Court Sports 4 Life's
Comprehensive Capital Campaign:
Three Initiatives for Pickleball, Tennis & Maintenance
Invest in Public Pickleball & Tennis in Steamboat Springs
Court Sports 4 Life's mission is to enrich the lives of Steamboat Springs, Colorado area residents and visitors of all ages, abilities, and socio-economic groups through pickleball and tennis. We do this by providing premier tennis and pickleball facilities; robust recreational and training programs; and innovative engagement of underserved families, adaptive athletes, seniors, and other social cohorts.
Our capital campaign, begun in 2020, includes three initiatives that embrace both pickleball and tennis, with each initiative essential to fulfilling our mission. More detail can be found on the Steamboat Relishes Pickleball! Expansion Project page and the Courting Love Tennis Center Renewal Project page (coming soon!).
We invite you to be a "Big Dill" and "ace" this campaign by making a pledge to whichever initiative speaks to you! New pledges for both Phase 2 of the Expansion Project and Step 1 of the Courting Love campaign may be spread over three years (2023-2025).
