COMMUNITY TENNIS ASSOCIATIONS
WHAT IS A CTA?
USTA Community Tennis Associations are not-for-profit, volunteer-based organizations supporting programs that grow the game of tennis. They are located in towns across the country and are great entry points if you’re looking to get started in the game, to play more often, or to give back to our lifetime sport.
First and foremost, CTAs work to coordinate and maintain USTA tennis programs and services, guaranteeing that they are open and accessible to everyone. Those who run CTAs are tennis enthusiasts who act as advocates, program administrators, promoters, or fundraisers – and sometimes as all of these things at once. CTAs play a critical role in the growth of USTA tennis at the local level. CTAs are eligible for funding by the Section and District offices based on USTA tennis play in their particular areas. Last year in Tennessee, over $312,994.00 was distributed to CTAs in support of their efforts in growing tennis in Tennessee. To find out more about becoming a CTA, contact Kim Wilson.
