Thank You Heart of America Volunteers
As one tennis year draws to a close and another one begins, we want to take time to express our heartfelt gratitude to the special members of our community who give their time and talent to help bring great tennis opportunities to life here in Heart of America. USTA Heart of America actually has a very small staff, which means that most of what we are able to accomplish couldn’t be done without the generosity of a large group of volunteers.
Our volunteers help in a myriad of ways:
At Adult and Junior Tournaments, volunteers help to staff the Tournament desk and do those countless little tasks that help tournament directors keep things running smoothly
Behind the scenes are volunteers who serve on our Board and on district committees that plan and organize our district adult and junior tennis activities.
We could not provide community outreach programs without players who provide on court help for these programs.
Volunteers help review grant applications for organizations who seek to improve our community through the growth of tennis
A growing group of volunteers have taken the time to complete the training to become USTA officials.
Junior tennis parents provide logistical, financial, and emotional support for our district junior players of all levels
We also have great local tennis facilities and club tennis pros. We really value our partnerships with them.
USTA Heart of America is a large vibrant tennis community, and our district recognizes that our volunteers make this happen.
