Marcus Lewis
The Marcus Lewis Tennis Center is an organization that is managed and directed by teaching professional, Marcus Lewis.
Marcus was your typical baseball, basketball and football player when he reached high school, but he soon began dropping those sports when he discovered that he could play tennis. Although he had virtually no tennis experience, by his junior year he quickly rose to play #1 singles for the team, and by the end of his senior season, he had made it to semi-finals of the state tournament.
During his second year of college at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Marcus had walked on to their Division 1 roster which had been in the top 25 of the NCAAs the year before. Ultimately deciding to leave school to pursue his dream of playing professionally, he spent the next few years training back near his home in Massachusetts before traveling through Europe and Northern Africa to play on the circuit during the mid-90’s.
Upon returning home, a few years later Marcus started the Marcus Lewis Tennis Center in 1997. The program began as a small seasonal tennis operation in a condo complex in Acton. It has since grown into the largest and most comprehensive tennis program in the area. The Marcus Lewis Tennis Center has inspired other enterprises that can be seen at marcuslewisenterprises.com.
Although Marcus still enjoys playing for fun, he feels the most enjoyment from watching others succeed and giving everyone an opportunity to enjoy the great life-long sport of tennis, hence the tagline “Tennis For EVERYONE”. For more background on Marcus or Marcus Lewis programs, you can click here.
