If you are a community-based organization that provides tennis programming to the
community, you may qualify to become a Community Tennis Association (CTA) and/or
a National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) chapter. As part of these networks,
your organization is eligible for numerous benefits ranging from discount insurance
to organization development. In addition, becoming a registered CTA and/or NJTL
will open up an array of options for different grants, awards, and programs offered
to both your organization and your constituents.
What is a CTA?
A CTA (Community Tennis Association) 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 are diverse in nature, ranging
from single purpose to multi-purpose. Visit www.usta.com/cta
to learn more about benefits of becoming a CTA.
What is NJTL?
The NJTL (National Junior Tennis and Learning) is a network of community based organizations
that develop the character of young people by emphasizing the ideals and life of
Arthur Ashe. Programming must include any level of tennis and education (or life
skills) for youth, typically offered at little or no cost to the participant. Visit
www.usta.com/njtl to learn more about benefits
of becoming an NJTL.
What is USTA Organization Membership?
In addition to registering as a CTA and/or NJTL, every organization is encouraged
to join the USTA as an Organization Member. This makes your organization eligible
for additional benefits, such as the CTA/NJTL discounted insurance. If you haven’t
already, visit www.usta.com/membership
to become a member.
