Mother Nature is frowning heavily on our scheduling of the 2026 Thiessen Memorial Tournament - this weekend's forecast contains much rain. As a result, we have decided to postpone the tournament until June 12 - 14. We hope you will be able to participate that weekend, but we know there will be some schedule conflicts. Please let us know if you want your entry fee returned, and we will make arrangements to do so. More details will be forthcoming. Thank you for your support of Kern County youth.

BAKERSFIELD RECOGNIZED AS USTA SOCAL'S FIRST TENNIS TOWN!
Our tennis community and tradition were recognized in a brief ceremony on BRC's center court during the BTOpen. Trevor Kronemann, SCTA Executive Director, presented an award to local leaders recognizing Bakersfield as its inaugural Tennis Town. Receiving the award on behalf of our tennis community were Mayor Karen Goh, Tracy Burrell, Hank Pfister, Mark Fredriksz, Zach Gomez, Dave Krueger, and Robert Limpias. In response, Mayor Goh issued a proclamation declaring March 17 - 23 to be Bakersfield Loves Tennis Week. Learn more by clicking on the links to read the article, proclamation, or watch the video.
