Facts about tennis in Chicago, IL

With the nickname “The Windy City”, Chicago may not seem like the best place to play tennis. Fortunately however, Chicago not only has various amazing public courts but also just as many qualified coaches who you can book lessons with. As Chicago residents know, the city is a magical place in the summer. When the weather is nice, take advantage of it and sign up for tennis lessons. Even when the weather starts to turn, head inside to one of the many indoor court locations and continue to work with your tennis coach.

No matter where in Chicago you live there is a court location with your name on it. In the Chicago Loop there are picturesque urban locations like Maggie Daley Park and Grant Park that residents and tourists can alike appreciate. Further north there are locations such as the lakeside Lincoln Park Waveland Tennis Courts or the more lowkey Oz Park courts. Further south, one of the most popular locations is McGuane Park Tennis Courts. Chicago of course has indoor court locations such as McFetridge Sports Center and the XS tennis center that are not only perfect in the winter, but reasonably priced.

Chicago MTL tennis coaches structure lessons in a way so there’s something for everyone. You’ll find coaches who can patiently walk you or a child through the basics during the course of a 6-hour package. There are also coaches who have played or coached at the highest level who can turn an intermediate player into an advanced one over the course of 20-hours of lessons. We suggest you take the time to not only review the coaches proximity to you and your Chicago neighborhood, but also their qualifications and subsequent pricing.
