At Matrix Tennis School, we turn dedication into real results. Under the guidance of Ken Prather, our junior players don’t just train: they grow, compete, and excel. From reaching USTA circuits to winning titles and earning college opportunities, our athletes achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. Beyond the court, they’re part of a vibrant, supportive community where families connect, friendships flourish, and every milestone—big or small—is celebrated together. At Matrix, tennis is more than a sport; it’s a pathway to confidence, teamwork, and lifelong passion.
Tennis at Matrix isn’t just about the game: it’s about growth, goals, and lifelong friendships. Led by Ken Prather, our junior program has produced five generations of high-performance players competing in USTA circuits, winning state titles, and playing in college. With a proven system and a welcoming community, we help young athletes achieve their dreams while families build connections that last a lifetime.

From middle school foundations to elite competition, Matrix Tennis School guides players through every stage of development. With dedication, coaching, and belief in the process, athletes grow into confident competitors—reaching milestones that can include high-level junior tennis, high school success, college opportunities, and beyond.
This is where confidence, fundamentals, and a love for the game take shape. Players develop sound technique, competitive habits, and a growth mindset—learning how dedication and effort translate into real progress on and off the court.
As players grow, training intensifies and competition expands. Matrix athletes compete in USTA Midwest and National Junior circuits, pursue high school success, and learn what it means to train with purpose—balancing school, competition, and long-term goals.
For committed players, tennis can open doors well beyond junior competition. From college tennis opportunities to lifelong competitive play, Matrix helps athletes navigate the next chapter—equipping them with discipline, resilience, and skills that last long after their playing days.
