MATRIX RACQUET CLUB
The newest state of the art tennis facility is coming to Northwest Arkansas! The area is in desperate need for more tennis courts and programs. WE are creating an environment for racquet sports players unparalleled to anything else in the community! Not only are outdoor courts hard to come across, but indoor courts are nearly impossible in the cold weather months. Matrix is going to fill the tennis court need and much more. We are introducing a new sport to Arkansas called PADEL. We are also hopping on the PICKLEBALL band wagon. Other amenities include fitness studios, healthy cafes, adult and junior programming, cardio tennis, a spin theater, massage therapy, an active-wear boutique, information seminars, social events, a wine bar, etc. are other aspects that we are providing for the community. Everything needed for a healthy lifestyle!

Concept Pictures
Over 30 million people in the Unites States play tennis. The United States Tennis Association has over 700,000 individual members and 7,000 organizational members. It’s a lifelong sport that can be played at any age at any level that lets you work out your brain and body simultaneously. Fayetteville’s Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified one the community’s greatest deficiencies was in tennis courts.
No one has been willing to fix this problem until now. Matrix is going to provide the community with the ability to play all year long. Our indoor facility will contain 6 well- built acrylic courts. The outdoor courts will be composed of 6 courts, a show court, and 4 mini courts. We spent countless hours designing and redesigning every aspect of this layout. From player, parent, spectator, and coaching experiences we feel that this is the best for everyone. There is direct bleacher viewing of every court, for the comfort of parents and spectators. On top of the outdoor cafe, there will be additional viewing of all courts, inspired by the USTA National Campus in Orlando, FL.
From the concept pictures, it's easy to see that we are not just adding tennis courts. We are bringing health, fitness, and fun to the NWA community. The bottom floor of the clubhouse is going to focus around getting informed, shopping, and enjoying your own style of workout. Whether it be a spin class in the spin theater or a specialized class in the fitness studio. There is going to be phenomenal locker rooms, massage therapy, and a designated area to build your own workout with machines. The second floor of the indoor facility is going to be more open and centered on watching tennis and enjoying healthy food or a cold one. There will be plenty of viewing opportunities for everyone. The cafe will be serving everything from early morning coffee and a bagel to fresh salads and a wine/ beer selection.
NexGen is our non- profit, junior high-performance tennis academy.
