More than tennis.
It's a mindset.

NextGen Tennis is building the future of youth tennis in the US — creating the nation's leading network of year-round youth tennis academies and making high-quality coaching more accessible to every family. Flagship locations in the greater Phoenix area.

We partner with quality indoor and outdoor courts across the valley — from a four-year-old's first red ball to a teenager's first tournament.

Why parents choose NextGen

Faster progress

Small groups mean more reps and quicker improvement. Every player stays busy — nobody's stuck waiting in line.

Built-in confidence

An encouraging environment where kids compete, grow, and actually look forward to coming back each week.

Indoor, ages 4–11

Weatherproof partner courts keep younger players on the red & orange ball pathway year-round — no heat days, no rainouts.

Outdoor, ages 11+

Older players move outside to the full court: match play, fitness, and real prep for high-school tennis and beyond.
