About Us
The mission of the USTA/Midwest Section is to "promote, develop and service the game of tennis", focusing on the establishment of competitive, developmental, educational and recreational programs for individuals of all ages and skill levels without regard to race, creed, color or national origin. The USTA/Midwest Section also promotes health, character, fair play, sportsmanship and social responsibility through tennis.
Our goal is to provide successful programs and friendly, courteous service to our 14 District associations, our member organizations and our individual members. Currently, the Indianapolis-based USTA/Midwest Section exceeds 84,000 individual members and 1,000 member organizations. It is the second largest section of the United States Tennis Association, the National Governing Body for tennis in the U.S. The USTA/Midwest Section includes the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and portions of Kentucky and West Virginia.
In 2007, the USTA/Midwest Section launched the Midwest Youth Team Tennis 10 and Under QuickStart Tennis initiative. The program has accomplished just what it set out to do. Introduce a fun new way to play tennis to thousands of kids.
In the first year there were twelve markets that introduced over 1,100 new kids to tennis. In 2008, thirty six markets took advantage of the program introducing close to 3,000 kids to tennis.
