIME’s Executive Director of Tennis, and executed by SPORTIME/JMTA’s expert U-10 directors and coaches.
