Southeast Tennis and Learning Center

Southeast Tennis and Learning Center

Southeast Tennis and Learning Center (SETLC) sits in Ward 8 on Mississippi Avenue SE, operated by DC's Department of Parks and Recreation. The 48,000 sq ft indoor facility plus outdoor courts make it one of DC's largest public tennis venues east of the Anacostia. Programming blends tennis with academic and life-skills enrichment.

Experience

SETLC's tennis-plus-education model parallels WTEF on the east side of the river - kids leave with tennis skills and academic support. Indoor courts run year-round, removing weather as a barrier. Public-facility pricing keeps the program broadly accessible across Ward 7 and Ward 8 families.
