Tennis starts in the public parks. One of the reasons Florida is the home of tennis in the US is that we have great public tennis parks, and many of them are available for free or at a very low cost. However, many of our courts are decades old, and we don’t have enough of them. We need more funds to repair, renovate and/or build courts. And cities also need help providing services on those courts.
How We Can Help
We can deliver FREE management assessments to cities, help with capital plans and court renovations, provide funds, and answer tough questions about staffing and program support. As a non-profit ourselves, we understand the challenges cities face. We are here to support you.
USTA Florida offers funding and resources to help cities and developers invest in tennis infrastructure and make it work better. For the last seven years, we’ve managed public tennis centers in four different cities in Florida. And our Board leaders have decades of experience in Florida tennis.
