Get out and play - Celebrate National Tennis Month this May!

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!

Play tennis!

Get healthy. Play tennis!

MOVE

Tennis improves coordination, agility and balance.

CONNECT

Tennis helps build and keep friendships.

LIVE

Tennis adds nearly 10 years to your life, more than any other sport or activity.

PLAY

Tennis raises self-confidence, relieves stress and lowers tension.

Tennis is boooooooming.

Since 2019, tennis participation in the United States has skyrocketed by 54 percent, bringing nearly 10 million new players to the court. A recent study found that the growth of tennis was driven by more ways to play and more players picking up the sport and sticking with it.

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.
