IF Tennis Academy (Idaho Falls)
Junior and kids camps, adult clinics and evening game nights, with professional coaching for players of all ages and levels.
Tennis in the Upper Snake River Valley is built around community courts, a strong high-school scene and — crucially, at roughly 4,700 feet of elevation — indoor play. Idaho Falls is the hub, anchored by Club Apple, the only multi-court indoor tennis facility in the city, with five courts open year-round. Tennis here runs through USTA Intermountain — specifically its Idaho district, the Idaho Tennis Association — rather than USTA Pacific Northwest to the north. The nearest college tennis is Idaho State in Pocatello; Rexburg’s BYU-Idaho, formerly Ricks College, dropped intercollegiate athletics in 2000 in favor of a large activities program.
Whether you are looking for competitive tournaments, organized doubles leagues, private lessons, junior summer camps or weekly clinics, Idaho Falls, Ammon, Rexburg and the surrounding valley offer indoor courts through winter and public and club courts through the warmer months.

Common questions about clubs, leagues, junior programs and year-round play across Eastern Idaho.
Idaho Falls is the regional hub. Club Apple is the only multi-court indoor tennis facility in the city — five courts open for year-round play, leagues and lessons — and the IF Tennis Academy runs clinics and camps. Public courts are available at Tautphaus, Riverside and Sunnyside parks, with the Idaho Falls Community Tennis Association connecting local players. Ammon offers courts at Ammon City Park, Rexburg has the Rexburg Tennis Club, and Pocatello to the south adds Idaho State University, the Pocatello Racquet Club and Juniper Hills Country Club. Because the valley sits at high elevation, indoor courts are a year-round mainstay.
Unlike the Idaho Panhandle and North Central Idaho, which fall under USTA Pacific Northwest, Eastern Idaho is part of USTA Intermountain — specifically its Idaho district, run by the Idaho Tennis Association. That district covers the Treasure Valley, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, the Magic Valley, McCall and Sun Valley. League teams advance from local play to the Idaho District Championships and on to USTA Intermountain Sectionals and Nationals.
The nearest college program is Idaho State University in Pocatello, about 50 miles south, which fields NCAA Division I men’s and women’s tennis in the Big Sky Conference. BYU-Idaho in Rexburg — formerly Ricks College — discontinued intercollegiate athletics in 2000 and now runs a large student activities and intramural program that includes tennis rather than a varsity team. College of Eastern Idaho in Idaho Falls is a two-year college and does not field varsity tennis.

High school tennis is governed by the IHSAA and played in the spring, with boys’ and girls’ singles and doubles plus a distinctive mixed-doubles event, across classifications 6A–1A. The Idaho Falls–Ammon and Upper Snake River Valley schools compete in District 6, while the Pocatello and Chubbuck programs to the south sit in the neighboring Southeast Idaho district (District 5); the district tournaments feed the state championships. The area has a deep, competitive scene, with Idaho Falls, Skyline, Hillcrest, Bonneville, Thunder Ridge and Rexburg’s Madison among the programs that regularly contend.
No. Idaho Falls sits at roughly 4,700 feet with a high-desert climate — cold, snowy winters and short, warm summers. Outdoor play runs from late spring into early fall, while the winter months move indoors. Club Apple’s five heated indoor courts are the valley’s main option for league, junior and tournament tennis once the weather turns.
