Kings County Tennis League, Inc. (KCTL), a sports-based youth development non-profit, announces that Dave Webley, due to family relocation, will transition from KCTL’s Executive Director to an Advisory role within the organization. As a result, KCTL has instituted a search for a new Executive Director to lead the organization and further its mission of providing free, year-round tennis and educational programs in and around Brooklyn public housing.
Information about the leadership change and inquiries for application can be accessed via this announcement at: kingscountytennisleague.org/job-openings.
“It is with profound gratitude that we announce that Dave will take an advisory role and transition from KCTL’s Executive Director,” said Michael McCasland, founder of Kings County Tennis League. “KCTL continues to grow and mature as an organization, and our Board and staff are excited to start this next chapter with an experienced and dynamic leader.”
Dave joined KCTL as a volunteer in 2016 and quickly ascended to Program Manager, before becoming our first full-time Executive Director in 2019. Most recently, Dave developed a new strategic plan with the Board of Directors and staff, established important strategic partnerships, and helped improve and stabilize operations and organizational processes.
“It has been such an incredible journey with all of you, since my first day volunteering in 2016 when I met a young Nour Soudani, to now, when I see so many students committed to our program and growing up together. I have felt closely connected to the organization from Day One and I’m sure that will never change, even when we are no longer living in Brooklyn,” said Dave Webley.
Kings County Tennis League (KCTL) combines tennis and education to spark the potential of children. Founded in 2010, KCTL provides free, year-round tennis and educational programs to over 200 students living in and around six housing developments in Brooklyn. KCTL delivers programming directly to the community and renovates unused play areas to create safe spaces for children to learn and play tennis.
