ST. ANDREWS COMMUNITY TENNIS ASSOCIATION

Who are we?

SACTA is a non-profit organization that is looking to promote tennis in the Charlotte County region by engaging students and families. We provide professional training by TPA certified coaches for both adults and youth, but also leave the courts open for those who would like to play on their own free time. As long as the courts are not booked by members, you're free to play!

We are located at: 24 Reed Street, Saint. Andrews, NB E5B 1A1, Canada.

SACTA Vision Statement:

To coordinate and promote the recreational game of tennis and to provide opportunities for all to participate at a level consistent with their personal goals.

SACTA HISTORY: Organized tennis has been played in St. Andrews, originally at the Algonquin Hotel courts, starting as early as 1912, in which year silver cups for the Gentleman's and Lady's Championships were presented by Mr. R.J. Christie, Esq. and Sir Thomas Tait.

The St. Andrews Tennis Club was formed in 1975, and is still playing on the Algonquin courts today. In 1988-89, two new courts were constructed on Town land behind the Sir James Dunn Arena, and these are the ones that we play on today. The connection with the hotel continued, as they allowed us to use their courts during tournaments. This was the case up until 2010 when the hotel courts were turned into a putting green.

In 2008 the St. Andrews Tennis Club became the St. Andrews Community Tennis Association (SACTA).
