About Us

Established: November 2001

T2 Tennis – Denton Johnson Tennis Corp

Founded in November 2001 by Tina McCall-Waters, Denton Johnson Tennis Corporation (DJTC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting youth through tennis.

DJTC is named in honor of Mr. Denton "Pop" Johnson, who started the tennis program in Eatonville. Tina McCall-Waters, one of his first students, was inspired by his mentorship and his request that each of his proteges give back to the community.

We invite you to connect with Eatonville, Florida’s historic non-profit organization. DJTC continues to give back to the community through the efforts of civic and community leaders who recognized the need for resources for at-risk youth.
