Happy Holidays Year In Review
USTA Missouri would like to thank everyone for participating in our 2019 USTA events and programs.
In 2019, we hosted many exciting events including the Show Me State Games, several level 5 junior tournaments, and many NET level tournaments.
We grew tennis at the community level through grants, assisting local parks and facilities, Net Generation Schools Workshops, local events such as “Tennis Under the Lights,” “Health Activities Day,” and “Healthy Kids Field Day.”
We hosted events around the Springfield Lasers becoming back-to-back world champions including the “Springfield Lasers Kids Play Day,” and we successfully fielded great Junior Team Tennis and USTA League seasons.
We are looking forward to another year of growth and many more tennis opportunities in 2020. The district could not celebrate so many accomplishments without each and every one of you.
Thank you, happy holidays and see you on the courts!
