Vision
Create play opportunities for all by expanding and financially sustaining a hybrid distribution system. USTA Pacific Northwest continues to live its mission-based strategic initiative to revitalize and manage those indoor tennis facilities who reach out; in danger of closing and/or request operational and delivery partnership. Countering the exciting increases in population growth and overall tennis participation, the greatest challenge to the continued growth of tennis in the Pacific Northwest is the staggering lack of indoor tennis courts, particularly those indoor courts that are available to the public. USTA PNW’s facility operations initiatives seek to save indoor courts whenever possible and to partner to advocate for more tennis facility infrastructure. Investing in revitalizing facilities such as Galbraith Tennis Center and Vancouver Tennis Center, USTA PNW continues to address the single greatest challenge of growing the game of tennis specific to the Pacific Northwest: public access to indoor courts for all.
