Universal Rackets runs pickleball and tennis programs in more than 45 communities, and now we are partnering with Manatee County to bring public clinics to Lakewood Ranch Park and Premier Sports Campus North. Certified coaches. Equipment provided. Every level welcome.
Before the public programs with the county, Universal Rackets was already working with Lakewood Ranch and Parrish communities. The same coaches, the same curriculum, now open to everyone.
We work with The Lake Club on pickleball programs for residents inside one of Lakewood Ranch's premier gated communities.
We work with Shoreview on pickleball programs for residents through the community's lifestyle calendar.
We work with North River Ranch on pickleball programs for residents, a few minutes north of Lakewood Ranch.
Pickleball at Premier Sports Campus North and tennis plus toddler classes at Lakewood Ranch Park. No membership, no residency requirement. See the schedule →
Five-week sessions, small groups, and a curriculum we have refined across thousands of clinics. Pick your sport and your age group, and we handle the rest.
Beginner through intermediate plus. Learn the game from scratch or sharpen what you have.
Ages 7 to 14. Fun, fast-moving classes that build real strokes and real confidence.
Ages 1.5 to 5, parent and child together, in our dedicated toddler program. Tennis and pickleball skills through games, music and play.
The first three were taken right here in Lakewood Ranch with local players. The rest are from our programs up north.

Universal Rackets was founded by Tyler Stroyek, a former Division I player at Saint Joseph's University and a USPTA-certified professional. Today Universal Rackets is a team of certified coaches running programs for more than 45 communities, with every clinic following the same proven curriculum.
Tyler has also become one of the most-followed pickleball coaches in the world, with an online community of more than 100,000 players. The coaching that reaches people on their phones is the same coaching you get on the court in Lakewood Ranch.
Session 1 starts in January 2027 and spots are limited. Leave your name and email and we will send the schedule and a reminder before each deadline.
