In 2012 The Goldback Tennis Club started as a simple booster club to help support the Varsity Boys Tennis Team at Newburgh Free Academy High School in Newburgh, NY. It has since evolved into a CTA & NJTL helping to introduce the sport of tennis to hundreds of children in Newburgh and surrounding areas. The success of the club has led to success for our high school team as well. The Varsity Boys Tennis Team, at NFA, have won the Division I team title in six of the last eight years: 2012, 2013 and 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019. In 2013, Jacques Laine and Danny Parris won the Section 9 Doubles Tournament. It was the first Section 9 Tennis title since 2006 for NFA.


In 2017 Troy Steiner and David Salazar won the Section 9 Doubles title; defeating the top seed in the draw to advance to States.


Off the court, the Boys Program is annually recognized by the State of New York for its Scholar Athlete Status. In 2015, thanks to our efforts both on and off the court, we were recognized as the Team Connection Tennis Team of the Year, selected over thousands of other teams around the country.
