WTTA's mission is to foster the growth and enrichment of tennis and pickleball within the Western Tidewater area, and we welcome support from those who share our passion. Membership and sponsorship donations directly support operational costs to run our tennis & pickleball programs, leagues, tournaments, camps, and social events for all levels of tennis and pickleball players in the Western Tidewater area.
