The Blacksburg Community Tennis Association was formed in early 2015 by Anne Jones, former Virginia Tech and Blacksburg High School Women’s Head Tennis Coach, along with several of the ladies she introduced to the game through beginning tennis classes offered by the Blacksburg Parks and Recreation Department.

Blacksburg’s CTA was founded  to provide fitness opportunities through tennis to men, women and children in the New River Valley. Agreeing with the USTA’s position that tennis is the most healthful activity for all ages, the Blacksburg CTA plans to expand opportunities for people of all ages by offering Holiday Socials, Beginning Tennis Classes, Women’s Doubles Clinics, Round Robin Doubles Play Days, etc.   The BCTA is in the process of becoming a 501c3 non-profit organization.
