August Spotlight of the Month: Adaptive Player

Each month, USTA Oklahoma will highlight a Player, a volunteer, AND a NJTL (National Junior Tennis & Learning) or Adaptive Tennis Player. After selecting the 3 winners, we will sit down for Q & A with the spotlight of the month. 

• Athlete-- Any player that has good sportsmanship & dedication to the sport, whether they are just starting out in a Team Challenge or they are a National ranked player we would love to hear who you would recommend from your team or facility 
• Volunteer--A person that has gone above and beyond for your facility or program.  
• NJTL/Adaptive Player--A player that has demonstrated hard work and dedication they have put forth in their program.
