1994
Since its founding in 1994, the USCTPF has helped to strengthen the game in the U.S. The Foundation has successfully supported the building of new courts (including Prince’s Court near Washington, D.C. – the first U.S. court built since 1923, and its replacement court at Westwood CC in Vienna VA), restoration of historic facilities (including the Boston, Newport and Philadelphia courts), and rejuvenation of under-utilized courts through new programs and operational guidance (most notably, Georgian Court University).
In 2014, the Foundation and the USCTA launched a comprehensive program to develop and improve the state of play among amateur players of all stripes, including juniors, women and topflight players. The USCTPF has provided funding for the development of many new players, a number of whom have gone on to compete at high levels, even the World’s Championship.
Providing funding for important concerns, such as the maintenance of a comprehensive online handicap system (Real Tennis Online), the Foundation plays a role in keeping both players and supporters engaged and informed. Additionally, the Foundation promotes international play to provide players with opportunities to elevate their game and develop relationships at courts around the world.
These efforts are essential components of the Foundation’s mission to preserve and expand court tennis in the U.S. While fruitful, the programs require a significant commitment of resources from the Foundation and our donor base. The ability to continue these programs depends on the ongoing generous support of the court tennis community.
