Through this program, she provided tennis instruction, tennis balls, rackets, court time, and entry fees for tournaments. Each item exacted cost, an impediment. Her program eliminated that obstacle improving access to what was for many, a financially prohibitive sport. Pyramid conducted an outdoor junior tennis program during the summers at Fred Johnson's Park in Manhattan (150th Street and Seventh Avenue) and indoors at the 369th Armory in Harlem (2366 5th Avenue) during the winters. Through her program, participants learned the game and the discipline required for success on the court, the classroom, and life. Besides the above, she partnered with City College and Columbia University as coach of their respective tennis teams and with Riverbank State Park as a youth tennis instructor. The United States Tennis Association Eastern New York Division acknowledged Myers as a "gamechanger" who promoted tennis throughout the region. The HJTEP converted the drill floor of the 369 Regiment Armory (142nd Stree and 5th Avenue in Harlem) into eight tennis courts serving a wide range of sports enthusiasts. Myers regularly reserved four of those courts to conduct her Pyramid program. In 1985 when the homeless population rose in New York City, and officials decided the drill floor at the armory was the solution, Arvelia's program was in jeopardy. She appealed to the governor and city officials to devise an alternate solution, but that did not occur until David Dinkins was elected mayor. She was forced into activist mode again when the leadership at the armory decided they could increase their revenue by renting the armory to a concessionaire who could generate more funds, again jeopardizing Pyramid Tennis and other tennis programs at the site. Myers organized a coalition named the Friends of Harlem Tennis, educated the community, and pressured politicians and other stakeholders to award the contract to organizations more tennis friendly. The American Tennis Association (ATA) often of Tennis because no other tennis community welcomed them. Many tennis players thrived in this environment and then "crossed over" when officials established outlawed laws banning them. Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe, and Bob Ryland are among the notable few who honed their game on the ATA circuit. Arvelia Myers was another player who competed under the banner of the ATA and elevated her game as a ranked competitor. She maintained her connection to the group and served as a member of the Board of Directors after her competitive days ended. She grew to become protective of the organization and strove to ensure the ATA maintained its vision, value, and commitment to developing junior tennis players.
