March 13, 2020–Due to the coronavirus pandemic, HTA is taking decisive actions and suspending all HTA Spring leagues and USTA-sanctioned events through April 20. HTA has reached this decision in order to ensure the health and safety of all, knowing that at this unprecedented time, we have a responsibility not only to those who play, follow and love our sport but also to their respective communities in Houston and surrounding areas.
As stated by USTA, this is a challenge. But it is one that we will meet and get through together. We will get back on court, but first we will need to be smart; we will need to be safe; and we will need to be strong. Without a doubt, we can do all of those things.
Thank you for supporting HTA and hope to see you on the court soon.
