Welcome to the official website of the Foothills Tennis Association (FTA). We're known as the working women's league for the Upstate of South Carolina because all of our matches are played on weeknights or weekends.

If you are a weeknight or weekend warrior by choice or necessity, and you love good tennis, come and join us.  

Use the links on the left to find a team. If you don't see what you're looking for or need help getting started, contact us

For more information, contact your local league coordinator.

Play is planned for Sundays in October and November (with the exception of Thanksgiving weekend) for the 18/40 group. The 50+ group will coordinate play with Shay. If teams want to play on another day, all teams in the flight must agree; and it would need to be communicated to Iris Poleto prior to scheduling. Deadline to register is Sept. 4.

FTA is adding a Summer Singles League (NEW)

Sign up now to join the FTA Summer Single League. We are able to offer singles play due to a calendar shift of the Singles Championships. 

Additionally, the age groups now include 18s, 40s and 50s. The 18s and 40s groups will play on Saturdays and the 50s group create unique schedules for teams along with Shay Jenkins, flight coordinator.  

Match play is 3 lines of singles. Registration is open until May 1. Play begins in late May, with championship weekend Sept. 23-25, in Aiken. 

As a reminder, singles champions don't progress beyond the state level.
