The clay courts are a local treasure – the only public red clay tennis courts in New York City. The Riverside Clay Tennis Association is proud to take care of such a beloved gem, however keeping the courts in good condition is no small task or expense. These ten courts were revived from disrepair by a local community of volunteers. Read our full history under the Join the RCTA dropdown menu. The RCTA relies on lesson fees, memberships, and donations to fund our continued care of the courts and the surrounding areas and to provide the best tennis experience to the community.
We have over 1,000 current members and always have room for more! Anyone can join at any time for a contribution of $60, valid for one full year beginning on the date of purchase.
Please note that outside of the benefits listed below, members do not have any playing priorities over the public.
