As you know over the last several years, the player count within the LCTA has grown dramatically – to the point we are at capacity tennis – meaning every court available to play league tennis is being used.

This has created wear and tear, friction, and the need for improved infrastructure within our tennis facility community.

Given this, the significant majority of the fee increase will be allocated back to our tennis facilities to use for improved court conditions for our players.

The LCTA established a funding mechanism this year to help subsidize our tennis facility costs and our first allotment was a $5,000 allocation to the Summerville Recreation Department to help fund a tennis court refinishing project. All major municipal tennis facilities will be a beneficiary in 2024, and this will improve our LCTA player conditions as well.

The LCTA has always considered itself a “Peoples League” with low costs and a deep seated belief in a Healthy Competitive Tennis Environment

At $15.00, we had one of the lowest registration fees in the country and state of South Carolina:

For example – various USTA League Fees

Northern California – $54.00

Northern Ohio – $43.00

Orlando, Florida – $39.00

Austin, Texas – $35.00

Rock Hill, South Carolina – $25.00

Mid Carolina, South Carolina – $25.00

We appreciate your understanding and we continue our commitment to be the highest quality, value oriented tennis league for our players.
