Presented at the 2024 Awards Luncheon at the Omni Las Colinas Hotel in Irving on Saturday, Feb. 10th:

Through various programs and initiatives, the Houston Tennis Association has shown its commitment to growing tennis, meeting players, and serving its community.

Over the last year, HTA has seen significant growth in its USTA League, Junior Team Tennis and NJTL programs. It has leveraged relationships with the U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championships, the University of Houston, and other local businesses to make tennis more diverse and accessible. Notably, HTA is making a powerful investment in the future of Houston tennis, spending $160,000 to resurface all 26 courts at Lee LeClear Tennis Center, one of the city’s three major tennis facilities.
