USTA Colorado

No matter who you are, where you’re from, or how you play—there’s a tennis court waiting for you.

We had three USTA Intro to Coaching Workshops this spring at Denver Tennis Park and Denver City Park with 43 people who began their USTA Coaching journey with us!

When Coaches Thrive, Tennis Thrives. We invest in coaches at all levels, creating a ripple effect that enriches players, communities and the sport as a whole–keeping more people engaged and passionate about tennis.

As we commemorate Asian American Pacific Islander Month, USTA Colorado is highlighting members of the Colorado tennis community who have made significant contributions to our sport.

To close out AAPI month, we are highlighting longtime coach, Joe Edles.

Joe Edles grew up playing tennis in Southern California, where he held top 10 national rankings as a junior in the 14, 16 and 18 year old divisions. At age 18, he was named to the prestigious US Junior Davis Cup squad. Joe was a collegiate All-American at Southern Methodist University, reaching the quarterfinals at the NCAA national championships.

Joe was the national chairperson for U.S. Professional Tennis Association’s (USPTA) Multicultural Committee. He has chaired numerous committees for USPTA's Intermountain Division and Denver District, was named Pro of the Year in 1994 for the Intermountain Division.
