About Us

It’s the idea that we as humans all make the world a more enjoyable place when we act out of love, for ourselves and for our brothers and sisters everywhere. The brand AD LOVE has its roots in tennis, where "advantage" and “luv” are part of game scoring. Tennis is a wonderful metaphor for life, because when we choose to participate with passion and purpose, our experience is rooted in joy for the game. It matters less whether we win or lose on a particular day, rather what counts is the effort we put into being our best selves. In other words, when we act out of love for ourselves and the game, everybody wins. Advantage Love.
"No one changes the world who isn't obsessed."- Billie Jean King
At AD LOVE, we are obsessed with promoting love through the love we have found in the tennis community.
"From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life"
— Arthur Ashe
AD LOVE wants to help under resourced children enjoy playing the game of tennis, and to help them get the education they need to thrive as successful adults. That’s why we give one dollar for every apparel item and hat sold, and 10% of all profits to our partner tennis non profits: New York Junior Tennis & Learning and Norwalk Grassroots Tennis & Education. NYJTL and NGTE are both part of a network of more than 365 National Junior Tennis & Learning chapters across the United States, all supported in part by the USTA Foundation. The concept for NJTLs? - Created by Arthur Ashe.
This video that AD LOVE produced in partnership with Norwalk Grassroots will show you how they, NYJTL and other NJTL chapters are changing lives every day.
NJTLs represent the very principles that form the idea behind AD LOVE. And that is why we created AD LOVE - to share and promote these principles with people everywhere, and to help support kids in growing to become confident, fulfilled adults.
