Tennis Nashville: Letter from the President

Since accepting the position of Tennis Nashville Association President in July of this year, I’ve been learning much about Community Tennis Associations and their purpose, making lots of phone calls and sending emails to fellow tennis friends and former board members, and surfing the web for answers, assessing our direction. Most every large city has a CTA and most are affiliated with USTA. CTA’s are non-profit organizations run by VOLUNTEERS, to specifically promote the game of tennis, build community relationships, and give back to the community and designated charities.
