Impact
The Dow Tennis Classic is so much more than tennis - it’s empowering a community! Each year 4,000+ children and young adults learn and grow from their experiences in outreach programs designed just for them.
Pros to Schools / Schools to Matches
Through our partnership with Dow, we bridge the gap between professional tennis and the community by bringing touring pros to local schools and inviting school groups to the Dow Tennis Classic. Students gain a unique opportunity to hear inspiring stories from the pros about pursuing dreams, striving for personal excellence, and embracing cultural diversity, all while experiencing the excitement of world-class tennis firsthand.
USTA Midwest Kids Play Day
High School Play Day
Held on the opening Saturday of tournament week, this program gives high school teams the chance to interact with touring pros and participate in a specialized clinic on strength and flexibility. It offers local high school athletes a valuable glimpse into the skills and dedication required to compete at the next level.
USTA Midwest Kids' Play Day!
This lively event brings children from across the community together to experience tennis in a fun and engaging way. Using the latest QuickStart methods and equipment, our teaching staff introduces youngsters to the game on 10 courts, helping them get active and excited about tennis. It's a memorable opportunity for kids to learn new skills and enjoy the sport in an innovative setting.
We invite you to join the outreach programs through your school or organization or as a volunteer!
