About CPTL Posted: September 7, 2009
CPTL is a Non-Profit Organization
Remember all of our events are free to the public!
The purpose of CPTL is to create a competitive environment for high-level tennis players and to promote local tennis while providing high-quality community support and entertainment.
We are very excited to enter into our 7th season with the Charleston Pro Tennis League. During our 2007 fall season our sponsor and fan support was outstanding and beyond all expectations. We averaged approximately 250 to 350 + fans per event and exhibited the highest level of tennis in the Charleston area during 2003.
Last year the local press covered CPTL, Inc. our players and founders with consistent TV and Print media coverage. Last season we were supported by 22 local and national sponsors; As we grow, we do expect our press coverage and exposure to grow as well. Look for the CPTL event results and updates on our web site, (www.cptltennis.com) , or in the news weekly. There does appear to be a huge thirst for high-level competitive tennis in Charleston and our goal is to consistently serve up the best tennis in town.
