Tennis · The Athlete Group
One tennis family. Two ways to play.
Tennis at The Athlete Group has two sides. A community club that belongs to its town, open to juniors, adults and families. And TAG Tennis, our high-performance training ground for competitive players. Here is how they work together, and which one is right for you.
How tennis works at The Athlete Group
A club for every community. One standard for performance.
Every community we serve gets its own tennis club, with its own name and identity, built for the people who live there. In Melissa, that club is MAC Tennis: the Melissa Tennis Club. It is where families start, juniors learn the game and adults play, train and compete together.
TAG Tennis is our high-performance brand. Wherever The Athlete Group goes, TAG Tennis comes with us, bringing the same coaches’ standard, the same method and the same level of training: an individual plan for every player, built on tennis, tennis performance and recovery.
As we grow into new communities, each one will have a club of its own, named for that community. TAG Tennis stays TAG Tennis, and gives every club’s most driven players a path to the next level.
The two paths
Same love for the game. Different goals.
