$55,000 Goal

The Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Complex (STPC) is a public facility operated by Court Sports 4 Life (CS4L). CS4L is a nonprofit established in 2019, to manage the day to day operations of the Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Center, plan for the future of Center, and make courts and activities affordable to Steamboat area visitors and guests.

STPC is nationally acclaimed as a public recreational treasure for its facilities and programs. The new Pickleball Center and to-be-upgraded Tennis Center is already providing everyone with more ways to enjoy quality recreation with family and friends, leading to improved mental and physical health, increased sense of community and, of course, fun!

The facilities expansion project is scheduled to be completed in May 2024, which will bring 12 brand-new indoor pickleball courts to the community to keep up with the extremely high demand. This expansion project is funded entirely through private donations and NO TAX DOLLARS are being used! We also are turning our attention to the Tennis Bubble itself, which needs some improvements, such as a new membrane, improved HVAC system, better lighting and upgraded lobby area. All of these improvements will allow us to increase programs for youth, adults, seniors, under-resourced families, and adaptive athletes. 

The past year has been exemplary, and achievements include the following:

  1. Complex awarded USTA Premier Facility and RSI Facility of the Year
  2. Bill and Loretta Conway, staff leaders of the Complex, were recognized with the USTA's Bud Robineau Award for leadership excellence
  3. Outreach to 3,000 kids in local schools with tennis and pickleball programs
  4. 4,496 new players came to the Complex
  5. 6 outdoor tennis courts rebuilt
  6. 8 new outdoor pickleball courts built
  7. New pickleball building infrastucture complete
  8. 28 parking spaces added
  9. High school tennis teams shine in regional and state competitions

Your donations will help us achieve more with all of these great programs and efforts. Please help us continue making the Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex better than ever before for our entire community!

Mission

Our mission is to enrich the lives of Steamboat Springs, Colorado area residents and visitors of all ages, abilities, and socio-economic groups through pickleball and tennis. We do this by providing premier tennis and pickleball facilities; robust recreational and training programs; and innovative engagement of under-resourced families, adaptive athletes, seniors, and other social cohorts.

Background Statement

Previously owned by the City of Steamboat Springs, the Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Complex has grown tremendously, due in large part to the explosion in pickleball participation. In 2017, two outdoor tennis courts were converted to eight pickleball courts, leading to even greater demand for dedicated indoor pickleball courts for cold weather and tournament use.

In October 2019, the Court Sports for Life Foundation (CS4L) was founded with City approval to raise funds for and to build a new indoor Pickleball Center, after which CS4L would take over the operation and maintenance of the entire Tennis & Pickleball Complex. Phase 1 of the expansion project was completed in 2022, resulting in the facilities improvements listed above. Phase 2, constructing the new Pickleball Center (picture at the top of this page), is expected to add 12 indoor pickleball courts by May 2024!
