Welcome to the USTA Facility Services program. Whether you’re just starting out and dreaming of building a state-of-the-art, multi-court tennis facility, you're interested in 36' or 60' tennis, or you just want to figure out how to repair the cracked courts at the local park down the street, you’re in the right place – the USTA is here to help!

How can we help make your tennis facility dream come true? The USTA Facility Services program can offer you and your community assistance with business, development, technical, advocacy and financial resources. In addition, communities are appointed project consultants from the USTA National staff, who deliver personalized support and service to help take your project from dream to reality.

The USTA Tennis Venue + Design Group has partnered with countless organizations, cities and universities around the nation in their quest to grow the sport of tennis. ADVERTISEMENT To view our portfolio and client testimonials, please click here.

Technical

The USTA Facility Services program’s technical team is the best resource we offer communities. With industry leading experience in tennis court/facility construction, our technical team offers everything from concept plans to professional construction document review.

Concept plans are a powerful advocacy tool and help solidify your vision for your project. Our professional construction document review ensures that you and your community are investing in a long-term tennis court solution that will work for you and meets or exceeds industry standards. All of these resources are free of charge to you and your community. 

Our technical team has compiled list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) that can be accessed here.
