Welcome to The South Philadelphia Tennis Association
The SPTA Mission is to:
Provide the South Philadelphia area with the highest quality instructional, social and competitive programming,
Coordinate a team of local stakeholders for community outreach and education, providing our friends and families access to the unmatched health and social benifits of our unique sport.
Our "Play-To-Learn" approach will have players hitting the ball back and forth the first day out. Juniors and/or adults will enjoy some exciting moments of learning the basics of the game's, by playing with new friends and partners, and getting a feel for healthy shot-making and reliable shots you'll have fun telling others about.
Wear Loose clothing, lacen up those sneakers, and bring a towel and some water, because "This ain't no country club" and "It's more fun to hit the ball, then chasing it around to pick it up!"
The South Philadelphia Tennis Association was established under the USTA in 2011 for the purpose of offering “Instructional, Social and Competitive Tennis Programming” to South Philadelphia and it's surrounding communities.
