Officiating at USTA Southwest
We need officials!
There are more than 2,500 USTA certified officials in the United States, and we need more. Each year the USTA sanctions and conducts over 8,000 tournaments.
A smooth-running tournament is ensured when it has officials who know the rules and regulations.
We train and certify officials for on-court and off-court assignments at tournaments.
While serving as a referee, chair umpire, chief umpire, rover or line umpire, a tennis official makes sure that a tennis match is conducted under the fairest possible conditions.
