JTCC began operating with 40 recruited junior tennis players from the Mid-Atlantic region.

World No. 10Frances Tiafoe often stayed at the center five nights a week, sleeping in a back room with his brother and his father, the center's head of maintenance. Tiafoe attended school and was coached by the staff at the center.[5]
By 2004, JTCC had demonstrated enough success in
junior tennis to earn a designation as a USTA Regional Training Center.[6]
JTCC reached a multi-year agreement with
Fila in 2013. As a result of this agreement, Fila has a shop at JTCC and top JTCC players are provided with Fila apparel for junior tournaments.[7]
In 2013 and 2018, JTCC received the USTA's USA Developmental Program of the Year Award for training youth tennis players.[8]
Since 2009, JTCC has run the GEICO Game On! program, which brings JTCC coaches to inner-city schools and recreation centers to teach at-risk children how to play tennis.[13]
High Performance program
The High Performance program has four components: Full Time, Champs I, Champs II, and Junior Champs.[14] Each group has players between ages 6 and 18, and trains for collegiate recruitment.
School
JTCC uses the
Laurel Springs School as its
distance schooling program.[15] Players in the Full Time High Performance program usually are enrolled in the program to help maximize training time. The school claims[citation needed] that "every student who has graduated from JTCC’s Champions program has earned a
scholarship to a
Division I program or a facilitated acceptance at a
Division III or
Ivy League college or university and/or have pursued careers in professional tennis." There are two teachers that teach in-person and full-time at JTCC.
