The Barnes Tennis Center is owned and operated by Youth Tennis San Diego, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. It was built in 1995 and completed in 1997. This 4.5 million dollar facility was made possible with generous public and private donations. The Center is named after our lead donor family - the "George E. Barnes Family Junior Tennis Center." The Center is dedicated to the youth of San Diego

. Children 18 and under have court priority over adults with advanced reservations! The capital campaign was spearheaded by Dr. Homer Peabody, Jr.. Youth Tennis San Diego gratefully acknowledges Dr. Peabody's tremendous contribution to make this dream a reality. Today, the Barnes Center serves as one of San Diego's finest jewels, and is a model for several communities throughout the Nation. Tennis Center is home to Youth Tennis San Diego offices, all Youth Tennis San Diego junior tournaments, Barnes Academy tennis programs, After School Tennis - founded by Kathy Chabot Willette special events, adult programs, corporate programs, a library and educational programs including our "Junior Aces" Program for ages 3-5. Come and visit us and see our wall of donors who made the Barnes Center possible. Enjoy a walk around the facility and read the inscriptions on the memorial bricks. We invite you to support the Barnes Center by sponsoring a Brick, Program Scholarship, or with an Annual Giving donation.
