HISTORY

The San Diego County Tennis Umpires Association (SDCTUA) was founded in 1973 for the purpose of coordinating tennis officiating in San Diego County, and to provide trained, certified officials for tennis events conducted in San Diego County. Since its inception, SDCTUA has also been involved in the recruiting and training new officials, and providing continuing education and fellowship for active, retired and associate officials. SDCTUA was established as non-profit California corporation and always welcomes new members!

To join, you must first be a member of the USTA. The USTA requires umpires to pass a yearly certification exam at a level appropriate for the work they do. An umpire should be in good physical condition including excellent eyesight, verified through professional eye examinations every other year. Active members must work a minimum number of matches appropriate to their certification level to maintain their good standing. To join our local group, annual membership costs $30 and includes access to assignments, monthly meetings and a newsletter, and a standing invitation to all Association training and social events. Our bi-monthly meetings convene on the second Wednesday of odd months at 7:00 PM at the Balboa Tennis Club at Morley Field in San Diego.
