Durham to Host the 2019 USTA NC 40 & Over State Championships

In just a few weeks, Durham has the honor of hosting the 2019 USTA NC 40 & Over State Championships from Thursday, June 27 to Sunday, June 30. In May 2018, Durham submitted a bid to host the 2019 & 2020 championship and won! Previously this championship had been hosted in Winston Salem.

With the tournament being played at several venues across the city, Durham Parks and Recreation facilities including Elmira Avenue Park, Morreene Road Park, Rock Quarry Park, Southern Boundaries Park and Whipporwill Park are set to host a good portion of the games.

This tournament is expected to bring in approximately 1,200 players from across the state to compete and will require over 100 volunteers locally to host the event.

In order to be eligible for participation, all players are current USTA members and have competed across the state in their local are for the opportunity to advance to the championship.

We hope you come out and watch some of the tournament games at our parks and facilities in a few weeks (or even consider participating)!
