USTA NEW ENGLAND CELEBRATES TENNIS PROVIDERS IN APRIL
WESTBOROUGH, MA- For the second consecutive year, USTA New England is celebrating Tennis Provider Appreciation Month throughout April. For the duration of the month, the organization will recognize and thank dedicated tennis providers for their devotion to growing the sport of tennis in New England and beyond.
“We are proud once again to highlight and thank our providers, as we are extremely grateful for their tireless efforts introducing and teaching tennis to people of all ages throughout our section,” said Matt Olson, USTA New England Executive Director and COO.
Throughout the month, USTA New England will hold three free networking events called Tennis Provider Lunch and Learns. These localized events will give providers a rare opportunity to learn and collaborate with tennis experts in their area in order to help grow their business or organization. The event dates and locations are as follows:
Thursday, April 4, Woodlands Club, Falmouth, ME
Tuesday, April 9, Hampshire Hills Athletic Club, Milford, NH
Thursday, April 25, Holiday Inn Downtown, East Hartford, CT
Events will take place from 12 to 2:30 pm and include lunch, provider gifts and raffle prizes.
In addition, USTA New England will highlight a number of providers with feature stories, social media posts, photos and videos.
Providers can also fill out a brief questionnaire to be entered in a raffle for a pair of US Open tickets. The winner will be drawn on Facebook Live at the end of the month.
