PRESIDENT Just as touring pros start 2014 with the Australian Open, our CEO, Doug Eng, Ed.D, Ph.D. 30 Revere Beach Pkwy. #302 John Embree organized an inaugural USPTA trip Down Under that sold Medford, MA 02155 out quickly. I went separately from the USPTA group since I wanted to Cell/H 617-281-8368 scuba dive(!) and had my presentation at the Australian Grand Slam [email protected] Coaches Conference. The Aussies definitely know how to put on a REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT first-class show which included speakers like Toni Nadal, Judy Murray, Phil Parrish Rod Laver, Patrick Rafter, Roger Rasheed and Sven Groeneveld. One 3 Woodside Road of the most compelling speakers was Paul Taylor, who talked about Framingham, MA 01701 neuroscience and change in the quest for excellence. All in all, the H 508-877-8903 W 508-358-7355 standards for coaches was set high. Cell 617-794-8898 [email protected] My vision for USPTA New England embraces change and excellence. Many champions including Djokovic, Murray, Serena and Li Na have recently changed coaches or embrace change for the SECRETARY Michael L. Mercier better. Even Federer changed his racquet and coach recently. Our CEO John Embree has em- 108 Lovett Street braced new partnerships and growth in his five pillar strategic plan. Our outgoing President Chris Beverly, MA 01915 Stevens has initiated many changes and partnerships and I hope to continue his momentum. I Cell 978-273-6500 have three pillars for my vision of USPTA New England: to enhance education and our events, to [email protected] develop our partnerships in the tennis industry, and to grow our membership. TREASURER Connie McHugh Two of these partnerships are with USTA New England and the PTR New England. On March P.O. Box 1823 8, together we will have the first New England High School Coaches Conference hosted by the Edgartown, MA 02539 H 508-627-9200 Weymouth Club. Although the conference is thematically for high school coaches, it is really for W 508-696-8000 everyone working with teenage players. The conference tackles all three pillars: enhance educa- [email protected] tion, develop our partnerships and grow our membership by reaching out to high school coaches. VICE PRESIDENT Stephen Thuot, Ph.D. We also plan for an partnership event for community tennis associations and parks and recre- 9 Garfield Stret ational programs in May. I would like to see our educational events align with the populations we Maynard, MA 01754 serve and growing the game. W 978-369-7349 Cell 617-283-7340 [email protected] Growing USPTA means we must seek, welcome and mentor young teaching professionals who are the future of our industry. At the last USTA Semi-Annual Meeting and at the USPTA World VICE PRESIDENT Conference, an important message was awareness of the aging of America's tennis-playing pop- Helaine Vrana ulation. Therefore, it is more than teaching 8-year olds to play with the red ball. It is about reach- 20 Lyman Road Framingham, MA 01701 ing out to our younger colleagues teaching tennis. We have a Under 30 initiative where we will H 508-788-8027 reach out to young teachers and coaches, invite them to attend our conferences, invite them to Cell 508-740-5554 serve on our committees and become a part of USPTA New England. In addition, since I have to [email protected] write this message, I have decided to suspend my regular column and invite many pros to write VICE PRESIDENT articles for Yankee Prose. John Ciarleglio 20 Southpont Lane Also new for 2014 is our new racquet deal with Prince and our certification system which has Ipswich, MA incorporated the USTA Youth Coach education program. Even ADDvantage magazine has a new H 978-356-3925 Cell 781-697-6639 look inside Tennis Industry magazine. Our new Prince relationship can work for every USPTA [email protected] pro even if you are with another racquet manufacturer. It is an excellent program geared towards supporting tennis professionals working every day to grow the game. Please take a look at IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT our benefits including Prince. We will also continue our existing partnerships with CMAA (Club Christopher Stevens 502 Springbrook Circle Managers Association of America), New Haven Open at Yale, Boston Lobsters, and International Portsmouth, NH 03801 Tennis Hall of Fall. W 603-610-0183 Cell 603-969-2648 Finally, we also have many of our returning board members and two new members, John Ciarle- [email protected] glio and Helaine Vrana. I hope to see you at our event on March 8 or our upcoming May event where you can meet the board members. Please always free feel to give you insights.

  • Pete Allen Remembers Clarence Chaffee by Peter Allen, at July 19 Williamstown Dinner Clarence Church Chaffee Was Born in 1902 and Was an All-Around Athlete at Brown
    Senior Tennis 2013 – 1 Volume Six • Number Thirteen • Fall • 2013 THE NEW ENGLAND SENIOR TENNIS FOUNDATION BULLETIN Pete Allen Remembers Clarence Chaffee by Peter Allen, at July 19 Williamstown dinner Clarence Church Chaffee was born in 1902 and was an all-around athlete at Brown. In 1938 he came here to coach tennis, squash, and soccer at Williams College and remained for 33 years, until retirement in 1970. I was very privileged that Chafe was my tennis and squash coach here from 1962 to 1966; I graduated several years before he retired. He was a strong factor in my decision to attend Williams. His infectious spirit, athleticism, and emphasis on sportsmanship made him a lifelong role model for me and many others. As fine a tennis player and tennis coach as he was in his 60s, he was most inspiring to me as the squash coach. There were always plenty of already-experienced tennis players in every en- tering class, but very few freshmen had ever played squash at all. Chafe would entice his tennis recruits to try squash in the winter season, inviting anyone independently motivated to sign up for a private half-hour on-court lesson with him... every day if you wanted. He'd stand in the center of the court, swinging his racquet like a magic wand. He'd hit winner after winner without exertion, yelling out which winner he would hit next and why and how. What a hands-on teacher for anyone who was inspired to learn from the master and work hard! Williams played all the Ivies in the 1960s, along with Army and Navy.

    MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2015 SPORTS Djokovic eyes Wimbledon healing after Paris misery LONDON: Novak Djokovic insists his heart- breaking French Open final defeat has been consigned to history as he begins his Wimbledon title defence today. The world number one had stayed resolutely out of the spotlight since his Roland Garros upset by Stan Wawrinka ended his latest bid to complete the career Grand Slam. But the Serb says he is fired up to defend his Wimbledon crown just as he was in 2011 when he captured his maiden title in London. “I needed some time off, more mentally rather than physically,” said eight-time major winner Djokovic who faces world number 33 German Philipp Kohlschreiber in a tough Monday opener. “I know it could have been useful to play a couple of official matches on grass, but it’s not the first time I’m coming straight into Wimbledon.” Djokovic’s loss to Wawrinka in Paris was just his third defeat in 44 matches this year. With the Australian Open already under his belt, the shattering loss ended his chances of going on to become just the third man in histo- ry-and first since 1969 — to clinch a calendar Grand Slam. But such Paris disappointments have previ- ously worked in his favor. His 2011 semi-final loss to Roger Federer at Roland Garros ended a 41-match win streak that year. However, just four weeks later, he defeated Rafael Nadal to secure a first Wimbledon title and then went on to his maiden US Open tri- umph. Djokovic is also the most consistent of the top players at the majors-the last time he failed to make at least the quarter-finals of a Grand WIMBLEDON: US player Serena Williams is seen at the practice court at The All Slam was at Roland Garros in 2009.
