La Jolla Tennis Club has nine courts nestled in the heart of the La Jolla Village close to the beautiful Pacific Ocean. It is home to one of California's oldest and most prestigious tennis tournaments, the Annual La Jolla Tennis Championships, which has been held continuously since 1917.

LJTC was chartered in 1923 and maintains the 9 City-owned courts as a public facility. The club provides the nets, wind screens, resurfacing, lights, maintenance, cleaning, and landscaping. In addition, the Club contributes $2,000 yearly to the La Jolla High School for the additional courts needed during the Annual Summer Championship Tournament and the Junior Clinics. The LJTC free Junior Clinic each summer for kids is run for those who might not otherwise find any access to instruction. All Juniors (18 and under) play free at the club.

The Board of Directors meet on the first Tuesday of every other month in the Pro Shop at 6:15 P.M. Check the Newsletter or ljtc.org web site for date verification. Members are invited to attend. The minutes are also available for review in the Blue Member's Notebook located in the Pro Shop.
