WELCOME!

If we have not yet met, please stop by the tennis center and introduce yourself. I enjoy the opportunity to meet members each day.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been exploring Midland as well as the many offerings at the Tennis Center. From youth programs to tournaments, the Greater Midland Tennis Center is certainly the destination for all things tennis.

For our youngest players, we offer preschool, kindergarten, grades 1 & 2, and grades 3-5 programs. This pathway grows

the foundation of athletic movement, builds character and provides lots of fun! As players progress through our junior program, we focus on building skills and technique as children prepare for future competitive programs.

Instead of letting the kids have all the fun, join in! Adult tennis programs are great way to enjoy a new sport, reconnect with an old hobby or meet new friends on the courts. Our new punch card drop-in program gives you the freedom to pick which classes fit your hectic schedule at any time!

Thank you for welcoming me back to Midland! With your support, the Tennis Center staff and I are looking forward to growing tennis in the Great Lakes Bay Region.

-Steve Cook Tennis Center Executive Director

A LEGACY OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Strengthening our community and the greater world – as well as promoting inclusion and diversity in sport and life – is core to our values. We are grateful for the support of the Great Lakes Bay Region community as we continue our sponsorship of the 31st Annual Dow Tennis Classic.

This exciting event – Michigan’s only professional tennis event – celebrates excellence on the court while also helping area students learn more about the sport of tennis and appreciate the diverse international and cultural backgrounds of the players. Our thanks goes out to the community sponsors and volunteers who make this special event possible.
