Adult Programs

Adult tennis lessons and leagues have been an integral part of MTEF. Milwaukee is home to 235 public outdoor tennis courts that are controlled by two organizations – MPS Department of Recreation and Community Service and Milwaukee County Parks. These outdoor courts are either at schools or in the city and county parks.
Participants come in all ages and ability levels. They range from people getting back into the game and wanting to start playing by brushing up on their skills to beginners who have never played, but have always wanted to try the sport of tennis.

For some people, the lessons offer an opportunity to continue practicing between league matches, but for others, the casual and fun-oriented lessons are a great transition back into a game they played as children.
The tennis instructors are hired and trained by MTEF. At the end of each six-week class, the goal for the instructors is that every student has enjoyed the experience and learned enough to keep playing outside of class. Tennis is a lifetime sport. By offering lessons and leagues we hope to make tennis accessible to everyone.
The MTEF Tennis Ball

“Signing Charlee up for MTEF is one of the best things that has happened to her,” stated Charlee’s mom, Vanessa Goodman. “The First Serve program has improved Charlee’s self-esteem, confidence, and social skills, not to mention how much her tennis has improved.”
