Kern Community Tennis Association 

 

Our Purpose
The Kern Community Tennis Association (KCTA) is a non-profit, volunteer based organization established in 1965 to develop and grow the game of tennis at all levels for both juniors and adults. The KCTA has a particular interest in partnering with high school tennis programs to help coaches and players acquire the racquets and other equipment they need to be successful.  We sponsor free drills for jr. high and high school players as well as younger kids. The KCTA also coordinates and supports a schedule of tennis events and tournaments culminating in the Grand Prix Masters Championships for adults.

Want to Participate?
We encourage anyone interested in serving on the Board of Directors to contact the KCTA at bkuney@kerntennis.org for more information. The Board of Directors meets periodically throughout the year via e-mail or physical meetings. We also need and warmly welcome volunteers who want to help in the drills we offer to juniors or other outreach programs - please let us know if you are interested!

Nominations will be accepted for 2025 KCTA Board positions in November

Nominations for 2025 will be accepted in November of 2025 with voting taking place in December 2025.  You may nominate yourself or someone you feel is interested in promoting tennis for juniors and adults right here in Kern County.  Ten signatures are needed for each nomination.  The deadline for the nominations is Monday, December 6, 2025

Refurbished Used Racquets Get A Chance to Shine Again!

Thank you to all of you who donated racquets.  They were lovingly restrung and regripped and handed over to young men who needed a good racquet to play their best.  They now know that they are supported by many men and women they've never met, but who share their love of tennis.  Thank You All So Very Much!

Tennis Serves Others (TSO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that unites tennis ladies to organize and promote charitable activities.  TSO is partnering with KCTA by collecting gently-used tennis clothing and shoes to support the "Shopping Spree" that is part of our launch of the high school girls' tennis season.  This year the Shopping Spree provided over 1500 items to nearly 400 girls.
