Everyone knows that exercise is the perfect way to improve your health and well-being. And, as it turns out, a new study published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings and completed by the Copenhagen City Heart Study found that playing tennis can add nearly 10 years to your life. And it’s never been easier to get started. The Ocala Tennis Association (OTA) is here to help.
The OTA is a nonprofit organization whose members are proponents of the sport of tennis and its growth in the greater Ocala community. The organization evolved from the former Ft. King Women’s Tennis Association, which was organized more than 40 years ago, and now boasts more than 150 members.
“The mission is to support, develop and promote tennis in our community,” says Marianne Marcoux.
The organization caters to four groups with various events throughout the year, including juniors who are 18 and under, adult beginners, adult members of the OTA and the community at large.
“Most of our events are held at the Fort King Tennis Center,” says Marianne. “But we also support and promote tennis events that take place at the private clubs like Golden Ocala and the Country Club of Ocala.”
