Those of you who are tennis enthusiasts know to what we are

Forward referring. Whether tennis grabbed you as a child or adult, it took hold, and won’t let go. Its grasp is firmly in place for both of us, as we choose to make our living in tennis. We spend our days talking, thinking, contemplating and breathing tennis. How do we get more people playing? How do we get players to play more? How do we get children involved at a younger age? How do we create easier access for all players? How do we spread the word that tennis is a lifetime sport for everyone?

As we look to the next two years, we hope to answer some of those questions; and as we look back and through this yearbook, we see the tangible answers. We see the faces of individuals and teams who poured their heart and soul into league play. We see junior players who gave up parties and dances to travel to tournaments. We see dedication, camaraderie, passion. We see volunteers who give countless hours and boundless energy. We see tennis clubs, parks and facilities looking to create the perfect atmosphere for players. We see what makes tennis great. 4

We congratulate the champions celebrated in this yearbook. We applaud your accomplishments and hail your triumphs. You inspire us and you inspire others. We are so proud of the pages and pages of teams that are represented in the Yearbook. While some think of tennis only as an individual sport, you know the pleasure of competing as a team with one purpose…to win together.

We thank you for being USTA members and tennis players. Your membership dollars contribute to the important community work USTA Middle States does every year. With your help, we reach out to those communities who haven’t had the opportunity to feel the magic of tennis.

As we look to 2009 and beyond we hope to see you on the courts, doing what we all love to do – playing tennis.

Warmest Regards,

Jeffrey Harrison Marlynn Orlando President Executive Director USTA Middle States USTA Middle States

The new page has more information about its mission and services as well as tabs that allow visitors to review the grants that Patrons’ has supported and also those programs that have received Patrons’ racquets.

Creation of a Patrons’ Operating Endowment Fund

The Patrons’ Board voted to establish an operating endowment fund at the $10,000 level. The Patrons’ contracted The Philadelphia Foundation to manage this endowment and make its disbursements. The purpose of this endowment is to secure annual, steady income to the Patrons’ through a managed fund, that can have additional gifts added to it at any time.

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States Diversity

USTA Middle States’ (USTA MS) focus on Diversity continues to be a level one priority and with the efforts of Diversity Manager Renee Bridges and the entire USTA MS staff and volunteer base, the section celebrated numerous diverse individuals, events, and programs in 2008. USTA MS recognizes Diversity diversity as differences in culture, ethnicity, race, gender, beliefs, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, family status, physical ability, appearance and ideas.

The section’s distribution of program grants – 50 percent to diverse programs – was evidence of the growth of diversity within tennis. In addition, block parties serving diverse communities were conducted in all six districts. One of the premier events of the year was a National Junior Tennis League (NJTL) Regional Rally held in Wilmington, Del. More than 100 participants from local NJTL chapters enjoyed a day of tennis fun, which included a trip to a Delaware Smash match. The event was the largest NJTL Regional Rally in the section and included participants from three USTA MS districts.

USTA MS provided nearly 300 tickets to Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day (AAKD) in Flushing, N.Y., to several deserving Community Tennis Associations (CTA) and NJTL chapters throughout the section. Also attending AAKD was Ethan Turner, a 12-year-old from Renfrew, Pa., who won his age division of the 2008 Arthur Ashe Essay Contest. That same week, a special group of children from Rodney Street Tennis and Tutoring Association traveled to New York City to attend the 2008 USTA Semiannual Meeting as the special guests of USTA President and Chairman of the Board Jane 18 Brown Grimes.

“USTA Middle States is continually working toward growing the game of tennis through diversity and inclusion because we want everyone to enjoy the benefits of playing tennis.”

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States Diversity

Two girls from Trenton, N.J., who are members of NJTL of Trenton were selected to represent USTA MS at the 2008 USTA NJTL Leadership Camp held in Washington, D.C. Nu-Kermai 19 Cute Kermah and Anjanique Newell were selected to attend because of their excellent work ethics and personalities.

The section helped sponsor a number of diverse events in 2008 including a Hispanic Heritage Festival in Reading, Pa., the Black Women in Sport Annual Fundraiser as well as the Althea Gibson Tennis Center’s 5th Anniversary Fundraiser.

The section held a National Wheelchair Tournament in May at the Hempfield Sports Complex. The tournament, run by Wilson Pipkin, saw talented wheelchair tennis participants compete in singles and doubles. Also, making headlines in 2008 was Sheila Costanzi, a woman from the Eastern PA District who was the first ever wheelchair participant to compete in USTA League in the section.

“USTA Middle States is continually working toward growing the game of tennis through diversity and inclusion because we want everyone to enjoy the benefits of playing tennis,” said Bridges. “2008 was a great year for increased diversity efforts throughout our section and we hope to accomplish even more in 2009.”

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States Community Development

2008 was a banner year for USTA Middle States (USTA MS) as the section saw significant increases in program participation and proudly continued to fulfill its mission – To promote and develop the growth of tennis.

