Lines have been drawn, and baskets have since been added to the court for use as a  basketball court .\n The old tennis court near the West Wing The first tennis court at the White House was built on the south side of the West Wing during the presidency of  Theodore Roosevelt , the present location of the West Wing's south terrace. Roosevelt often played here with his son. [ 2 ] [ 3 ]  The court became renowned as the haunt of Roosevelt's 'Tennis cabinet', an informal regular gathering of his closet associates. [ 4 ]  On 1 March 1909 Roosevelt gave a lunch and speech to say farewell to his 'Tennis cabinet'.  United Press  described the gathering as a \"famous coterie of afternoon sportsmen that has been the power \"behind the white house\" for over seven years\". Attendees included people as diverse as the French ambassador  Jean Jules Jusserand , the Supreme Court Justice  William Henry Moody , soldier  Luther \"Yellowstone\" Kelly , the Oklahoman wolf hunter John Abernathy and  Pudge Heffelfinger , the football player. [ 5 ] In 1910, a court was built on the site of the present  outdoor swimming pool . [ 2 ] Bill Tilden  and his protégée Sandy Wiener played on the court in 1923. The son of  Grace  and  Calvin Coolidge , Calvin Jr., died of blood poisoning at age 16 after getting a blister as he played without socks on the court in June 1924. [ 3 ]  The first women's tennis exhibition at the White House was hosted by  Florence Harding  at the court. [ 2 ]  The court was relocated south to its present location. During  Jimmy Carter 's presidency, it was reported that the President personally oversaw the court's playing schedule. The  Los Angeles Times  wrote that this \"came to be a popular symbol of what many felt was the fatal flaw of his presidency: the unwillingness to delegate authority on small matters\". However, according to his domestic policy advisor  Stuart Eizenstat , Carter only asked his staff to sign up in advance to avoid coming to the court when he or First Lady  Rosalynn  were playing. [ 6 ] Bert Lance , the Director of the  Office of Management and Budget  who was accused of corruption, gave his resignation to Carter during a match on the court. [ 3 ]  Carter's Chief of Staff,  Hamilton Jordan , was a regular player on the court and was often seen wearing his tennis outfit in his office at the White House. [ 3 ] George H. W. Bush  was a regular tennis player. His press secretary  Marlin Fitzwater  said that Bush would \"subconsciously...[judge] people by their competitive attitude on the courts\". Bush would also regularly recount past games with aides, and on-court conversations could prove more effective at getting his attention than sending memos. [ 7 ]  The court was enlarged by Bush in 1989. He played  doubles tennis  on the court with American tennis player  Pete Sampras  in 1990. [ 2 ]  Bush also played with the  president of South Korea ,  Roh Tae-woo , in 1991. [ 8 ] The White House tennis pavilion in 2020 A pavilion for the tennis court was built under the administration of  Donald Trump  in 2020. The ground was broken on the project by  Melania Trump , who had helped design the pavilion. The  National Park Service  stated that it would \"provide a unifying element for the tennis court, the Children's Garden and the Kitchen Garden\" and replace a maintenance building used by groundstaff called \"The Pony Shed\". The tennis pavilion is 1,200 square feet in size and 18 ft high. It has a copper roof and is clad in limestone. The neo-classical style of the White House inspired the design of the pavilion. Private donations funded it. [ 9 ] Nancy Reagan Drug Abuse Fund celebrity exhibitions [ edit ] The first celebrity tennis exhibition to raise funds for the Nancy Reagan Drug Abuse Fund was held on the court in May 1985. A fundraising target of $450,000 was set (equivalent to $1,315,610 in 2024), with nine corporate sponsors contributing $50,000 each. Two hundred guests of the sponsors were seated in temporary  bleacher  seats. The general public was not invited. [ 3 ]  Participants included football players  Marcus Allen ,  Rolf Benirschke ,  Dwight Clark , and  Jeff Kemp , swimmer  Steve Lundquist , basketball player  John Havlicek  and the actors  Cathy Lee Crosby ,  Robert Duvall ,  Veronica Hamel  and  Dina Merrill . Politicians included  John Herrington ,  Paul Laxalt ,  Joe Wright ,  William H. Webster , the Director of the FBI and Swedish ambassador  Wilhelm Wachtmeister . The centerpiece of the inaugural tournament was the doubles match viewed by  Ronald  and  Nancy Reagan , which saw  John Forsythe  and  Pam Shriver  take on  Roscoe Tanner  and the Secretary of State  George Shultz . The match was umpired by the actors  Tom Selleck  and  Brooke Shields . [ 3 ] [ 10 ] Participants in the 1986 tournament included tennis player  Stan Smith  and  Ashok  and  Vijay Amritraj , actors  Chuck Norris  and  Stephanie Zimbalist , and basketball player  Julius Erving  and football player  Herschel Walker .  Mr. T  was an umpire. [ 11 ] Barack Obama  on the court in 2009 with members of the  National Naval Medical Center 's Marine Wounded Warrior basketball team Basketball lines were drawn and baskets added so it could be used as a  basketball court  during the presidency of  Barack Obama  in 2009. [ 2 ]  Obama celebrated his 50th birthday with a game of basketball on the court organized by his friends and his aide  Reggie Love . [ 12 ]  The game featured the  NBA  and  WNBA  players  Shane Battier ,  LeBron James ,  Magic Johnson ,  Maya Moore ,  Alonzo Mourning ,  Joakim Noah ,  Chris Paul  and  Derrick Rose  in addition to Obama's friends from high school. [ 12 ] Kobe Bryant  and  Bill Russell  were spectators.

