Welcome to the Home Page of  the

Charleston  Area  Ladies'  Tennis  Association

CALTA is a nonprofit(501c7) 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)

 


CALTA is the successor to Charleston City League,
which had its unofficial start in 1973.

(Click on CALTA Charter for more on the league's history.)
CALTA is very proud to be part of the 2010 Best Tennis Town USA.


As stated in Section II of the CALTA Charter,
an individual participates in CALTA through membership
on a team -- and is registered as a member by her team captain. 
An individual interested in joining CALTA should inquire with her local tennis center.


CALTA started its 2011-2012 season on August 23rd.
We currently have 860 members on 52 teams
from 21 tennis centers!