“2008 was a busy year for the entire USTA MS staff,” said Ben Zislis, USTA MS Director of Community Development. “These wonderful accomplishments could not have happened without the dedication of our TSR’s and most importantly the wonderful volunteers, leaders and coaches who are running programs in our community. Together we are happy to bring the sport of tennis to all who are willing to welcome it.”

Community Development In addition to Zislis, Community Tennis Coordinator Kasey Connors, and the section’s dedicated team of 11 Tennis Service Representatives (TSR) contributed significant time and effort to improve upon the successes 20 made in 2007. The TSR team made over 2,000 site visits to program providers eclipsing the USTA national target on monthly site visits. Many of these programs are USTA registered Community Tennis Associations (CTA’s). The section saw an increase in CTA registration, a 13 percent increase over 2007’s total. Even more impressive is the fact that 33 percent of the newly registered CTA’s serve diverse communities, a priority audience for USTA MS. With the increase in registration, USTA MS now ranks third among all USTA sections in terms of registered CTA’s.

The TSR’s also spent a great deal of time organizing and hosting Recreational Coach Workshops and QuickStart Tennis Workshops. More than 500 parents, coaches and friends of tennis were trained to coach the sport.

Zislis and USTA MS Executive Director Marlynn Orlando spearheaded the section’s newest initiative, Building a Tennis Community. This membership initiative has already garnered 650 new USTA members via community based programming. Zislis and Orlando presented Building a Tennis Community to the USTA community at the 2008 USTA Annual Meeting during the “Best Practices” session, and have been celebrated for their innovative idea.

The TSR team was busy in May as all six districts celebrated Tennis Month by hosting numerous tennis block parties. These grassroots events allow people of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels the opportunity to learn to play tennis. The TSR’s assisted by providing on-site support and equipment. In total, 26 block parties were held, up 133 percent from 2007.

Also in 2008, the section hosted Membership Appreciation Days in all six of its districts. USTA MS held these events as a way to say “thank you” to its 30,658 members.

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States USTA School Tennis

USTA School Tennis grew by leaps and bounds in 2008 as the section continued its focus on the three-tiered plan of USTA School tennis, which includes: tennis in Physical Education classes, follow-up extracurricular opportunities and the USTA’s High School No-Cut program.

For the first time ever, five school districts in Middle States fully committed to incorporate the USTA School Tennis program into their curriculum. This commitment ensures tennis will be a part of the physical education curriculum at every school within the school district. Also, the school USTA School Tennis School USTA district will institute a tennis-based extracurricular program, such as an intramural league or an after-school activity.

In addition to the commitment from these five school districts, many other schools and community groups created after-school tennis leagues and workshops for children in their communities. The number of after-school programs increased by 37 percent.

“The increase of after-school programs is a testament to the wonderful people in our section who are 22 willing to give time out of their busy schedules to bring the sport of tennis to children who may have no other opportunity to play,” said Kasey Connors, USTA Middle States Community Tennis Coordinator. “Our staff, spearheaded by our dedicated Tennis Service Representatives, did a great job of showing their communities and their school districts the life-long benefits tennis can bring children.”

Perhaps the greatest highlight of 2008 was the incredible increase of registered No-Cut programs. The USTA No-Cut program ensures that student-athletes of all abilities and skill levels have the opportunity to represent their school as a part of a team. In 2008, the number of No-Cut programs increased by 84 percent. The section believes continued awareness of this program will only help the numbers continue to rise.

“USTA School Tennis is essential to the success of our organization,” said Marlynn Orlando, USTA Middle States Executive Director. “Their gym class or after-school program may be their first introduction to tennis. By bringing tennis directly to them, we are hopefully piquing their interest, and perhaps instilling in them a love for the sport that we hope they will carry with them for the rest of their life.”

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States QuickStart Tennis

QuickStart Tennis

The USTA’s newest imitative, QuickStart Tennis (QST), was launched in early 2008 and with less than a full year under its belt, QST is more popular than ever expected. A play format for children under 10, QST utilizes smaller court sizes, smaller racquets and different types of tennis balls.

The section kicked off the launch of QST by hosting two training workshops, one in Philadelphia and one in Pittsburgh. Approximately 100 parents, coaches and tennis pros were trained to teach QST. These individuals took what they learned and immediately dispersed their knowledge throughout the section. As a result, more than 200 new programs have been completed utilizing the QST format, impacting nearly 10,000 individual participants.

Since the initial trainings, QST trainings were held at the USPTA Middle States Conference in Landisville, Pa., as well as at the State Park and Recreation Conference in New Jersey.

This specialized attention has paid off and the section is starting to see results. In October, NJTL of 23 Trenton held the section’s first-ever USTA sanctioned QST tournament, the first of what USTA Middle States hopes is many more to come. Thirty girls and boys under the age of 10 participated in the tournament that was held at Cadwalader Park in Trenton, N.J.

