The Metroplex's Premier Tennis Experience · November 5–7, 2026

Leadership & Governance

The founders, board, and volunteer committees behind The METT.

Our Mission

The METT brings the Metroplex together for a weekend of competitive tennis and pickleball where every player competes for the title, every guest gets a first-class weekend, and every dollar of net proceeds goes to Scottish Rite for Children. Founded by Dallas’s energy community more than two decades ago and now open to all who love the game, we compete hard, celebrate big, and play for the kids.

Compete hard. Celebrate big. Play for the kids.
