Every two years, the USTA Southern Nominating Committee seeks a broad pool of applicants for the USTA Southern Board of Directors and Nominating Committee. Election to the Board presents an opportunity to help set the strategic direction of tennis in USTA Southern.

Community Tennis Associations (CTAs)

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." CTAs work to coordinate and maintain tennis programs and services, guaranteeing that they are open and accessible to all. Fueled by local volunteers, they exist to promote and develop the game of tennis in the community. More info

The USTA/National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) network is a nation-wide group of more than 600 non-profit youth development organizations that provide free or low cost tennis, education and life skills programming to more than 250,000 children each year. More info
