What is a Community Tennis Association?
A USTA Community Tennis Association (CTA) is “any incorporated, geographically defined, not-for-profit, volunteer-based organization that supports or provides programs which promote and develop the growth of tennis.” As an association, the group works to coordinate and maintain tennis programs and services, guaranteeing that they are open and accessible to all. These tennis enthusiasts may act as advocates, program administrators, promoters or fund-raisers. Fueled by local volunteers, they exist to promote and develop the game of tennis in their respective communities.
There are nearly 1,000 registered USTA CTAs across the United States and 27 in Kentucky. Charged with developing and promoting tennis at the grassroots level, many of these organizations partner with other community organizations to help grow tennis locally. See below for a current listing of Kentucky CTAs. If you are interested in starting a CTA or learning more about CTAs, please contact Cheryl Penava by phone at 502-491-1290 or 888-582-8674 or by email at cpenava@kentuckytennis.com .
