If you have a question which is not in this section, please contact us. What Do My Membership Dues Pay For? Annual membership dues help pay for the following: - Administrative costs to schedule, host and run social events and tournaments.
- ECTA Website hosting and maintenance expenses.

programs for tennis.
What Do The Tournament Fees Pay For?
Tournament fees include membership in the ECTA (unless you have already paid your annual dues) and go to pay for court rentals (when applicable) tennis balls, signage, refreshments and other promotional items (T-shirts, bag tags, pens) that are given to tournament participants.
Why Do I Have To Be A Member of The ECTA to Play on a League Team (Shoreline, Park District, etc.)?
The primary reason that league team players need to be members of the ECTA is the issue of liability insurance. Since the ECTA sponsors the league, our association may be legally liable should an accident occur. Insurance that the ECTA carries does not cover non-members.
What Other Benefits Do I Get From Being a Member of ECTA?
League teams get priority status with the City of Evanston for court reservations, which means that captains do not have to be concerned about where they are playing their home matches and do not have to rack up to reserve courts for home matches. Scheduling of the courts is handled by the ECTA Board.
In addition to scheduling and running several social events and tournaments a year, the ECTA is a central resource to help connect players throughout the community, act as an advocate before city and local government and serve as a key information hub for tennis players of all levels and interests.Â
