What that typically means to USTA Southwest Section (SWS) players is that it’s time to pack in your tennis bag an extra pair of socks Sand high SPF sunscreen; research and demo the latest racquets; and schedule practice matches in 1 preparation for your season’s league play. 0 Like those scorching summer temperatures in our sunny Southwest, tennis participation in our section is going up, up, up. Recent tennis industry studies have shown that for the first time in more than 25 years, tennis participation in the USA has topped the 30 million mark. This is a 12% increase in total play over 2008 and what is also encouraging is that our player base is becoming more diverse and inclusive. Here in the SWS, that number is even more striking, as we are closing in on the 14,000 member mark for the first time ever! This is great news and credit for our growth is due to our tennis community such as program contractors, staff, volunteers and sponsors. These numbers could not be achieved without all of our tennis partners’ hard field work, and I sincerely thank our USTA members for the support, continued participa- tion, and membership in our programs year after year. ‘More’ is definitely the buzzword for our summer tennis menu, and for youngsters there is a new game in town and it’s appropriately named the Quickstart Tennis Play Format. Because the QuickStart (QST) format uses a short court for teaching a large number of kids, it has grown by leaps and bounds as 1300 tennis facilities across the nation are now offering it. The big focus is to get more 10-and-under aged children to play team tennis and to offer training for parents and volunteers to get involved as potential coaches. As the Vice-Chair of our USTA National NJTL Committee, I am very enthused about yet another sum- mertime opportunity, our upcoming Regional NJTL Leadership Camp scheduled in Albuquerque on July 22-25 at the University of New Mexico campus. This camp offers our 12-14 year old junior players a lasting tennis and educational experience as future ambassadors for our sport. Also, Junior Team Tennis seasons are in full swing and nearing the exciting Section Championship season. For our highly competitive and skilled juniors, USTA national junior development camps are being hosted to train our top young players in preparation for the USTA Southwest Junior Closed and other national junior tournaments. As adults are sharpening their skills for the busy Adult League and summer tournament season, the USTA has launched the first ever national qualifier event for the US Open (see story inside). Our team has been preparing for this unique event that kicks off in June in Surprise, Ariz. Starting in 2010, any person 14 years of age or older has the opportunity to earn a singles wild card entry to compete in the US Open Qualifying Tournament at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, August 24-27, 2010. As a side note on the US Open, the USTA will keep its marketing campaign “It Must Be Love” due to the success from the 2009 US Open bradcast coverage. Even with so much going on, we still use the summer to look ahead and plan how to get tennis into more school districts and college campuses, as well as lay the groundwork for other dates, like our USTA Southwest Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet in Phoenix. This year’s annual meeting - held Oct. 8-10 - will be combined with a Regional Community Tennis Development Workshop, and specifically designed to develop future leadership amongst our school and community coaches, program directors, committee chairs, and tennis volunteers. We are a lucky group for sure, as we have “summer-like” weather all year-round. That advantage gives us a multitude of program choices that keep our hearts healthy and spirits competitive. It must be love, Beverly Bourguet , USTA Southwest Section President www.tennislife.com 19 Community Tennis section New Logo For Southwest Tennis Foundation he Southwest Tennis Foundation unveiled a new logo April 14 at the Semi-Annual Meeting held in Phoenix. The Foundation and its Board of Directors opened up the pro- Tcess to find a new image that represented new goals and direction via an online contest held at www.logotournament.com. The tournament drew several creative responses from graphic designers across the country, drawing on the theme of, “Enriching Lives Through Tennis and Education.” In 2010, the Southwest Tennis Foundation has given out a couple of grants already, including to junior player Juliana Guerin of Las Vegas, N.M., and to the Desert Wheelchair Classic, an International Tennis Federation (ITF-Grade) tournament held in February in Tucson, Ariz. The Foundation is the charitable arm of USTA Southwest and provides financial support to a wide range of tennis programs and activities. It is 100% reliant on donations and fundraising efforts to fulfill its charitable good works in our communities. To donate – even a dollar – please visit www.southwest.usta.com and look for the new logo.
