USTA Missouri Valley USTA Premier Facilities
The USTA Premier Facility program, which launched this year, was designed to cultivate a standard of excellence across the tennis industry by recognizing and rewarding best-in-class tennis operators. The inaugural class of Premier Facilities includes 50 of the top tennis facilities across the country.
In order to be eligible for the Premier Facility program, facilities must be a USTA member organization, employ certified teaching professionals and be compliant with the USTA’s Safe Play program.
