Ball persons needed for professional tennis events in Edmond this October

The Oklahoma Tennis Foundation (OKTF) is seeking ball persons to participate in two upcoming professional tennis events at Edmond Center Court. Individuals can sign up by clicking here.

The first event is the OKTF Invitational on Oct. 3-4, a $25,000 prize-money tournament that benefits the Oklahoma Tennis Foundation. The second is the ITF/USTA Edmond Open W100 professional women’s tournament on Oct. 6-12.

These tournaments will bring world-class tennis to Edmond, and ball persons play a crucial role in creating a professional, smooth-running experience for players and fans alike.

“We’re especially looking for juniors ages 11 and up who have an understanding of the scoring, and adults who play in local or USTA leagues,” said David Minihan, Edmond Center Court general manager. “It is mandatory that we have ball persons for all main-draw matches, so we are needing help with the adult market especially during the morning and early afternoons. This is a unique opportunity to be part of the action and get up close to top-level tennis.”
