Community Development/Local Membership
Grants Awarded

Each year, USTA Georgia and USTA Southern join together to award Community Development/Local Membership (CD/LM) grants to registered Community Tennis Associations (CTAs) in Georgia.  The size of each grant is determined by the number of USTA members residing in the CTA’s service area, as well as the number of participants in USTA programs offered by the CTA. In 2010, USTA Georgia and USTA Southern awarded over $220,000 to Georgia Community Tennis Associations.

Your USTA membership and support of its programs enable USTA Georgia to provide tennis to thousands of elementary and middle school children, encourage No-cut high school teams, financial aid for promising young tennis talent, Jr. Team Tennis, and adult league play.  USTA Georgia appreciates your support and for making it possible to provide the grants to our local communities.  

Donna Bailey, Macon Tennis Association's Executive Director, accepts $6,000 from Helen Martin, USTA Georgia's Executive Vice President.

 

2009 USTA Southern Section Annual Award Winners

Some award winners are not selected by the Awards Subcommittee and therefore nomination forms are not available or accepted.
