The ATA was born on November 30, 1916, when representatives from over a dozen black tennis clubs met in Washington, D.C., with the goal of promoting black tennis in America. The organization held the first ATA National Championships at Baltimore’s Druid Hill Park in August of the following year; the tournament featured three total draws – men’s singles, women’s singles, and men’s doubles.

The ATA, which is the oldest African-American sports organization in the United States, has produced a number of the world’s top players and coaches. Most notably among these are Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe, the first African-Americans to be ranked No. 1 and to win grand slam titles. Others to grow up training at ATA-affiliated clubs and participating in ATA events include current USTA Chairman of the Board and President Katrina Adams, Zina Garrison, Leslie Allen, Lori McNeil, Chanda Rubin and MaliVai Washington.
