​​Welcome to Smithfield TPC

​We will be updating this site periodically as we get closer to our official reopening!

Smithfield Update 

The building is now completely closed in. All the side walls have been completely replaced.  The large temporary wall between courts 4 & 5 has been taken down. The Painters are to begin painting the entire court area beginning next week. The roof will be patched and seal coated in the upcoming weeks. Our new lights for courts 5 & 6 are expected soon. Unfortunately the HVAC has been delayed until the end of August. With each passing day the center is looking less like a rebuild and more like the first class tennis and pickleball center it will become!
​Check out the pictures in our gallery to see the improvements!

Smithfield Update 

The reconstruction is well underway.  Even though there have been setbacks with getting materials and the weather, we have a roof on an entirety of the building now.  The side walls are in the beginning phases of being replaced.  Most of the old HVAC systems have been removed. The painters are scheduled to start their interior building painting in mid to late July with an expected timeline of a month.  The new HVAC units are expected to arrive late August.  The court resurfacing will begin after the interior painting is completed. The front of the building and the lobby and locker rooms are 85% finished.  As you can imagine this has been a huge undertaking and given the uncertain climate regarding materials and labor shortages, we still don’t have a definite reopen date.  Once we set that date, we will reach out to all the people that we have contact information for and announce our official grand reopening! You can check the gallery page of our website to see pictures of the construction.
 
Tennis Racquet Stringing is now available at Smithfield TPC.

We have many of the most popular strings including Babolat, Head, Solinco and many others.  We should be able to get your racquets done within a few days. If you need your racquet restrung contact Jeremy at Lessons@SmithfieldTPC.com he can schedule a drop off time and a pick date. Unfortunately, at this time we only accept cash or check, so please make your checks out to Smithfield TPC.

ANNOUNCING NEW HEAD PROFESSIONAL JEREMY ELLERBY

Smithfield Tennis and Pickleball Center is proud to announce the appointment of Jeremy Ellerby as its first Head Professional. Although Jeremy got a late start into the tennis world at the age of 14, it didn’t take long for his love of the sport to grow. Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Jeremy attended Marion High School and graduated in 2014. Through his high school years, he attended lessons and clinics at Westfield Tennis Club, which is now Smithfield Tennis and Pickleball Center. He then attended Wartburg College and got his Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Science. Jeremy played four years of varsity tennis at Wartburg and graduated in 2018. After college, he was a teaching professional at Elmcrest Country Club where he taught for five years. During that time, Jeremy’s passion and love for the sport only grew stronger, as he went on to become a United States Professional Tennis Association certified professional. As the first Head Professional at Smithfield Tennis & Pickleball Center, Jeremy is excited to introduce his students to what will soon be the premiere, brand-new, state-of-the-art tennis & pickleball facility in Iowa. Jeremy aims to grow the programs and provide an energetic and inclusive environment for players of all skill levels. In his role as Head Professional, Jeremy will oversee the direction of all tennis and pickleball private and group lessons. He is excited to create a robust, vibrant, welcoming and fun place for our members to learn and improve their games. He can’t wait to meet all our members and begin to forge long-lasting positive relationships with all of you! If you would like to contact Jeremy, he can be reached at Lessons@SmithfieldTPC.com.

A quick update on the rebuilding of Smithfield Tennis and Pickleball Center (formerly Westfield Tennis Club).  We have repainted the entire lobby, and the Men’s and Women’s locker rooms.  Both restrooms are also getting new vanities and flooring. The upstairs offices and viewing area will also receive new flooring.  The materials to replace the court walls and rebuild the end of the building have been ordered and we are hopeful of getting those materials sometime this spring.  Once the shell of the building is put back into place, we can add the new HVAC system, get all the court areas painted, and then we will be able to resurface the 4 tennis courts and the 6 new dedicated pickleball courts. The front entrance of the building will also be repainted, landscaped, and upgraded in the spring. We look forward to the rebirth of this great new facility and we will give you a more definitive timeline when our official grand reopening date is available.

Good News Tennis and Pickleball Enthusiasts!
 
As many of you know, we have been operating the club on a limited basis for the month of November while we figured out the extent of the damage and what repairs to make. We are happy to inform you that the plan is to bring back the entire building. We will be replacing the damaged roof, sidewalls, and HVAC systems. We will also remodel the locker rooms, repaint the court surfaces and refresh the entire facility. The goal is to offer the community indoor pickleball and tennis on a year-round basis. We have made temporary repairs that will allow play this winter with six pickleball courts. The long-term plan is to have at least 6 dedicated pickleball courts and 4 indoor tennis courts. As you can appreciate, the construction timeline is somewhat fluid, but we are hopeful to have the entire facility up and running by the end of summer.
 
In an attempt to cover some of the fixed costs during the winter, we are instituting an interim pricing plan that will run until the building is fully functional. Effective December 1st, we will offer the following options:
  
Pickleball Drop-in Fee:
 
If you wish to come to one of the designated open play times on the Playtimescheduler.com website, you may do so for a 
​fee of $5.00 ($4.67 + $.33 tax) per visit. 
 
 
We appreciate your patience during this interim period. We are vetting several online scheduling and payment options and look forward to providing the community a facility that we can all be proud of. In the meantime as we build this website it will be the first source of information regarding our reopening timelines and news! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact usat  SmithfieldTPC@gmail.com. In the meantime we will use this website as source of information 
 
Thank you,
