Support Dutch Tennis

As we look across the Poortinga Family Courts, it’s impossible not to feel the legacy built by generations of Central tennis alumni. Thanks to the incredible support of our alumni and the Pella community, we recently completed a full renovation of our outdoor courts — featuring a new concrete foundation and modern playing surfaces. This investment has already transformed the daily experience of our student-athletes.

While these upgrades were a major milestone, sustaining a championship-level tennis program requires continued support.

For the 2026 season, we are raising funds for the “extras” that make the Dutch experience special including:

• Travel opportunities that allow our teams to compete against strong regional opponents and participate in spring break experiences
• Equipment upgrades, such as ball machines, hoppers and specialized training tools that support high-quality, high-repetition practice
• Team-building experiences that strengthen leadership and the culture Central teams are known for.

Every gift directly impacts our student-athletes and helps them succeed on the court, in the classroom and beyond. Your support ensures Central tennis continues to thrive for years to come.

Thank you for being part of the Central tennis tradition.

Go Dutch!
