March 12, 2025


A fun way to try tennis!

 

Tennis is the perfect sport to pick up and start playing—It's safe, easy to learn AND good for you. That's why we're hosting FREE or low-cost tennis events around the Midwest for kids and adults to go out and try tennis.

 

Whether it’s your first time on the court or you’re returning to the game, we welcome you to come out and play tennis. The best part: If you don't have a racquet, one will be provided to you onsite!

 

Let's Tennis!


Get healthy. Play tennis!

Tennis is growing with no slowdown in sight!

The past five years have seen participation in the sport skyrocket: According to the Physical Activity Council’s latest participation report, a whopping 23.8 million Americans served, returned and scored in 2024–compared to 23.8 million in 2023.

 

That means one out of 12 Americans played tennis last year; the highest proportion on record. Nearly 50% of the 1.9 million increase was young people between the ages of 18 and 24. But tennis is for all ages. All skill levels. All zip codes. Singles. Doubles. Newbies. Pros. Everyone. Every background. Every story.

 

So what are you waiting for? Grab a racquet, a ball, a friend and hit your nearest public court.
