Youth Guidance Mentoring Academy is pleased to announce the return of the highly anticipated 2026 King of the Hill Tennis Tournament, recognized by WorldTennis Magazine as “One of the Best Local Tennis Events.” This high-energy, six-week competition brings together some of the finest tennis professionals from across the Treasure Coast and will once again take place at The Boulevard Tennis Club.

Now entering its 31st year, the King of the Hill has become a beloved community tradition, drawing hundreds of spectators for fast-paced, competitive play in a welcoming, family-friendly environment. Since its inception in 1996, the tournament has raised an impressive $735,000 to support Youth Guidance’s mission of empowering local youth through hands-on learning, mentoring, and enrichment programs.

Local businesses, organizations, and individuals are invited to become sponsors and help sustain the positive impact of the tournament. Sponsorship directly supports Youth Guidance’s free, year-round programs including workforce development, life skills, and academic enrichment that equip young people with the tools they need to succeed.

Matches occur every Thursday at 6PM at The Boulevard Tennis Club located at 1620 Blvd Village Ln, Vero Beach, FL 32967 from January 15th to February 19th, 2026. Spectators are encouraged to arrive early for seating.
