The LCTA is Results Driven!

For some reason – these photos make us really happy. These are drone photographs of the 4 newly refinished courts at Mount Pleasant Tennis Center.

The courts look and play like new, they were completed in record time and will be used for our future LCTA matches and local playoffs.

The core objective of the LCTA is to provide safety and a positive competitive experience for our players.

We want to thank the Town Council of Mount Pleasant and Recreation Department for approving and overseeing this project, along with contributions from the USTA.

Great team work!

Enjoy the Courts!

Fun Fact for May

The highest tennis court was installed on the circular helipad of the Burj Al Arab luxury hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 22 February 2005, at 211 m (650 ft) above the ground and protected only by a simple safety net.

Professionals Roger Federer and Andre Agassi played a friendly game – very carefully! – to promote the ATP’s Dubai Duty Free Men’s Open. –Source Guinness World Records
