Read Our 2021 Summer Serve Issue
Our summer 2021 issue of Serve just dropped.
In this issue, we talk about the boom of tennis and what that means for USTA Missouri Valley. Over 1 million people played tennis in our five-state region in 2020. How can we keep that momentum alive? It's the #summeroftennis - find out where you can play near you.
We also took this issue to honor Pride Month 2021 - with an interview with Bill Towler, Vice President of the USTA National Committee for Diversity and Inclusion. Additionally, we spoke with a St. Louis LGBTQ organization with aspirations to add tennis to its programming repertoire.
You will also find a feature on a woman who battled cancer - and won. Her fight to get back on the court is an inspiration.
Finally, several USTA Missouri Valley districts shared with us local news and schedules for programming.
Read more on these topics and other USTA Missouri Valley news in our newest issue of Serve.
