USTA/PNW COMMUNITY TENNIS
Programs, services and resources available to empower your community
 

Community Tennis Development in the USTA Pacific Northwest (USTA/PNW) is dedicated to promoting tennis in all communities throughout the section. We draw from sectional and national funds to help support the efforts being made at the local level. Whether it be tennis programming you'd like to begin at your child's school or courts you'd like to resurface at your local park, the USTA/PNW can help you do it.
 
Please feel free to explore the links listed above. You will read about play opportunities such as QuickStart Tennis, USTA Jr. Team Tennis, USTA School Tennis, wheelchair tennis and adaptive tennis. There is also information to help integrate tennis into your community by becoming a Community Tennis Association or creating a National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) chapter, and resources to help you improve existing or create new tennis courts and facilities.
 
In addition to all of this, education and training is available for new and current recreational coaches as well as support for high school coaches who manage no-cut teams. Community tennis leaders are also invited to take advantage of USTA resources as they are eligible to receive program consultation and development assistance.
 
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about what we have to offer, please consult the USTA Pacific Northwest staff directory for the Community Tennis Consultant in your area. The USTA/PNW staff has collaborated with countless local community tennis leaders to serve and expand existing programs and to pave the way for new partnerships that will sustain tennis for years to come.
