USTA Northern Arizona

06/03/2026

What a fantastic weekend celebrating National Tennis Month and USTA's Hit to Be Fit events across Northern Arizona! Participants enjoyed high-energy Cardio Tennis sessions designed to showcase tennis as a fun, social, and healthy activity for players of all ages and abilities.

Despite some challenging wind, the enthusiasm never slowed down!

✅ Prescott – 12 participants at Prescott High School

✅ Flagstaff – 13 participants at Thorpe Park

✅ Sedona – 15 participants at Outbound Sedona Resort

A total of 40 players joined us across the three communities, including several people who were making their comeback to tennis and trying Cardio Tennis for the first time. The windy conditions added an extra challenge, but everyone brought great energy, smiles, and a willingness to get moving.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate National Tennis Month and discover why tennis is one of the best ways to stay active, meet new people, and have fun. Special thanks to our sponsor, Oxendale Auto Group, for helping make these events possible!

Let’s go Kim! We love to see her running experience used now to chase down a fuzzy yellow ball 🎾

Former American Olympic runner Kim Conley took up tennis about a year ago, and plans to go the distance with her new addiction.

A recent site visit to the White Mountains confirmed a significant growth in local tennis interest, despite many courts being transitioned to pickleball. The area currently supports over 20 tennis courts spread across four major clubs, HOA facilities, and recreation areas.
Key highlights from the trip include:
Facility Tours: Site visits were conducted at Pinetop Country Club and Torreon.
Local Engagement: A presentation was delivered to approximately 30 local players at Pinetop CC, covering USTA programming and technical demonstrations of the Flex League application.
Professional Outreach: Discussions were held with local teaching professionals, including Michelle at Pinetop CC, regarding the introduction of Redball programming.
Flex League Registration: The inaugural White Mountain Flex League has already secured 34 registered players, with a final goal of reaching 40 participants. https://www.usta.com/en/home/play/usta-apps/usta-flex-tennis.html
White Mountain Flex League Launch
The White Mountain Flex League is set to officially kick off at the beginning of next week. This initiative, spearheaded by local advocate Jill Rich, aims to connect vacationers and residents across various small clubs and communities during the summer months. The league features ladies', men's, and mixed doubles categories. Please contact Jill at 602-359-9855 for play opportunities in the area.
Future Programming Goals
Following the successful launch of the Flex League, the region is looking to expand into several other programming areas:
Redball Socials: Building on initial interest from local pros.
Tri-Level Leagues: Potential implementation based on the progress of the summer flex season.
Area Socials: Targeted events to continue building camaraderie among the split club memberships.

Great seeing the Summer USTA Flex League for the White Mountain Arizona area (Show Low, Pine Top) coming to fruition. Aweome work getting this started by our community and volunteer Jill Rich. We're jealous about getting to play tennis in those cool climes!
