Yes. The area is part of USTA Intermountain through the Idaho Tennis Association, which runs a dedicated Pocatello program of adult leagues, junior clinics and sanctioned tournaments. Pocatello Parks & Recreation supports public-court play, and Tennis Circuits® also provides tournaments, doubles leagues and match play across Southeast Idaho.

Indoor tennis is limited for the public in the Pocatello area; Idaho State’s Reed Gym courts host the Bengals’ matches, and most community play is on outdoor park and school courts. The nearest large indoor clubs are in Idaho Falls, about 50 miles north, which is useful for winter play in Southeast Idaho’s four-season climate.
