The two top posts of Josta are headed by two senior government officers in Segamat, namely
the Senior District Adminitrative Officer and the Chief Education Officer. Therefore, if any
of these two posts is vacated due to transfer, the incoming senior government officer will be
invited to head Josta.

the joint effort of Segamat Education Department and Segamat Country Club in 1994. The three bodies work closely to promote the development of soft tennis in Segamat as core centre and the rest of Johor for future development. Josta also works closely with the national
organisation STAM for home and away championships.
