Tennis Clubs in Reno
Reno is the tennis capital of Northern Nevada — and, unusually for a city of its size in a four-season climate, it currently has no indoor tennis at all. The Lakeridge Tennis Club closed and its indoor courts were demolished, leaving even the University of Nevada’s Division I teams without covered courts anywhere in the city. The on-campus McArthur Tennis Center, opened in 2016, is outdoor only.
That gap is now a live civic question. Washoe County is rewriting the master plan for Rancho San Rafael Regional Park — its first full review since 1990 — and Nevada Athletics has asked Wolf Pack supporters to back a community indoor tennis facility there. In the meantime, the public game runs on the Reno Tennis Center’s ten lighted hardcourts on Plumas Street, open year-round, bookable online, with lessons, stringing and ball machines on site.
Highlighted Events
A campaign to restore indoor tennis, Mountain West play on campus, and year-round public courts.
The Campaign for Indoor Tennis
Washoe County is updating the master plan for Rancho San Rafael — its first comprehensive rethink since 1990 — and Nevada Athletics has asked Wolf Pack supporters to back a community indoor tennis facility on the site. Nothing is decided, but this is the live question in Reno tennis.
Reno Invitational
The Wolf Pack host their own autumn invitational on campus each September, one of the few college tennis events staged in Northern Nevada.
Mountain West Tennis
Nevada plays Mountain West men’s and women’s tennis at McArthur, including the Silver State Series against UNLV. Both Nevada universities stayed in the conference through the 2026 realignment.
Year-Round Public Play
Ten lighted hardcourts on Plumas Street, open play and bookable through CourtReserve, with lessons, racquet stringing and ball machines available. Lighting extends play into the darker months.

Before you go — plan around the weather, because you cannot go indoors. Reno has a genuine winter and no indoor courts, so the Reno Tennis Center is the year-round answer: ten lighted hardcourts, open play, and booking through CourtReserve, which is worth using in the shoulder seasons. Note a discrepancy in the city’s own listings — one page says ten courts and another sixteen; ten appears current following a partial pickleball conversion, but confirm if court numbers matter to you. Lakeridge is listed only for reference: it is closed and its indoor courts were demolished.

One municipal centre carries most of the region’s coaching, with Division I tennis on campus a few minutes north.

Competitive Adult Tennis
Reno anchors the northern half of USTA Nevada, the state’s district within USTA Intermountain, with district champions advancing to Sectionals and toward League Nationals. The practical constraint is the one thing southern Nevada never faces: there are no indoor courts, so the league calendar is shaped by a real winter. Lighting at the Reno Tennis Center extends play into the darker months, but it does not replace a roof. Representative leagues, tournaments and clinics below.

Did You Know?
A Division I programme with nowhere to shelter, and a state split down the middle. Two highlights:
Nevada’s Division I teams have no indoor courts — anywhere. Since the Lakeridge Tennis Club closed and its indoor courts were demolished, the Wolf Pack have had no covered facility on campus or off, in a city with real winters. The McArthur Tennis Center, built in 2016, is outdoor only. Washoe County’s Rancho San Rafael master plan review — the first since 1990 — is now the focus of a campaign to change that.
Nevada is really two tennis states. Reno and Las Vegas are 440 miles apart and share almost nothing but a conference. The south plays outdoors year-round and retreats from summer heat; the north has a four-season climate, a shorter outdoor window and, at present, nowhere indoor to go. Same state, opposite problems.
College Tennis in Reno
Northern Nevada’s only Division I programme — and the reason indoor courts are back on the agenda.
Nevada Wolf Pack
RenoNCAA Division I · Mountain West · Men’s and women’s tennis at the McArthur Tennis Center, which opened on campus in 2016 — and is outdoor only. Since the Lakeridge Tennis Club’s indoor courts were demolished, the Wolf Pack have had no access to indoor courts anywhere in the city, on or off campus. Nevada also remained in the Mountain West through the 2026 realignment, when five schools left for the Pac-12. Men | Women
UNLV Rebels
Las VegasNCAA Division I · Mountain West · The in-state rival 440 miles south and the other half of the Silver State Series. UNLV rejected a Pac-12 offer in 2026 to stay in the Mountain West — a conference now headquartered in Las Vegas. Covered on our Las Vegas guide.
The Silver State Series is a 440-mile fixture. Nevada against UNLV is the in-state rivalry, and after the 2026 realignment — when Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State all left for the Pac-12 — both Nevada universities remain in the Mountain West, which now runs its operations from Las Vegas. So the two programmes are more central to their conference than they were, while sitting further apart than almost any other pair in it.
Reno & Truckee Meadows High School Tennis

Truckee & South Tahoe
NIAA 3A · SierraThe Sierra programmes that dominate northern 3A tennis — and which beat Boulder City in the 2024 state finals at the Tahoe Donner Tennis Center.
An autumn season in a mountain climate. Nevada runs both high school tennis seasons in the autumn, which suits the south but means Reno-area programmes finish their year as the Sierra weather turns — with no indoor courts to fall back on. The northern classifications also include the Sierra schools Truckee and South Tahoe, which have dominated 3A and beat Boulder City in both 2024 state finals at the Tahoe Donner Tennis Center.
This list is a starting point. Individual classifications and recent results were not verified for this build; confirm with the schools or the NIAA before the season.
