USTA Pacific Northwest Striving to Increase Tennis Accessibility In Four-State Region
As the governing body for the sport of tennis across four states throughout our region, the United States Tennis Association Pacific Northwest promotes and develops the growth of tennis in the Pacific Northwest. Its mission is to inspire heathier people and communities through the growth of the sport.
These days, a large part of the non-profit organization’s work in the Pacific Northwest is focused on increasing accessibility to the sport, breaking down barriers to play such as cost and access to facilities. Recent reports indicate that the Northwest is the fastest growing region for tennis (among 17 regions in the country), growing at nearly three times the national rate over a five-year period. This presents unique challenges and opportunities for an already underserved sport in this part of the country, particularly as it relates to availability and access to indoor and outdoor courts.
