Oakland Youth Tennis
Foundation
The Oakland Youth Tennis Foundation is inspired by the memory of Mark Manning.
On March 29, 2012 we lost a local tennis hero, former USTA NorCal Board Member, Diversity Committee Chair, Junior Council Chair and tireless tennis advocate.
Mark Manning served the Northern California tennis community and the youth in the East Oakland area for over three decades. He was the first African American to be elected as President of the Board of USTA Northern California Section and the first African American to be elected to that position from all of the 17 sections. He was a true trailblazer.
