A round-robin team format enabled participants to play with and against different competitors who were vying for the highest team game score. Twice a year, the nonprofit BCTA gathers its season participants from throughout the county for a chance to enjoy informal tennis competition with an opportunity to play on teams, earn medals, recognition for good sportsmanship, and receive swag. 

RED BALL

Playing on 36-foot courts, the Red Ball Division had a lot of fun earning team points. The Ugly Ducklings prevailed to win the Gold Medal.
