The Only Full-Year Tennis Program in the Valley
The YMCA of the Fox Cities is the only YMCA in the Fox Cities valley offering a full-year racquet sports program — and our Valley Tennis Center at the Ogden YMCA is the place to play.

Our updated tennis center features 6 indoor hard courts, a large air-conditioned viewing area, full locker rooms with professional towel service, and an on-site ProShop with re-stringing services. Tennis and pickleball are both available.
