In 2022 we began partnering with the University of Findlay to bring more quality tennis programs to the Findlay Family YMCA. This partnership provides our members with greater access to tennis programming and resources and creates a stronger connection to the local university.
The East Branch offers a tennis center with five indoor tennis and pickleball courts and full locker rooms.
Our tennis center offers court time/rental, youth tennis programs, adult tennis programs, pickleball, and private tennis lessons.
Members can reserve courts for up to 2 hours in person or online two days in advance. The fees for reserving a court depend on peak usage times (5-9 p.m. Monday through Friday). They are: two hours - $48 during peak times, $28 all other times; 1.5 hours - $36 during peak times, $21 all other times; 1 hour - $24 during peak times, $14 all other times; and half hour - $12 during peak times, $7 all other times.
Reservations may be made up to 48 hours in advance, and can range in increments of 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.
Learn how to make a court reservation below.
Alternatively, members can walk on to open courts at any time. Keep in mind that if you are a walk-on, there is no guarantee that you will get a court. Walk-on time is limited to 90 minutes.
On Sept. 13, 2025, we switched to our registration platform, Amilia, for tennis and pickleball court reservations! Court reservations can be either in person at the Downtown or East branches, or online; the registration page menu includes a "court reservations" tab.
Types of reservations include walk-on, permanent, and daily.
We think you'll like this updated system that'll literally keep you on the ball! To help you ace the new registration process, you can:
