TALLAHASSEE TENNIS ASSOCIATIONOrganize, Promote & Grow the Sport of Tennis in Tallahassee |
The purpose of the Tallahassee Tennis Association (TTA) is to organize, promote and grow the sport of tennis at all ability levels and for all populations in the greater Tallahassee area. TTA enjoys a partnership with the City of Tallahassee Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Affairs Department (TPRNA) by offering numerous leagues, tournaments and adult and junior tennis programs.
TTA sponsors many local leagues, organizes tournaments for adults and juniors and supports teams going to USTA national tournaments. TTA supports diversity and participation in local tennis. Each year TTA runs fund-raising events benefiting local charities (like America's Second Harvest of the Big Bend) and annually supports the Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Foundation through the USTA Tallahassee Tennis Challenger.
In Memory
Sadly, Tallahassee Tennis Titan, Tom Bahorski, passed away on July 19. Tom was an active tennis enthusiast, representing our City at Nationals, umpiring collegiate tennis, volunteering at the Challenger, and serving as a longtime TTA Board Member and Officer. More importantly, he was a dear friend, teammate, and mentor and will be dearly missed by all who had the honor of knowing him. His service will be at 12:30 pm on Tuesday, July 30, at Culley's on Riggins Road. Visitation begins at 11:30am.
We send our sincere condolences to the Bahorski family, Carol, Jessica, and Zachary. The family asked that anyone wishing to express their condolences to please consider a donation to an organization that was near and dear to Tom, including TTA. A donations page has been created to accept donations for a memento in his memory.
