Narrative:
TRACON issued a climb to a departing aircraft. The aircraft auto-acquired onto my scope as it violated my airspace above 9000 feet then climbed to 15000 feet; was flashing a handoff to the adjacent center sector and re-entered TRACON airspace from the side. Then I heard TRACON on the shout line calling the adjacent sector with a handoff. Shortly thereafter that sector called me for a point out to climb above 15000 feet; still within the lateral confines of my airspace.this has happened at least three times this year that I am aware of; similar circumstances. TRACON needs to do a point out; handoff; or other coordination prior to entering another facility's airspace. Perhaps they need to review adjacent center sector boundary maps.
