The primary mission of the Tallahassee Tennis Association (TTA) is to organize, promote and grow the sport of tennis at all ability levels and for all populations in the greater Tallahassee area. TTA enjoys a partnership with the Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Department (TPRD) by offering numerous leagues, tournaments and adult and junior tennis programs.
TTA sponsors many local community and national leagues, tournaments and programs, such as Special Olympics, First Serve, QuickStart, USTA Adult and Senior/Super Senior Leagues, USTA Adult and Junior Team Tennis and more. TTA supports diversity and participation in local tennis. Each year TTA runs fund-raising events benefiting local charities and annually supports the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Foundation through the Challenger tournament.
Thanks to the efforts of TTA’s junior tennis subcommittees, Tallahassee is now home to many USTA sanctioned junior tennis events. These events represent the full spectrum of junior tournaments providing quality match-play opportunities. These events also allow our junior players to grow their games and move through the ranks, while showcasing Tallahassee and the TTA to players throughout Florida and neighboring states.
TTA currently consists of thirteen board members and an Executive Director. There are six women and seven male board members. Numerous local tennis players volunteer through the association each year by serving on committees, working tournaments, captaining leagues, or working social/fund-raising events.
