Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association (ALTA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1934[1] that is devoted to the development of tennis for recreation and physical fitness and is pledged to maintain the rules of play and high standard of sportsmanship based in Atlanta, Georgia.
The primary function of ALTA is scheduling league play for adult and junior teams in the five-county Atlanta metro area. A facility annexation program was developed in 1988 to include qualifying facilities in counties adjacent to the metro counties.[citation needed]
The Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association was first registered with the United States Lawn Tennis Association in 1934. The purpose of the organization at that time was to promote tennis tournaments and junior tennis development in the Atlanta area.[2]
