We didn’t invent tennis in Little Rock but sometimes it does sort of feel that way. We introduced our city’s first indoor tennis courts many years ago and haven’t relinquished our pursuit of creating the best environment for this timeless sport, since. Today we offer indoor, outdoor and clay play for leagues, lessons, USTA team, juniors and more.
Ready for a heart pumping, high intensity class that burns huge calories while playing games? Then welcome to Orange Ball Mayhem! Minimal tennis experience? No big deal! The ball that is used is softer, slower and much easier to hit than a traditional tennis ball. Athletes of all levels can play together and everyone has fun in this complimentary class.
Athletic Indoor Courts | Weekdays | 11:45 - 12:45 pm
Racquet Indoor Courts | Wednesdays and Fridays | 1:00 - 2:00 pm
So as to avoid confusion with our Club league play, we call USTA leagues “team tennis” around here and we have lots of it. It works like this. Volunteer team captains find players to join their teams. (Be sure and spread the word if you are interested!) Then captains register their teams with the Arkansas Tennis Association (ATA) declaring a home club. Once the teams are finalized, the ATA will either assign match times (these can be adjusted by captains if need be) or ask the captains to schedule with each other.
Where court reservations for team matches are concerned, we are happy to book in advance at both Athletic and Racquet but this must be done through our League Coordinator, Sharon Northern. Please note, we ask that captains be a member of one of our Clubs and that 50% of your team be members in order to declare Athletic or Racquet as your home club. For more information, please…
And one final note... being a captain is a labor of love and we appreciate all of you that step up and do it!
