Southeast Texas Tennis Association (SETTA) is celebrating the longest running tennis tournament in Texas, the 103rd Annual SETTA Labor Day Tennis Tournament, on Aug. 25-27, at the Beaumont Municipal Tennis Center.

This sporting spectacle promises to captivate tennis enthusiasts and spectators alike, as world-class athletes showcase their skills in an exhilarating display of talent, determination and sportsmanship.

This year, the tournament is being sponsored by the Morgan Family In Loving Memory of Joseph Pyburn. The open division will feature top-notch competition. The prize money amounts to a total of $8,000 across all open divisions. In addition, juniors and adults of all levels are welcome to register and compete on the courts.

SETTA was established in 1992 to encourage the development of new tennis players and to reintroduce former players back into the sport. This program aims to foster a passion for tennis in junior players, which ideally develops a lifetime love for tennis.

Funds raised from SETTA tournaments help to support youth in the community through various scholarships. SETTA gave away six scholarships to local graduating seniors this year.
