Lack of Facilities Hinders Promotion of Local Tennis

The Kanawha Valley Tennis Association, now in its third year, is expanding facilities and programs in Charleston but struggle to promote public court tennis. Four adult, three men's, and one business girls leagues exist, yet inadequate courts hinder growth. Existing courts at Watt Powell Annex and Legion Field plus Kanawha City Hoff by Horace Mann PTA serve many, but dense areas lack play spaces. Fully equipped courts cost 2000 to 2500 dollars each, and recreation budgets are tight. Local civic groups and clubs are urged to contact Association officials to cooperate on new courts. The association runs 33 teams and serves over 350 players across major plants, business and church groups.
