Our Mission
Our mission is to expand access to platform tennis by creating high-quality public courts that welcome players of all backgrounds, ages and skill levels. We aim to connect siloed paddle communities in Maine, fostering connection and a shared love for the game. Our outdoor winter sport embodies the grit and spirit of the Maine community.
Maine Platform Tennis Focus Areas
Building Local Support
At Maine Platform Tennis Association, we prioritize a strong & vibrant community by creating public courts that are open to players of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels.
High-Quality Public Courts
We are dedicated to providing top-notch platform tennis facilities that enhance the playing experience for all. Our commitment to quality ensures that our courts are maintained to the highest standards, offering an exceptional environment for both casual and competitive play.
Connecting Paddle Communities
Our mission is to bridge the gap between isolated paddle communities across Maine. By fostering connections and encouraging interaction among players, we create a cohesive network that shares a passion for platform tennis, leading to lasting friendships and a stronger community.
Public Platform Tennis Court Development
There is no better place to grow an outdoor winter racket sport than in Maine. However, there are limited paddle tennis courts (just 10 in the entire state, most of which are private!) and as a result, limited opportunities for people to learn and to become involved in the game.
League Play and Community Growth
Building new public access courts, and connecting the existing paddle tennis players to each other will facilitate growth of our community. There is no better way to accomplish this than through the creation of the Maine Paddle Flex League (MPFL) starting in the Fall of 2025.
The Maine Platform Tennis Association is dedicated to making the game accessible to everyone across the state. Our mission is to create high-quality public courts that invite players of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. By bridging the gaps among paddle communities, we aim to foster a spirit of inclusivity and connection. We believe in the power of sport to bring people together, and we are committed to nurturing a shared love for the game throughout Maine. Join us in our journey to connect, play, and grow as a vibrant paddle community.
