Welcome to the KCTA
Supporting the Kern County tennis community since 1965.

Thank You!

Dear Friends of KCTA:

The 2026 Give Big Kern campaign has officially concluded, and we have much for which to be thankful. We received support from the community at a level never seen before. We exceeded our goal, surpassed our record for GBK donations by 40%, and, perhaps most important, we increased our donor base by 60%. That resulted in KCTA ranking #7 overall (out of 149 organizations), #1 in Volunteer Led organizations, and #2 in Education & Youth Development. We are proud of the confidence that shows you have in our work.

The statistics are great, but far more important is what this support will enable us to do for young people in our community. During the coming year, we will provide over 600 pairs of shoes, 300 racquets, 5,000 practice balls, and many thousands of pieces of clothing and other gear to local student athletes. We will also sponsor up to 15 hours of professional instruction for over 400 kids. Most would not be able to participate without this support that keeps them healthier, happier, out of trouble, and more focused in the classroom.

This recent note from a Highland player says it better than we can. "Without you guys, I wouldn't be able to play tennis. KCTA has really improved my social life in high school by making it possible for me to play on a team."

Thank you,

KCTA Board of Directors
