Northern

2017 USTA Foundation Essay Contest Section Winners

USTA Northern | August 02, 2017


USTA Northern is committed to improving lives through the great sport of tennis. In addition to getting kids active and engaged in a positive activity, we believe in the power of teaching life skills and educational concepts through the sport of tennis. 

As part of this, the USTA Foundation administers an essay contest every year that asks kids to reflect on a question. This year, the question was: “In addition to tennis, education and life skills are extremely important to the development of our youth.  Which one of the three components above is most important to you, and how will it help you throughout your life?”

Essay contest submissions from Minnesota, North & South Dakota and Northwestern Wisconsin were reviewed first at the USTA Northern office. Congratulations to the 2017 USTA Northern section winners, who now are eligible for the National contest. National essay winners will receive a FREE trip to New York City for Arthur Ashe Kids Day powered by Net Generation, a tour of the city and other fun activities.
