Our Objectives
Helping to build a strong future for court tennis, while maintaining its core values and preserving its history, the USCTPF acts as a fiduciary partner fostering the growth of the game through several core national programs.
Player Development
Working with multiple constituencies including the various courts, players and professionals, the Foundation supports the development of juniors, elite juniors, women, and top amateur court tennis players.
Courts
From our active project in Charleston SC to the development of the new court at the Westwood Country Club in Vienna VA, the Foundation works alongside committed donors to improve the condition of existing US courts as well as create new courts.
A Little History..
The history of court tennis, or real tennis as it is known abroad, is both colorful and complex. It is a game that has weaved its way through royal life and public courts, from 15th-century monks to Gilded Age splendor to modern day. The sport has the ability to unite generations – bringing players and spectators together for a game that celebrates athleticism and good sportsmanship.
Rooted in tradition, with fascinating rules and an uncommon code of civilized conduct, court tennis fosters a strong sense of community among players and supporters who are committed to the long-term prosperity of the game. The USCTPF serves as a steward for this community, ensuring that the unique qualities of court tennis remain relevant for generations to come.
“We support the foundation because most of our family is involved with the game. The foundation works hard to maintain and promote court tennis - a great organization with terrific leadership!”
