USTA Mississippi, a not-for-profit organization, is the state affiliate of the United States Tennis Association in Mississippi and is commonly referred to as Mississippi Tennis Association (MTA). Our mission is to promote and develop the game of tennis in Mississippi. USTA-MS administers a variety of programs statewide for players of all ages and ability levels. As a not-for-profit organization, the association invests 100% of its proceeds to promote and develop the growth of tennis in Mississippi. Founded in 1977, there are currently over 11,500 USTA members in Mississippi. A professional staff in Jackson carries out the MTA's daily operations under direction of the Board and with the help of a committee structure of volunteers.
