A great club of "fun" people who enjoy the court
Brookfield Tennis & pickleball Club
located in Brookfield, Wisconsin
The NETS ARE UP both at Wirth Park & Krueger Park. Our "Official" start date is May 1, but go out there and play if there is a decent dry day. Tennis is held at Wirth Park on Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting at 9 am as well as Friday night at 6 pm. Pickleball will be held on Tuesday 5 - 7 pm, Thursday 4 - 6 pm, Saturday 9 - 11 am, and Sundays from 4 - 6 pm.
New this season is that the City of Brookfield Park & Recreation isplay now charging an hourly fee for our tennis court usage. We previously were only charged for our pickleball reserved time and were able to donate excess BTC funds to various City of Brookfield Tennis/Pickleball needs. A document showing our historical donations is also attached. We were able to negotiate a "Resident Rate ($6 per hour, per court)" for our "Drop In" Tennis on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as well as for any teams sponsored by Brookfield Tennis Club. For some background:
- In 2024, the club made a donation for the Krueger Park pickleball facility and this donation was treated as a prepayment for pickleball court time. In 2025, we started to pay a special BTC club rate for our pickleball reserved court time which is charged against our prepayment balance.
- New this season is that the City of Brookfield Park & Recreation is charging an hourly fee for our tennis court usage. Historically, our tennis court time was free given the club's long history of donations .

Last year we sponsored 15 competitive teams including the Milwaukee Independent League as well as USTA. Typically in order to qualify for the "Resident Rate", 75% of the players must live in Brookfield. Last year, none of our teams met the 75% criteria. We were able to negotiate that teams sponsored by Brookfield Tennis Club will be granted the "Resident Rate", provided all players join BTC. The Non-Resident Rate is $12 per hour, per court.
So the advantages of playing on a BTC sponsored team is that your team will qualify for the "Resident Rate", provided they join BTC. BTC also receives priority in scheduling school-related reservations. Captains will also continue to receive a $75 stipend toward the league entry fee or for other expenses. Once the schedule is released, Captains will be asked to pay the $6 per hour, per court for each of their HOME matches which will probably be split between team members.

On another note, Joan and Rocky Blashke are signing up for an Italy, Slovenia and Croatia pickleball tour on Sept. 9th. They would like to invite anyone to join them. They take only 20 people in the group. They went on this tour on Sept. 23 to Barcelona. Every part of the trip is 5 STAR. They never had such a fun time.
