Yorkville Tennis Club

What Yorkville Tennis Club does

Yorkville Tennis Club is a privately held indoor tennis facility founded in 1993, operating from the 3rd-floor rooftop of a doorman residential building at 1725 York Avenue on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The facility comprises 2 newly surfaced hard courts with LED lighting in a climate-controlled environment, operating approximately 6am–11pm year-round. The club is part of a three-club sister network that includes Sutton East Tennis Club (8 red clay indoor courts in Sutton Place) and Vanderbilt Tennis Club (in Grand Central Terminal), all sharing overlapping professional staff and a unified retail/pro shop operation at tennisproshopnyc.com.

The company's product platform spans three categories: hourly and seasonal court rentals, structured adult instruction (private lessons, semi-private lessons, fixed adult clinics, Drill and Play, flex clinics, cardio live ball, evening league), and a full USTA Junior Pathway program (Three's through High Performance, ages 3–18). Ball machine rental and racket stringing/re-gripping round out ancillary services. Booking is conducted primarily via phone and email, with class scheduling supported through the MindBody online platform. The business targets adult recreational players, competitive juniors, and Upper East Side residents through a no-membership, pay-per-use model supplemented by subscription-based seasonal court lock-ins and recurring group clinics.

Revenue mechanics blend usage-based hourly rentals and subscription recurring seasonal/group bookings with one-off instructional sessions and ancillary retail. As of June 1 the club temporarily ceased operations for renovations expected to last approximately six months.
