Milwaukee Tennis & Education Foundation (MTEF)

Camp starts Monday, and we're excited to introduce the team helping lead MTEF Summer 2026!

From supporting coaches and campers to solving problems behind the scenes, these leaders help ensure every child has a safe, positive, and fun experience on and off the court.

Whether you're joining us at Dineen, Brown Deer, Rainbow, Zablocki, or Adventure Camp, you'll likely see these familiar faces throughout the summer.

A couple weeks ago, before we wrapped up the TEAM season, we held a fun mini-tournament for our Volley, Ace, and Slice groups!

It was so exciting to watch the kids put the skills they’ve been working on all year into action during some friendly competition. From serves and rallies to sportsmanship and perseverance, there was so much growth on display throughout the day. 💚

At MTEF, we focus on fun, learning, confidence, and development on and off the court — and it’s always rewarding to see players gain the confidence to step onto the court and compete.

We recognized top finishers in each group, but every player walked away with a treat for participating because we’re proud of every athlete who stepped on the court and gave it their best effort.

A couple weeks ago, the amazing team at – Lake Country hosted a Pro-Am event benefiting MTEF, and we’re still smiling about what a fun and special evening it was.

A huge thank you to all of the tennis pros who donated their time, talent, and energy, and to all of the players who bid on and won the opportunity to play alongside them. The courts were full of great tennis, laughter, competition, and community spirit all night long. 💚

The funds raised from the event will go a long way in supporting MTEF youth programming as we get ready to kick off another summer of camps, lessons, and opportunities for Milwaukee kids.

We truly love our friends at WAC and are so thankful for your continued support of our mission. 🎾💙

Throwback to last Saturday… when Dineen Park was FULL of energy, activity, and community fun!

More than 100 people joined us for our first Community Play Day, and it was such a special afternoon. Families played tennis and basketball, cooled off with Kona Ice, created art projects, and simply enjoyed being in the park.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible:
🏀 for bringing the basketball fun
📺 TMJ4 News and Lauren Larsen for covering and sharing the story
🌳 Dineen Park Neighborhood Association for their support
💚Milwaukee County Parks for the amazing year round partnership

This is what community is all about. 🎾💙

TEAM School year program: officially wrapped. 🎾🍕

We hosted our end-of-year tennis and pizza party tonight, and despite the cooler temps, the courts were absolutely on fire. So much energy, laughter, great tennis, and community all packed into one evening.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out. The kids are what make this program so special, and we are so grateful to be able to do what we do each year.

And of course, a big shoutout to our incredible coaches for everything they pour into this program.

Check out this group pic featuring just some of the awesome kids we have the privilege of working with. 💙🎾
