our mission

Our mission is to improve lives and build healthier communities in South Carolina by growing and promoting tennis as a lifelong sport. We measure our success not only by the number of USTA members that we serve in S.C., but also by the number of people who participate in tennis. This includes the various ways people get involved in tennis, ranging from beginners playing together at a local park to longtime players competing in structured leagues at private clubs.
