OUR STORY

Founded in 1993, Lifetime Activities has spent more than three decades creating, instructing, and growing tennis, pickleball, and recreation programs in communities throughout Northern California. In addition to delivering high-quality programs for players and participants of all ages and abilities, Lifetime Activities serves as the operator of municipal recreation facilities across six Bay Area communities.

Over the years, Lifetime Activities has grown from its roots in tennis into a leading provider of community-based racquet sports and recreation, building a strong reputation for exceptional service, innovative programming, operational excellence, and lasting partnerships with the communities we serve.

In the summer of 2026, Lifetime Activities entered a new chapter when the organization was acquired by Matt Hanlin, President of Impact Activities and a longtime industry peer. With the transition, Founder Dana Gill assumed the role of CEO Emeritus, continuing his connection to the organization he founded and led for more than three decades, while Matt assumed leadership as President and owner.

As Lifetime Activities moves into its next chapter, our commitment remains the same: creating positive experiences, strengthening communities, and providing opportunities for people to learn, play, connect, and enjoy lifelong participation in racquet sports and recreation.

Mission

Through racquet sports and other activities, we provide positive experiences that foster lifelong wellness, enjoyment, and skill development in every community we serve.

Core Values

Safety • Learning • Integrity • Wellness • Community

Teamwork • Positivity • Fun • Professionalism

Leadership

Matt Hanlin

President

Matt Hanlin became President of Lifetime Activities following his acquisition of the organization in the summer of 2026. Building on his work with Impact Activities, Matt’s leadership now extends to municipal tennis and pickleball operations in Northern California, Coronado in Southern California, and multiple locations throughout North Texas.

A former Division I All-American and the all-time winningest tennis player at the University of Washington, Matt went on to compete professionally and earn an ATP ranking. His connection to the sport spans nearly four decades, from competing and coaching to managing tennis and pickleball facilities and programs across multiple communities.

Beyond his work in facility management, Matt remains committed to expanding opportunities for young players through his 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which provides scholarships to youth. He also enjoys coaching his son, Dalton, and daughter, Dakota, and is looking forward to marrying his fiancée, Lucrecia, in November 2026.

Whether on the court or behind the scenes, Matt’s passion for tennis and pickleball continues to guide his commitment to growing the game, supporting communities, and creating opportunities for generations of racquet sport enthusiasts to come.

 

Dana Gill

Founder & CEO Emeritus

Dana Gill founded Lifetime Activities in 1993 with a vision of creating opportunities for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to enjoy tennis and active lifestyles. His personal mission is simple: to help people enjoy life through the game of tennis and other activities.

Over more than three decades, Dana has been dedicated to expanding access to quality recreation programs and public facilities, building partnerships with communities, mentoring generations of recreation and tennis professionals, and creating welcoming environments where people can learn, play, compete, and connect. Just as importantly, he has fostered a culture centered on service, care, and community, often saying, “We like to hire people who like helping others.” That philosophy has helped shape an organization where employees, customers, and community partners feel valued, supported, and connected.

A former Division I player at San Diego State University, Dana is an Elite USPTA-certified professional, lifelong advocate for grassroots tennis, and accomplished competitor. He was inducted into the USTA Northern California Hall of Fame in 2023 in recognition of his contributions to the growth of tennis and recreation throughout the region. He remains actively involved in the sport and continues to compete at the highest levels of international senior tennis.

Also in 2023, Dana achieved a world No. 1 ranking in the ITF Men’s 50+ division and continues to compete regularly on the ITF Masters Tour. He is a frequent participant in the ITF World Team and Individual Championships and, in 2025, captained and played on Team USA’s Men’s 55 & Over team that captured the ITF World Team Championship (Austria Cup).

Throughout his career, Dana has remained committed to using sport as a vehicle for connection, community, and personal growth, helping create opportunities for people to build friendships, stay active, and enjoy lifelong participation in recreation.
