West Michigan Community Tennis

West Michigan Community Tennis (WMCT) is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to grow the game of tennis through meaningful outreach. We currently have programs at local schools, community parks, and Premier Tennis Center. For local students, we offer after-school programs, summer park programs, and scholarship classes at Premier. WMCT also proudly hosts a monthly tennis and pickleball expo with Special Olympics Michigan, as well as weekly tennis clinics for wheelchair and parastanding athletes. Additionally, our partnership with The Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan and be nice. brings a crucial component of mental health awareness and suicide prevention into our programs. As a chapter of USTA’s National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) program, we offer much more than just tennis classes. Being a part of WMCT and Premier Tennis Center allows you to make an incredible impact on our community!

WMCT Core Values

We value the personal worth of each individual and treat each other with dignity and respect. We will include people with diverse abilities, backgrounds, identities, learning disabilities, and physical limitations.
We believe that many of the lessons learned in tennis - like problem solving, goal setting, perseverance, respect, and determination - will translate into valuable life skills.
Community is at our core. The collaboration of schools, members, local governments, students, volunteers, everyone involved in our programs, local businesses, and foundations will create something greater than we could ever do on our own and a brighter future for our community.
Through tennis, we create opportunities to learn in a fun environment. Eery individual deserves to feel joy, and we recognize that joy is vital for discovering positive youth potential, building relationships, and creating a sense of belonging.
We firmly believe that every person should feel hopeful for their future. We have seen tennis change lives, and we believe that tennis encourages people to dream big and promotes brighter futures.
We strive to recognize and acknowledge the positive in all our relationships and program.
To accomplish serving our community, we will strive to be financially responsible and to be good stewards of our resources.
