Greater Columbus Tennis Association
The Greater Columbus Tennis Association is a non profit organization that "grew" out of the Upper Arlington Tennis Association. GCTA supports tennis in the central Ohio area and is comprised of volunteers.
The GCTA is the USTA Community Tennis Association for Central Ohio. The hierarchy of the USTA organization is: GCTA, Ohio Valley Tennis Association, USTA Midwest Section, and USTA. The GCTA has a long history of providing organized summer tennis for the Columbus area adults and juniors, as well as running events for the Ohio Valley Tennis Association. A fundamental part of the GCTA is its support of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department tennis program.
