About Us

The  Harlingen Area Tennis Association (HATA) is a USTA-certified 501(c)(3)  nonprofit Community Tennis Association that has proudly served the Rio  Grande Valley since 2015. Our mission is to promote the lifelong sport  of tennis as a means to enhance the social, emotional, and physical  well-being of our community. Through partnerships with municipalities,  schools, and local organizations, HATA brings accessible and inclusive  tennis programs to neighborhoods throughout the RGV. We are committed to  growing the game of tennis and fostering healthier, more connected  communities through fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate  programming for all ages and skill levels.

The  Harlingen Area Tennis Association is dedicated to strengthening our  community through the sport of tennis. Our mission is to promote better  mental health, physical wellness, and educational  opportunities—especially for youth and families in low-income and  traditionally underserved communities. We strive to create a pathway to  higher education through tennis, while also working to reduce health  disparities and improve overall quality of life. By partnering with  local organizations, schools, and municipalities, we provide accessible  tennis programs that empower youth, support adults in leading healthier  lifestyles, and build a stronger, more resilient Rio Grande Valley.
