Competitions
The NSTA is structured around tennis clubs, and it is best to join a club or coaching school in order to play competitive tennis. The club or coaching school will then partner you with a suitably graded player, and provide courts, balls, reserves etc. A list of clubs and coaching schools in the NSTA area appears under Facilities.
