If you're looking for a tennis program that truly stands out from the rest, Schroeder Tennis is…read morehands down one of the best in the area. Whether you're just starting out, trying to take your game to the next level, or preparing for competitive play, Schroeder offers a comprehensive and enjoyable tennis experience--and much of that excellence can be credited to one of its standout coaches, Brian Dean. Facilities and Atmosphere Right from the start, Schroeder Tennis makes a strong impression. The courts are well-maintained, clean, and in great condition year-round. The facility is welcoming, with a relaxed yet professional vibe that makes players of all ages feel at home. Whether you're playing indoors or outdoors, the environment supports both competitive intensity and fun--perfect for building skills and confidence. Coaching Quality - Brian Dean's Impact Coach Brian Dean is truly the heart and soul of what makes Schroeder Tennis special. His knowledge of the game is top-tier, but what sets him apart is his ability to connect with players. He's encouraging, patient, and incredibly skilled at breaking down complex techniques into something understandable and actionable. Whether he's working with kids, teens, or adults, Brian adapts his coaching style to match each player's needs. Brian has a talent for making every session engaging and productive. He strikes a great balance between drilling fundamentals and allowing room for match play and creativity. His feedback is always constructive--he tells you what to fix, but also what you're doing right, which builds confidence. You walk off the court feeling like you've learned something important every time. Player Development and Results Under Brian's coaching, many players have seen noticeable improvements in a short period of time. Whether it's footwork, serve mechanics, strategy, or mental toughness, Brian helps players develop all aspects of their game. He doesn't just train players to hit better shots--he trains them to think like tennis players. What's even more impressive is how he builds up younger players. For those involved in junior tournaments or school teams, Brian provides the kind of mentorship that helps them thrive both on and off the court. He brings a competitive edge without ever making it feel like a grind. The kids stay motivated, focused, and, most importantly, they enjoy the game.

Brian contributes a lot to this culture--he knows everyone by name, remembers each player's goals, and treats everyone with respect.

Final Thoughts Schroeder Tennis, with Coach Brian Dean leading the way, is one of the most well-rounded, supportive, and skill-building environments you can find for tennis. It's not just a place to play--it's a place to grow, improve, and fall in love with the game. If you're even thinking about getting into tennis or want to take your game further, this is where you want to

This really is a neat place. I came on the first Fri/Sat of the Cinci tennis tournament. It was…read moremy first time here. I had tix for Grandstand one day and the other stadium the other. Parking was free but far away. Fortunately, I am quite mobile and able to walk the distance quickly. I also made note of where I was parked and didn't have trouble finding my car later. The entry process was quick - even Saturday when the gates were busy. Within 15 minutes of entering, I cut my hand badly trying to fill my water bottle at the water fountain. Not sure how it happened, but it did. The first aid people were so kind. I get sick at the sight of blood and am sure I overreacted. They stopped the bleeding and bandaged me so I didn't have to leave to get stitches - although I really should have then or later but never did. It still is not healed. Anyways, as soon as I was bandaged up, I went to find the arena I had tix to. The 2 large stadiums are easy to find and they are actually much smaller than I had expected! I had front row seats the first night and it was really cool. Going to the evening time slot got me 2 matches. I didn't stay for the whole second match as I got nervous finding my car in the dark - so I left when the sun really started to go down. I had back row seats on Saturday - still a really good view. And I was in the shade which helped given the 90 weather. Again, finding my way to my seat was super easy. There were plenty of restrooms and water fountains. I didn't spend a dime while I was there although there were plenty of ways to do so. There were lots of food stands to eat at - and drink station serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. I got 3 matches on Saturday - all big name players. It was a great experience and am so glad I went. I won't go again as I much prefer watching tennis on TV but I have a new appreciation of what goes on at tennis tournaments now.