Boilerpipe Text	Tennis court at the White House The tennis court at the White House , the official residence of the president of the United States in Washington, D.C. , is located on the South Lawn . Lines have been drawn, and baskets have since been added to the court for use as a basketball court . The old tennis court near the West Wing The first tennis court at the White House was built on the south side of the West Wing during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt , the present location of the West Wing's south terrace. Roosevelt often played here with his son. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The court became renowned as the haunt of Roosevelt's 'Tennis cabinet', an informal regular gathering of his closet associates. [ 4 ] On 1 March 1909 Roosevelt gave a lunch and speech to say farewell to his 'Tennis cabinet'. United Press described the gathering as a "famous coterie of afternoon sportsmen that has been the power "behind the white house" for over seven years". Attendees included people as diverse as the French ambassador Jean Jules Jusserand , the Supreme Court Justice William Henry Moody , soldier Luther "Yellowstone" Kelly , the Oklahoman wolf hunter John Abernathy and Pudge Heffelfinger , the football player. [ 5 ] In 1910, a court was built on the site of the present outdoor swimming pool . [ 2 ] Bill Tilden and his protégée Sandy Wiener played on the court in 1923. The son of Grace and Calvin Coolidge , Calvin Jr., died of blood poisoning at age 16 after getting a blister as he played without socks on the court in June 1924. [ 3 ] The first women's tennis exhibition at the White House was hosted by Florence Harding at the court. [ 2 ] The court was relocated south to its present location. During Jimmy Carter 's presidency, it was reported that the President personally oversaw the court's playing schedule. The Los Angeles Times wrote that this "came to be a popular symbol of what many felt was the fatal flaw of his presidency: the unwillingness to delegate authority on small matters". However, according to his domestic policy advisor Stuart Eizenstat , Carter only asked his staff to sign up in advance to avoid coming to the court when he or First Lady Rosalynn were playing. [ 6 ] Bert Lance , the Director of the Office of Management and Budget who was accused of corruption, gave his resignation to Carter during a match on the court. [ 3 ] Carter's Chief of Staff, Hamilton Jordan , was a regular player on the court and was often seen wearing his tennis outfit in his office at the White House. [ 3 ] George H. W. Bush was a regular tennis player. His press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said that Bush would "subconsciously...[judge] people by their competitive attitude on the courts". Bush would also regularly recount past games with aides, and on-court conversations could prove more effective at getting his attention than sending memos. [ 7 ] The court was enlarged by Bush in 1989. He played doubles tennis on the court with American tennis player Pete Sampras in 1990. [ 2 ] Bush also played with the president of South Korea , Roh Tae-woo , in 1991. [ 8 ] The White House tennis pavilion in 2020 A pavilion for the tennis court was built under the administration of Donald Trump in 2020. The ground was broken on the project by Melania Trump , who had helped design the pavilion. The National Park Service stated that it would "provide a unifying element for the tennis court, the Children's Garden and the Kitchen Garden" and replace a maintenance building used by groundstaff called "The Pony Shed". The tennis pavilion is 1,200 square feet in size and 18 ft high. It has a copper roof and is clad in limestone. The neo-classical style of the White House inspired the design of the pavilion. Private donations funded it. [ 9 ] Nancy Reagan Drug Abuse Fund celebrity exhibitions [ edit ] The first celebrity tennis exhibition to raise funds for the Nancy Reagan Drug Abuse Fund was held on the court in May 1985. A fundraising target of $450,000 was set (equivalent to $1,315,610 in 2024), with nine corporate sponsors contributing $50,000 each. Two hundred guests of the sponsors were seated in temporary bleacher seats. The general public was not invited. [ 3 ] Participants included football players Marcus Allen , Rolf Benirschke , Dwight Clark , and Jeff Kemp , swimmer Steve Lundquist , basketball player John Havlicek and the actors Cathy Lee Crosby , Robert Duvall , Veronica Hamel and Dina Merrill . Politicians included John Herrington , Paul Laxalt , Joe Wright , William H. Webster , the Director of the FBI and Swedish ambassador Wilhelm Wachtmeister . The centerpiece of the inaugural tournament was the doubles match viewed by Ronald and Nancy Reagan , which saw John Forsythe and Pam Shriver take on Roscoe Tanner and the Secretary of State George Shultz . The match was umpired by the actors Tom Selleck and Brooke Shields . [ 3 ] [ 10 ] Participants in the 1986 tournament included tennis player Stan Smith and Ashok and Vijay Amritraj , actors Chuck Norris and Stephanie Zimbalist , and basketball player Julius Erving and football player Herschel Walker . Mr. T was an umpire. [ 11 ] Barack Obama on the court in 2009 with members of the National Naval Medical Center 's Marine Wounded Warrior basketball team Basketball lines were drawn and baskets added so it could be used as a basketball court during the presidency of Barack Obama in 2009. [ 2 ] Obama celebrated his 50th birthday with a game of basketball on the court organized by his friends and his aide Reggie Love . [ 12 ] The game featured the NBA and WNBA players Shane Battier , LeBron James , Magic Johnson , Maya Moore , Alonzo Mourning , Joakim Noah , Chris Paul and Derrick Rose in addition to Obama's friends from high school. [ 12 ] Kobe Bryant and Bill Russell were spectators. [ 12 ]

