About the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center

The SETLC is a world-class, state-of-the art, premier tennis facility located in Ward 8. The center serves as model for public/private partnerships, sharing resources and talents of the Recreation Wish List Committee (RWLC) and DPR. The crown jewel facility offers tennis programming for residents of all ages. The center has served more than 10,000 District youth by providing tennis instruction, tutoring, life skills, developmental chess, a computer room, a library, educational and personal reinforcement to the District’s youth since 2001. 

Nationally renowned programs such as Robotics, Sew N Know, Blacks in Wax, USTA Arthur Ashe Kids Day and SETLC Summer Camp, empower youth.  The facility is home to the George Washington University Men’s and Women’s Tennis team. SETLC hosts 20 USTA sanctioned tournaments a year and USTA Adult Winter Leagues. SETLC features a Tennis Wing and an Education Wing. SETLC underwent $18 million worth of renovations that were completed in 2015. Phase 2 of the renovations are scheduled soon.