It was our first time at the Cincinnati Open tennis tournament, and we were there for opening…read moreweekend. We arrived about an hour before the gates opened, and we were parked close to the front my row. It still took us a good 10 or 15 minutes to walk to the gates, at the time we didn't know about the shuttles, and or they hadn't started running. Know before you go that overall there is very little shade anywhere. Even waiting in line to get in you're standing in the straight sun. Once inside, they had a few pavilion areas with booths that had vendors that had a few freebies, like handheld fans, sample bottles of sunscreen, that sort of thing. All the way at the rear of the complex is an immense pro shop, where you can buy virtually every type of clothing, article, hat, sunglasses, and all other types of accessories at much higher than normal prices (although most do sport the Open logo on them.) There is a large open grassy area with dozens of umbrella tables, as well as a selection of tables that do not have any shade. There is a long line of restaurant storefronts that gives you a wide variety of foods to try, such as pizza, gyros, burgers, salads, coffee, etc. Also, tucked along the edges of the various stadiums are small Kroger storefronts where you can buy bottled drinks and snacks, as well as some bars serving alcohol. They even have booths that sell cups of ice - with so many people, no matter how quickly they restock the refrigerated cases, nothing gets a chance to cool down so getting ice is imperative. They have a deal that you pay once and you get free ice refills all day, which is worth it when the temps are in the 90s. There are many available drinking fountains that are also equipped to refill water bottles. You will also see a lot of what appears to be hand sanitizer stands that actually dispense suntan lotion to help prevent sunburn. The stadiums are set up for prime viewing. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. The biggest consideration is how much sun you are willing to handle. There are sections that have permanent shade but you definitely pay more for those seats. Those also come with a more cushioned seat bottom, and little tables in front to hold your drinks, which is a big plus. The stadiums are completely open seating for practice matches, so we enjoyed watching Coco Gauff practice while sitting in the posh seats. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and the landscaping was beautiful. The bathrooms were plentiful and kept very clean. Despite the intense heat, we had a great time and would love to come back. This complex is in a great community, with lots to do within a very short drive. I would highly recommend!

Playing lots of tennis growing up, I played in a lot of tournaments. One of my favorite clubs to go…read moreto--and not just because of its close location--was Queen City Racquet Club. It's really big, it's very nice, and they just run a great club. The club, which opened in 1971, is now known as the Queen City Racquet & Fitness Club as it added a large fitness center, which includes Nautilus machines, free weights, a cardio room, aerobics, and spinning. Queen City's 13 indoor courts is probably second to none in the area, while it's seven outdoor clay courts is great too. Both the indoor and outdoor courts are often home to many tournaments including national and top regional junior events. In 2003 they added Platform Tennis courts (see photos), which is for the Platform Tennis game that is apparently a mix between tennis and racquetball. Although I've never played, I know people who have, and they enjoyed it. Platform tennis is one of the amenities that sets this club apart from most in the area. Queen City has long had a strong tennis program for both juniors and adults. While many of the top juniors in the area now play at Harper's Point or Five Seasons, Queen City has a history of developing top players and continues to run quality programs (clinics, camps, league play, private instruction) for both juniors and adults. I've played in and watched my older brother in many tournaments at Queen City, and the only real criticism I have is the tinted windows that make it seem dark outside (which of course is an extremely minute detail). The 180,000 square foot club also has indoor courts for racquetball and squash, a gym for basketball and volleyball, and an outdoor heated Olympic size pool. Also inside around the main lobby is a great snack bar/café, rooms for ping pong and pool, and nice locker rooms too. Although there has been lots of competition from Harper's over the years, and recently Five Seasons too, the Queen City Racquet Club continues to run successfully and is a great place for tennis and a lot more.

Of course, if you like using the equipment and you don't mind working out in a dungeon, it's tolerable, but pack a flashlight cause it's dark in there. No morning news, they did away with the televisions. Bring your own entertainment. No mirrors. There was only one lady there when I went, plus two teenagers huddled in a corner in the back. I still felt like I was right on top of everyone, as it's very close quarters. One piece of equipment is sitting right beside the next piece, closer than any gym I have ever been to. If you go to the side the equipment used to be on, you will find a bright, open space with windows and weights. If you think you can roll out your mat and do some pilates, you'll be fine, if you like being on display. The room is sparsely furnished with weights or equipment. The staff is still friendly and no doubt it's fine for children, but if you are an older adult, find somewhere else. I did.
