Little Tennis Libraries

Making Tennis Fun For All!

Tennis should be easy to try. That's the whole idea behind MTEF's Little Tennis Libraries.

You've seen the book libraries around town. This works the same way, just with racquets instead of paperbacks. We've put bins at tennis courts across Milwaukee, each one stocked with racquets, balls, and everything you need to know to get started. Borrow what you need, play, then return it to the bin for the next person. No sign-up, no fee, no experience necessary.

Look for the libraries from early May through early October, weather permitting.

Already played? Welcome!

We hope you had a blast out there. Snap a photo, post it, and tag us. Nothing makes our day like seeing new players on the court.
