"T A L K "  Tennis Association Louisville Kentucky

The USTA Louisville League is acting under the CTA - "T A L K".  A Community Tennis Association (CTA) is a not-for-profit tennis specific organization that exists to utilize USTA and other effective programming to promote and develop the game of tennis in the community.  CTAs are successful because of dedicated volunteers and professionals who come together to support community tennis programs by serving as advocates, program administrators, promoters, or fundraisers who assess tennis programs, identify program needs and recruit the personnel to start-up or expand tennis programs.
