Its mission is "to promote and develop the growth of tennis” in the Montgomery County area.  This non-profit organization is comprised of 15 partner facilities across Montgomery County, Md., and the DC metro area. Serving more than 6,500 participants per year, MCTA has grown to be the largest USTA Community Tennis Association in Maryland. 

It offers a number of programs for tennis players of all ages, USTA leagues and tournaments, Junior Team Tennis, World Team Tennis, tennis socials, Special Olympic events, clinics and much more. 

Besides all the tennis programs offered, the MCTA also gives back to the community through its charitable foundation, the Montgomery County Tennis & Education Foundation (MCTEF).
