Milford Indoor Tennis

What Milford Indoor Tennis does

Milford Indoor Tennis is a privately held, family-owned year-round indoor racquet sports facility operating from a single location at 580 Bridgeport Ave, Milford, Connecticut, under the ownership of Frank Lorenzetti since September 2018. The facility comprises 5 hard-court tennis courts and 2 dedicated pickleball courts, with a central viewing lobby, men's and women's locker rooms with showers, convenient parking, and a Reme Halo LED air purification system marketed as a health and safety differentiator. Operating hours run Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 10:00pm and weekends from 8:00am to 6:00pm, and the venue is positioned for easy access via I-95.

The business generates revenue through four primary streams: hourly court rentals ($40-$60/hr depending on advance vs. same-day booking), private lessons with multiple certified professionals ($65-$80 junior, $120-$140 adult), structured junior development programs following the USTA Red/Orange/Green/Yellow Ball progression ($345-$2,860 per session), and recurring adult clinics and leagues. Customer segments span adult recreational players (USTA leagues, social play), juniors from age 5 through high school tournament-level, and pickleball enthusiasts served through clinics, open play, and tournaments. Marketing is community-driven via an active Instagram presence, the company website, and direct phone/email registration.

The company operates as a direct-to-consumer service business with no resellers, no app, no API integrations, and no disclosed institutional investors. It runs an M.I.T. Gives Back initiative committing 5% of club income to a financial assistance fund for tennis families, offers 15% discounts to first responders and frontline healthcare workers, and maintains a partnership with First Serve Bridgeport as a grassroots pipeline. The staff is led by Lorenzetti alongside Director of Development Ryan Bean and a roster of USPTA/PTR-certified tennis and pickleball professionals.
