History

Gerald Perry Tennis Company (GPTC) was established in 1953. As a nationally ranked player and past professional, Gerald Perry was asked by the Springfield, Missouri Parks and Recreation Department to design specifications for and supervise the construction of six tennis courts in Phelps Grove Park.

The Phelps Grove courts were very well received so GPTC launched, as the people throughout the Midwest began to ask for his help with their tennis court projects. In 1961, Gerald’s son, Gerry Perry, started working with his father.

In 1989 Gerald Perry Sr. was inducted into the USTA Missouri Valley Sports Hall of Fame. His accomplishments on the court as a player and off the court as a court constructor, consultant, and advisor to area city municipalities and universities earned his Hall of Fame status.

USTA

Gerry took over the Company in 1990 when his father died. In 1991 GPTC joined the United States Tennis Court and Track Builder Association. In 1994 Gerry became a Certified Tennis Court Builder to carry on his father’s legacy.

Carla Magers is the current owner of GPTC, Inc. Carla purchased the company in 2001 and is a Certified Tennis Court Builder by the ASBA. Since that time, GPTC has received multiple awards, including: Tennis Industry’s Champions of Tennis and Municipal Facility of the Year for surfacing Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield, Missouri.  The GPTC work performed at Cooper Tennis Complex also garnered national attention when it received the USTA Outstanding Facility Award in 2016.  GPTC also gained industry-wide acclaim when, in 2018, our work at LaForture Tennis Center was featured by Tennis Industry Magazine, and was selected by the USTA for the featured Facility of the Year.
