net a healthy body and hearty competition
We didn’t invent tennis in Little Rock but sometimes it does sort of feel that way. We introduced our city’s first indoor tennis courts many years ago and haven’t relinquished our pursuit of creating the best environment for this timeless sport, since. Today we offer indoor, outdoor and clay play for leagues, lessons, USTA team, juniors and more.
youth tennis
Our Tennis Academy uses racquets, balls and courts that are the right size for kids so they can enjoy the game from the start. That, plus training from a great group of coaches who are passionate about the game and love working with kids, makes our youth tennis program like no other.
usta league tennis
So as to avoid confusion with our Club league play, we call USTA leagues “team tennis” around here and we have lots of it. It works like this. Volunteer team captains find players to join their teams. (Be sure and spread the word if you are interested!) Then captains register their teams with the Arkansas Tennis Association (ATA) declaring a home club. Once the teams are finalized, the ATA will either assign match times (these can be adjusted by captains if need be) or ask the captains to schedule with each other.
Where court reservations for team matches are concerned, we are happy to book in advance at both Athletic and Racquet but this must be done through our League Coordinator, Sharon Northern. Please note, we ask that captains be a member of one of our Clubs and that 50% of your team be members in order to declare Athletic or Racquet as your home club. For more information, please…
And one final note... being a captain is a labor of love and we appreciate all of you that step up and do it!
Need your racquet strung? Drop it off at the Pro Shop at Athletic or the Desk at Racquet.
court reservations
Only members may reserve courts. When reserving courts which may be done up to three days in advance, you cannot reserve more than one court at a time and may not reserve back-to-back time slots. Reserved courts will be opened to other members if no player on the reservation is present 15 minutes after the start of the reserved time. Courts must be canceled three hours prior to the reserved court time to avoid a no show fee.
