Community Tennis Associations
Interested in starting your own CTA? A USTA Community Tennis Association (CTA) is any incorporated, geographically defined, not-for-profit, volunteer-based tennis organization that supports or provides programs which promote and develop the growth of tennis. In essence, a CTA is a tennis-specific service organization. It is an organized group of dedicated volunteers and professionals who come together to support community tennis programs. As an association, the group works to coordinate and maintain programs and services, and guarantees they are open and accessible to all. Fueled by local volunteers, this not-for-profit association exists to promote and develop the game of tennis in the community.
There are several different types of USTA Community Tennis Associations including...
Single Purpose CTA - delivers only one program or service and does not address the needs of the entire community
Multi-Purpose CTA - offers more than one program or service while still not being a full-service organization
Umbrella CTA - delivers a full menu of programs and services to the entire community
Coalition CTA - facilitates the delivery of tennis programs and services through a variety of community organizations
