What are the goals of the SJTA?
The St. James Tennis Association (SJTA), with over 450 members and growing, is an organization established to benefit all tennis players with a Clubs at St. James Sport or Golf membership. From beginners playing socially to advanced players seeking a competitive challenge, the SJTA supports players at all levels.
The purpose and focus of the SJTA is to:

- Give back to the greater community through our fund-raisers (this year: Children’s Cancer Partners of the Carolinas), as well as supporting other charitable activities and our volunteer efforts
- Serve as liaison to Troon and The Clubs at St. James management on improving the tennis and experience, facilities, and future plans
- Serve as a voice that helps shape the growth and development of tennis in St. James, Brunswick County, and the greater Wilmington area