The son of [Grace](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Coolidge "Grace Coolidge") and [Calvin Coolidge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Coolidge "Calvin Coolidge"), Calvin Jr., died of blood poisoning at age 16 after getting a blister as he played without socks on the court in June 1924.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_tennis_court#cite_note-LA85-3) The first women's tennis exhibition at the White House was hosted by [Florence Harding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Harding "Florence Harding") at the court.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_tennis_court#cite_note-WHM-2) The court was relocated south to its present location. During [Jimmy Carter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carter "Jimmy Carter")'s presidency, it was reported that the President personally oversaw the court's playing schedule. The [Los Angeles Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times "Los Angeles Times") wrote that this "came to be a popular symbol of what many felt was the fatal flaw of his presidency: the unwillingness to delegate authority on small matters". However, according to his domestic policy advisor [Stuart Eizenstat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Eizenstat "Stuart Eizenstat"), Carter only asked his staff to sign up in advance to avoid coming to the court when he or First Lady [Rosalynn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalynn_Carter "Rosalynn Carter") were playing.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_tennis_court#cite_note-youtube1-6) [Bert Lance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Lance "Bert Lance"), the Director of the [Office of Management and Budget](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Management_and_Budget "Office of Management and Budget") who was accused of corruption, gave his resignation to Carter during a match on the court.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_tennis_court#cite_note-LA85-3) Carter's Chief of Staff, [Hamilton Jordan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_Jordan "Hamilton Jordan"), was a regular player on the court and was often seen wearing his tennis outfit in his office at the White House.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_tennis_court#cite_note-LA85-3) [George H. W. Bush](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush "George H. W. Bush") was a regular tennis player. His press secretary [Marlin Fitzwater](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlin_Fitzwater "Marlin Fitzwater") said that Bush would "subconsciously...\[judge\] people by their competitive attitude on the courts". Bush would also regularly recount past games with aides, and on-court conversations could prove more effective at getting his attention than sending memos.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_tennis_court#cite_note-WhitcombWhitcomb2002-7) The court was enlarged by Bush in 1989. He played [doubles tennis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubles_tennis "Doubles tennis") on the court with American tennis player [Pete Sampras](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Sampras "Pete Sampras") in 1990.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_tennis_court#cite_note-WHM-2) Bush also played with the [president of South Korea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_South_Korea "President of South Korea"), [Roh Tae-woo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roh_Tae-woo "Roh Tae-woo"), in 1991.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_tennis_court#cite_note-BBC20-8) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/White_House_tennis_pavilion.jpg/250px-White_House_tennis_pavilion.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:White_House_tennis_pavilion.jpg) The White House tennis pavilion in 2020 A pavilion for the tennis court was built under the administration of [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump") in 2020. The ground was broken on the project by [Melania Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melania_Trump "Melania Trump"), who had helped design the pavilion. The [National Park Service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Park_Service "National Park Service") stated that it would "provide a unifying element for the tennis court, the Children's Garden and the Kitchen Garden" and replace a maintenance building used by groundstaff called "The Pony Shed". The tennis pavilion is 1,200 square feet in size and 18 ft high. It has a copper roof and is clad in limestone. The neo-classical style of the White House inspired the design of the pavilion. Private donations funded it.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_tennis_court#cite_note-CCOct20-9) ### Nancy Reagan Drug Abuse Fund celebrity exhibitions \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=White_House_tennis_court&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Nancy Reagan Drug Abuse Fund celebrity exhibitions")\] The first celebrity tennis exhibition to raise funds for the Nancy Reagan Drug Abuse Fund was held on the court in May 1985.
