New 2022 and 2023 Mississippi League Championships Hosts and Calendar
The Mississippi Tennis Association is proud to announce the 2022 and 2023 Championship host sites. Every two years communities around the state bid to host a league championship. All locations have now been selected for the 2022 and 2023 championships. Tentative dates for 2022 have been selected, and the 2023 dates will be determined in late
summer of 2022. Several great cities across the state submitted competitive bids for these tournaments, and we thank all of the communities willing to work so hard for league tennis.
The USTA Southern 65 & Over Mississippi Championships location will be Vicksburg, MS. Vicksburg is a new host for this event, but not to league championships. Vicksburg has recently been the host for the 55 & Over Combo Doubles Championships. Vicksburg will again host the 55 & Over Combo Doubles in 2022 as well. Players will certainly appreciate the newly constructed pavilion and facilities at Halls Ferry Park in Vicksburg. The 2022 event will be April 22-24, 2022. Tupelo, MS will serve as host for the 55 & Over USTA Adult League Championships in 2022 and 2023.
