The St. Petersburg Tennis Center in Pinellas County, Florida was established in 1928 and was rebuilt in 1934. That clubhouse served tennis well for 70 years, and was replaced in 2009. The center has hosted many major tournaments over the years including the State Closed Junior Championships, the St. Petersburg Masters Professional tournament, and professional women’s events.

In the old clubhouse our Walk of Champions listed over 90 legendary players who have played at the center including Bill Tilden, Jack Kramer, Don Budge, Doris Hart, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Margaret Court, Arthur Ashe, Billy Jean King, and Martina Navratilova. Chris Evert won her first professional title on the stadium courts named in her honor. Over a dozen professional players and well over 100 college players developed their games under such world-renowned tennis coaches as Dan Sullivan and Bill Lufler. The center became known as the Court of Dreams.

Our summer camps and after school programs are a great way for kids to enjoy their time away from home. We invite you to learn more about our summer programs and after school care. Click here to learn more.

    We have been participating in the youth tennis program for almost two years now, and both our boys love it. From after-school programs, to summer camps and tournaments, we have been fortunate to receive excellent coaching and mentoring from all of the staff. We plan to be here for many years to come!

    SPTC is a very friendly, professionally run facility with an impressive tennis history. I joined SPTC last year, have played at several nice facilities in Tampa Bay through league play, and this one is right up there with all the rest. I’ve met some great people, played with great players, and our son has begun lessons in their junior program which is very well instructed by multiple tennis professionals on staff. I’ve been very impressed with the center.

    My tennis coach is David Despard and I would like to highlight on his professionalism and knowledge. I have recently begun in the past year appreciating the sport and I am acquiring my new skills and expertise thanks to David. Is I checked in for the first time, I was greeted with professionalism and a warm smiling face. The energy level at this facility reminds me very much of where I play in Scottsdale. I am very appreciative of this local gym. I highly recommend this facility if you are seeking professional coaching or just to improve your skills on the court. Either way, it is a win – win situation.

    This is quite the tennis facility here in Pinellas. It is an historical place where many of the tennis greats have played sometime in their careers. Additionally, there is a tennis museum filled with memorabilia of local professionals and tennis greats.
    There are 16 green clay courts as well as practice courts which lend themselves to tournaments, children’s programs, leagues and everyday play. With the new Club House facilities, SPTC remains a great place to play tennis, and socialize with friends from around the world.

    I arrived at SPTC after trying many other facilities. The staff are friendly and
    knowledgeable. The teaching pros are excellent and are truly interested in helping improve your game. The courts are the best in the area. I highly recommend anyone to try SPTC you will be glad you did.

    Great facility! Clay courts are always well maintained and available. The coaches have numerous years of knowledge and experience, and are always very patience with the students.
    All the staff members are extremely friendly and helpful. Best tennis facility I have ever been to! I would most undoubtedly recommend the St. Petersburg Tennis Center to anyone looking for a great place to hone their skills, learn tennis as a beginner, or to simply have a hitting session with their friend!

    As a family with 4 children aging from 7 to 3, SPTC is of professional caliber in addressing all the needs of our family in the sport of Tennis(i.e. scheduling, fee’s, accommodations, equipment, etc.). And, yes I have tested the items mentioned formerly. The robust staff of David, Rick, Cari, Janet, Carl and many I am failing to mention treat everyone graciously, providing a welcoming environment to newbies and veterans. As new members to Tennis our children are not mistaken for lack of skillset or experience but rather enthusiasm to play and learn. I have witnessed not only attention to our children but all that wish to endear the game of Tennis. The group practices are made to feel like one on one coaching clinics and it shows with results. The excitement and motivation expressed by all of my children tell the story. Honestly speaking, my goal is for my children to embrace Tennis and cherish the opportunity to learn a fun, athletic and lifelong sport. SPTC is truly rewarding my family as well as giving my children the opportunity to succeed on any level of Tennis, if they choose. Thank you SPTC for making us feel welcome and providing a positive experience.

    They have a great coaching staff and all levels of instruction for kids and adults. The renovated facilities are top notch and the members a great group!
    The children’s classes, are well organized and the children are kept motivated under Coach David’s lead. They’re taught basic skills to advanced, using the latest techniques and create kids who love going to tennis.
    Coach Steve Hill is the best adult doubles teacher I’ve experienced, in my 20 years of recreational playing.

    St. Petersburg Tennis Center is one of the nicest clay court as well as hard court facilities in the area.

    There are friendly people always available for a game of tennis as well as competitive USTA teams available to become involved with on many ability levels.

    We are fortunate to have a high quality of teaching pros at SPTC and a reasonable price for both tennis lessons and membership.

    Our family loves SPTC. After moving to this area, we were fortunate enough to be introduced to this wonderful facility. Because SPTC offers a wide variety of activities (USTA league play, Ultimate Tennis league play, Suncoast doubles, Pinellas Area Women’s Doubles League, men’s drop-in group, Women’s Volley Girls, cardio, kids programs and more), there is always great play available and lots of opportunities to meet new friends.
    The teaching pros are incredibly skilled, patient and encouraging. It’s obvious that they really are passionate about helping players improve and get the most enjoyment out of tennis.

    We are so fortunate in St. Pete to have the Tennis Center. It has long remained a great place for social or competitive tennis, both for kids and adults of ALL ages! I very much appreciate I can have a seasonal membership and then play all the tennis I want. Makes my 6 months here the best!……try private lessons, cardio or clinics

    Lovely facility, well maintained courts and friendly, knowledgeable staff. You can play at any level and at any age here. There are many opportunities to improve your game with clinics, leagues and lessons taught by experienced professionals. Don’t think there are many places in the country where you can get all this for such a reasonable price.

    I love the St. Petersburg Tennis Center. They offer several USTA teams to play on, including mixed doubles, women’s and mens. From age 18-75 you can find a team that caters to your level.
    The staff is very courteous and outgoing and they always make me feel so welcome, even though I live in another county.

    The courts are always in great shape too.

    You can’t go wrong when you decide to play at SPTC.

    St. Petersburg Tennis Center is a terrific club for all levels of tennis players. They have a wonderful and caring staff who are always enthusiastic about increasing the clubs exposure to tennis enthusiasts. With so many championship teams coming out of this club it’s no wonder they attract such great players.
