The stewards working hard to build the CITC which will enhance the quality of life in Sioux Falls. Bill Townsend Mary Thompson Mike Mc. Inerney Cindy Huether Matt Johnson Jen Sohre Lou Bosch Jennifer Kirby Keith Thompson

Why is a public indoor tennis facility needed? Quality of Life Winter/Fall public tennis programs are nonexistent Private courts “leave out” many due to expense, lack of availability and exclusionary Colleges/Universities can not compete at higher levels Heavy Demand from public/private school based athletics Short courts, Special Olympics, wheelchair tennis, pickleball expands our reach Tennis is truly a “Sport for Life” Economic Impact Tournaments/Events to bring over $2 million into SF economy Sioux Falls can REGAIN status as top Midwest tennis destination Can capitalize on Division I, Division II college conference tournament opportunities Retain and attract employees
