With such an active community, Frederick is home to numerous fitness related companies and locations. From the community focused YMCA to more niche facilities for personal training and skill development, Frederick seems to be teaming with opportunities for our fitness loving community members to get moving.
And it makes sense-supply and demand dictates that in a place like Frederick, where people obviously enjoy working out and staying fit, having several locations that offer the ability to make that happen fits. One location that understands the Frederick fitness fanatic better than most is the Tuscarora Tennis Club.
Having been a member of the Frederick community for nearly 50 years, Tuscarora Tennis Club has been providing Frederick area residents with the opportunity to stay active in a fun way for longer than many company owners have even been alive. Founded in 1972, Tuscarora Tennis Club was born from a passion for the sport shared by owners Joyce and Aubrey Dixon. They launched the business under a bubble in the backyard of their home which they quickly outgrew. In 1975, they built the facility off Route 180 and it is from there that they have been teaching and supporting Frederick’s tennis community ever since.
We took a trip over to the tennis barn recently to learn about their unique facility, what they offer those new and old to the sport of tennis, how they provide “The Best in Tennis” to players in Frederick.
