Centercourt Athletic Club of Chatham

Nice spot with a clean pool and chill atmosphere. Shoutout to Loui Castaneda he’s always working hard and keeping things in order. Real solid guy. Definitely a good vibe here.

Absolutely amazing pool, I feel welcomed by the lifeguards after coming from a couple sets on the courts its a very refreshing experience everytime! Thank you Guards and New Jersey Pool Management for keeping the pool nice!

They offers a wide range of sports coaching programs for kids, including tennis, pickleball, and their exciting Ninja program. They also host fun and engaging birthday parties as part of their Ninja program, making it a fantastic option for active celebrations. Highly recommend this place for kids to learn, play, and have a great time!

If you’re booking any UTR or USTA games here, be prepared for overbooking, poor organization, and unprofessional behavior from some staff—including a USTA employee. Kids are often left waiting for long periods with no communication. Meanwhile, the Center Court staff member on site stands around chatting with players and parents, and when approached for help, responds with attitude, saying he’s not working and acting like it’s our fault for asking questions. If he’s not on the clock, why is he wearing a Center Court hoodie and present in the bubble? Today, I saw one person trying to manage games across multiple bubbles, which meant no one was available to address issues as they arose—because they simply weren’t there. I even had to clean the clay court myself. For USTA games, this is usually taken care of, but during the UTR event, the manager just told me to start playing. The court clearly hadn’t been prepared all day. When I started cleaning it myself, the person in charge looked irritated rather than saying thank you. I wasn’t even sure if the court was ready for a singles or doubles match. This kind of neglect is unacceptable and shows that the focus isn’t on creating a professional or enjoyable experience for the kids. I’ve been to many well-run facilities, and I know what organized looks like. Today’s match started an hour late, in a different bubble than planned—despite receiving four separate email confirmations with the original time and court details.

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Loui Castaneda for being so attentive and kind while my kiddos were in the pool. My wife and I felt very reassured. He was incredibly diligent, respectful, and professional throughout. Plus, the up keep on the pool was spectacular!
