Welcome to the Home Page of  the      

Charleston  Area  Ladies'  Tennis  Association

CALTA is a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization. 

CALTA's mission is to:  1) promote women's tennis in the Charleston Area; 

2) provide a venue for fair play, good sportsmanship and competitive doubles tennis at different levels of ability;

3) identify junior women's tennis needs in the Charleston Area and apply CALTA's

available resources in support of them. (CALTA Charter, art. IV)

 

 

At the close of its 2008-2009 season, CALTA had

745 dues-paying members (plus many "subs"!)

on 54 teams from 21 tennis centers . . .

 

58 teams (including new teams from Daniel Island, Snee Farm,

Mount Pleasant Rec and Maybank) have registered for

the 2009-2010 season -- our 10th anniversary year !!

Divisions 1, 2, 3, 4 start on August 25.

Division 5 starts on September 1.

Rosters will be updated below as received during the summer.

 

 

2009-2010 Team Rosters

 

Division 1         Division 2         Division 3         Division 4        Division 5

 

Additions/changes to rosters can be made at any time during the season

by using the Roster Input Form or by e-sending a note to the board or your coordinator.

Additional dues during the season ($25 per new member) should be sent to the CALTA Treasurer

(with a note indicating the Team and Captain name)

 

A team can have a maximum of five "subs". 

If a sub plays in half of her team's Fall matches, she must pay full

CALTA dues in January if she will continue to play in the Spring.

 

 Dues are not transferable from one member to another -- but, if a dues-paying member

transfers to another team, she does not have to pay dues again.

For the rule governing transfer of players between teams, see Rule II.

Captains, when you submit a request to add to your team a player who is transferring

from another team, please indicate the team the player is transferring FROM. 

 

 

It is expected that the 2009-2010 match schedules will be published by mid-July.

The 2009-2010 Captain/Co-captain information for each division

will be published in August.
