The Lufkin Tennis Association is promoting the sport of tennis in the Lufkin area. Membership in the LTA is encouraged to help in promoting tennis activities, however, many activities are open to anyone interested in playing tennis.  Dues are $10 a year (due every June) for single membership but we won't chase any players away, come and join us.   Mixers are being held, weather permitting, on Saturday morning at the Lufkin High School Courts from 8 to 11 AM.

If any tennis activities are planned in East Texas and you want some additional exposure, contact Fred Preston. Cell phone (936-366-4228) or guest book. I will post any information supplied on tennis tournaments or other activities related to tennis in Tyler, Jacksonville, or anywhere else in East Texas. Of course Lufkin activities at Livewell, Crown Colony or the Lufkin Tennis Association are also shown. This page will only be as good as the information provided, so please help.

Some of us are using the courts at Chambers Park, they were resurfaced and have reasonably good lights. The city is doing a better job of blowing off the courts but just in case make sure you bring a push broom or blower to get rid of the pine needles and cones.   Unfortunately, like other courts the city has resurfaced, these courts are cracking again.
