Happy New Year from USTA St. Louis!
Happy New Year, everyone!
Wow, it is 2024 already. Can you believe it?! I want to take this opportunity to share a look ahead at our USTA St. Louis goals for this year. Our mission — and main goal — is always to grow tennis. We must continue to find new and innovative ways to ensure tennis is accessible to all.
Key Goals for 2024:
• Support any and all initiatives to revitalize existing courts as well as projects to build new courts.
• Increase court access for adaptive tennis.
• Expand our local officiating staff; develop a supporting court monitor program.
We have many additional goals for the coming year and plenty of volunteer opportunities to help us achieve them. Please feel free to reach out to us for more information regarding our district’s growth plans and opportunities to get involved. It takes a village!
We are looking forward to another amazing year of tennis in St. Louis, and we encourage you to join us on our journey.
Best,
Megan Kovacs
USTA St. Louis Executive Director
