Power of Her Scholarship

We are opening our first-ever Power of Her Scholarship, designed to empower women coaches to continue learning and growing.

While 44% of USTA New England's seasonal coaches are women, only 25% of all certified teaching professionals nationwide are female. Let's change that together.

This scholarship supports women (18+) at any stage of their coaching journey, providing financial assistance for training, certification, and career advancement.

The scholarship is for $250 to use towards professional development. We are happy to award 10 scholarships at this time!

US Open Ticket Giveaway

Nominate your favorite coach and automatically enter them for a chance to win a loaded 2025 US Open package!

We'll kick off National Tennis Month on May 1st by randomly selecting one lucky coach to win a pair of courtside tickets to Arthur Ashe Stadium, a hotel in NYC and transportation to and from the US Open!

Please be sure to carefully read the directions on the form before nominating!

Sharon Murphy Spotlight
August 18, 2026

"This is stupid." That was the verdict from a group of kids at a summer club in Glastonbury, CT, the first time Sharon Murphy laid caution tape across the length of the court, creating six 36-foot courts on one full-size tennis court. The kids wanted to know why. Why couldn't they just play with the yellow ball? Read More
Gravity is Undefeated
August 18, 2026

When I was 34, I heard Stan Smith give a lecture on the role of the head in posture and balance. Being a young, all-knowing coach at the time, I thought it was obvious. Of course posture and balance matter. Seven years later, I had an epiphany. I finally saw what true posture and balance actually look like. It is not obvious. Not even close. I had to pay attention. Close attention. And in my experience, it is the root cause of most technical errors coaches are trying to solve. But once you see it, posture and balance become an essential part of your technical lens. Read More
Bronze at Maccabiah Games
August 06, 2026

Trailing by a set and down 1-5 in the second of a brutal, three-and-a-half-hour bronze medal match at July’s Maccabiah Games, Wellesley, MA’s Janet Pearl was just one game away from losing the medal of her dreams. But Pearl was no stranger to uphill battles. Fighting through a painful elbow injury on top of a multi-year recovery from a knee injury, the 61-year-old refused to give up. Relying on the grit honed over years of rehabilitation, she battled back point after point to win the match and secure the bronze for Maccabi USA, a non-profit sponsoring the American delegation at the Games. For Pearl, the bronze was more than a win; it was the ultimate symbol of perseverance and the official end of her journey to recovery. Read More
