Tennis for Everyone, No Membership Required

Whether families are looking to introduce a child to tennis, find a new family activity or sharpen their own game, the USTA Midwest Tennis Center makes tennis accessible and enjoyable. Unlike many traditional clubs, this is a no-membership facility. Players can book a court or sign up for a program.

Chad Docktor, CEO of USTA Midwest, says it best: “The facility is really going to be open for everyone. Anyone who wants to play tennis can play here.”

Programs for Kids, Juniors and Adults

The center offers a wide range of youth programs designed to match kids’ age and skill levels. Beginners can get started with Tennis 101 classes or join a Summer Day Camp, where foundational skills and confidence-building are the focus. Competitive juniors will benefit from the USTA progressive pathway, carefully structured to prepare players for match play and success on the court.

Adults aren’t forgotten either. There are adult clinics, Cardio Tennis sessions and social events to keep players moving and engaged year-round. The center is also a USTA Coaching Education Center, supporting those who want to become certified tennis coaches.
