A Community Tennis Association (CTA) is an umbrella organization that oversees tennis programs in a community. The CTA may run tournaments and offer clinics at various facilities. The CTA is a lobbying force for the community and often provides leadership, a consolidation of resources, continuity with public recreation programs and fund development.
