Where are they now, and what are they doing?
Ted Salter is a long-time member of the tennis community, and a pioneer in Oregon and Southern California in his efforts to diversify and increase access to the game of tennis. The Compton native is the Executive Director of Tennis For Kids, a program designed to expose children in Los Angeles to the game of tennis where they may not have had the opportunity before.
Salter’s journey in the sport is a unique and rather unorthodox tale. Salter recounts that he had always had an interest in playing tennis, but never found the opportunity as a child. Salter was a baseball player in high school and found an interest in the sport as his high school baseball team traveled together with the tennis team. “I was a baseball player,” said Salter. “I asked one of my friends ‘are you good?’ He said ‘I’m one of the best.’ I said ‘that must make me Arthur Ashe!’”
