Mission Statement
Grassroots tennis is our game.
We plant it, grow it, and nurture it.
Weâ re the Colorado Tennis Association.
Itâ s time to play.
A District of the United States Tennis Association, the Colorado Tennis Association is the governing body of tennis in our state.
Founded in 1955, the CTAâ s mission is to grow tennis in our state. We do this in a number of ways. We provide grants to public and private groups who want to introduce tennis to their communities. We offer scholarships to players who seek to take their game to the next level. We coordinate adult league play for 25,000 participants across Colorado, and offer many recreational programs for junior players of all ages and abilities. We reach out to players of diverse cultural backgrounds, to mentally and physically challenged athletes, and to under-privileged communities across the state.
We are in the parks. We are in recreation centers and in private clubs. We are in schools helping physical education teachers introduce our kids to a game that they can play for a lifetime, keeping them fit and healthy.
We are 20,000 members strong, but our scope is not confined to those players alone. We represent the nearly 500,000 tennis players in our state, providing information and opportunities to play for each and every one of them. Our publications reach out to players around Colorado and in neighboring states. We strive to make tennis available to anyone who is interested in our sport â all ages, all abilities, all backgrounds.
We invite you to find out more about the lifetime sport of tennis. We will help you find a court, find a program, find a league or find a team. We will help you put the FUN back in FITNESS. So whether you want to learn to play tennis, get back into the sport, or just find more opportunities to play the game, weâ re here to help.
The CTA is one of six Districts of the Intermountain Tennis Association , along with Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The ITA is one of 17 Sectional affiliates of the United States Tennis Association
