Building Kansas City’s public tennis pathway

Help Open the Courts

Join us in building a more accessible and connected tennis community in Kansas City.

Open Courts Initiative, a nonprofit organization in Kansas City, MO, is committed to strengthening Kansas City through a unified, accessible tennis ecosystem - one that activates public courts as year-round community hubs, offers clear and affordable development pathways for all families, and prioritizes growth, skill, and confidence in every player.

Why This Matters

Access to tennis often depends more on opportunity than interest.

Without intentional programming, many individuals never get the chance to start.

Community-based tennis can build confidence, connection, and lifelong opportunity.

Be Part of the Pathway

Open Courts Initiative exists to make tennis more accessible, more welcoming, and more meaningful for families and young players across our community. We believe the sport has the power to build confidence, discipline, and connection—but only if barriers to entry are removed and opportunities are created intentionally. Every program, clinic, and event we run is designed with that goal in mind. As we grow, we remain committed to building something sustainable, community-centered, and focused on long-term impact both on and off the court.
