The BCTA, incorporated on December 10, 2001, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit volunteer-based community tennis association (CTA) registered with the United States Tennis Association (USTA), the national governing body of tennis in the United States.



During its first three years, the BCTA received funding from the USTA to help promote and develop the sport of tennis via USA Tennis Pathway programs.  Presently, the nonprofit association relies on programming fees, fund-raising, and donations to grow the game within the county.



The BCTA accomplishes its mission of growing the game by partnering with various park and recreation departments as well as community entities to provide low-cost tennis programs with an accent on fun and fitness.  It also hosts USTA-sanction tournaments in order to provide quality competition close to home.
