Community Tennis

Welcome

The USTA Missouri Valley is committed to promoting tennis at the local level. We offer program grants to help organizations initiate or expand their tennis program activities. Grants may be used to develop organized team leagues for players of all ages, abilities and populations. Priority will be given to those programs that promote and develop the growth of tennis, target new players, link their programs to continuing play opportunities -- including group lessons and organized play programs -- and assist in the development of a local Community Tennis Association.