Many other programs across the section are having similar success with QST. In the spring, Justin DePietropaolo from the Philadelphia District ran the Lionville Tennis Little League, a QST league, which had more than 30 kids participating. The league was such a hit, they continued it in the fall, and are looking to expand the program in 2009. Joy Riley, from the Central PA District has been promoting QST in her area for months. In October, she held a special QST activity day at Annville- Cleona (A-C) High School in Annville, Pa. A group of 50 boys and girls participated. Riley, along with USTA Middle States Tennis Service Representative (TSR) Cathy Shaak and members of the A-C High School Tennis Team helped run the clinic. Another sign of the success of QST is the addition of permanent QST courts. Lower Southampton School District in Pennsylvania painted permanent QST lines on seven courts; and TSR Kitty Perrin is working with four additional schools in the Philadelphia area to get permanent QST lines painted.

“The adoption of QST has been immediate,” said Ben Zislis, USTA Middle States Director of Community Development. “This play format filled a void that parents were searching for. It’s allowing children to receive more tailored instruction and have better results. The sky is the limit for QST in 2009.”

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States Jr. Team Tennis

Jr. Team Tennis (JTT), a fun, co-ed competitive tennis opportunity for children under 18, continued to create a buzz in 2008 with an impressive 40 percent increase in participation, ranking USTA Middle States (USTA MS) No. 2 in JTT growth across the nation.

In addition to the increase in overall participation, it was a record year for the JTT Section Championship, the program’s pinnacle event in the section, as 240 participants representing 24 unique teams from all six Jr. Team Tennis Team Jr. USTA MS districts battled for bragging rights. The two-day event, held at Veterans’ Park in Hamilton, N.J., saw sunny skies and warm weather greet teams from as far as Wheeling, W.Va., and as close as Willingboro, N.J.

“I was extremely proud of the talent and sportsmanship displayed at the 2008 JTT Section Championship,” said Kasey Connors, USTA MS Community Tennis Coordinator. “It was great to see how much fun the participants, parents and coaches had at the tournament.”

Four teams, Central Penn Jabs – 18 Intermediate, Deuce – 14 Advanced, Smashers – 14 Intermediate and Fantastic Fuzz – 18 Advanced, finished atop their respective divisions, punching their tickets to the JTT National Championships. This would be the second consecutive National Championship appearance for Deuce and Fantastic Fuzz, as well as the majority of the members from Central Penn Jabs. In addition to the team honors, a few individual players were honored for their outstanding sportsmanship at the 24 section championship: Andrew Hicks, Jenna Pang, Kevin Lam, Mackenzie Smith, Jason Werts, Kathleen Rafferty, Kevin Papen and Carly Landini.

Joining the four championship teams in Mobile, Ala., the host city for the National Championships, was the 14 Advanced team from Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis and Education, who received one of the USTA’s coveted at-large bids to the tournament. All five teams represented USTA MS with the utmost of good sportsmanship and fair play and the section was proud of their commitment. The Central Penn Jabs had the highest finish for USTA MS claiming third place.

“The continuous growth of JTT is proof that tennis is alive and well in our section,” said Marlynn Orlando, USTA MS Executive Director. “Each day more and more children are signing up for this program, some who have a varied tennis history, and some who are playing competitive tennis for the first time. We believe JTT is the perfect activity for all children because of the emphasis it places on values such as, sportsmanship, competitiveness, healthy living and most of all – fun!”

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States Tennis On Campus

In its fifth year, the Tennis On Campus (TOC) program in USTA Middle States (USTA MS) continued to increase in both popularity and participation. This growth was evident at the 2008 Middle States – Campus Championship where 21 teams from 16 unique schools from Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey competed, a 17 percent increase from 2007. The weather was rainy, but the competition was bright as more than 200 student-athletes filled the courts at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., in October. Pennsylvania State University Tennis On Campus Tennis (PSU) outlasted the rest claiming the 2008 title, their third straight championship. Rounding out the top four were: Rutgers University, Drexel University and University of Delaware (UD).

In addition to the Campus Championship, the 2008 Campus League had 27 teams participate from 18 unique schools. The league was divided into an overall Tier 1 Section League, as well as three Tier 2 District Leagues. PSU claimed the Tier 1 Section League 28 Campus Championship Results championship, while Lehigh University “B” team won the Eastern PA District/New Jersey District Tier 1.

Committee which has now merged into the USTA MS Collegiate Committee. The section held a captain’s meeting in 2008 which was attended by TOC members from 11 different schools. The attendees and USTA MS staff members discussed the program and its plan for the future.

“We are thrilled with the growth of TOC in 2008,” said Ben Zislis, USTA MS Director of Community Development. “We believe TOC has provided an outlet for many college students who are unable to play Varsity tennis, but still want to stay active. TOC allows them to stay fit, make new friends and thrive in the “team” atmosphere they enjoyed in high school. We hope TOC will remind these kids how much they love tennis and hopefully they will continue to play tennis well into adulthood.” 29 Section Champions

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States USTA League USTA League It was another stellar year for USTA League as the adult recreational league saw an overall increase of 5 percent. Sally Baird, USTA Middle States (USTA MS) Director of Adult Competition, attributes the increase in participation to the adoption of new programs, such as senior mixed doubles, tri-level

USTA League USTA leagues, and combo leagues.

The senior mixed doubles league saw an astonishing 32 percent increase in participation in 2008. Making an impact nationally was an 8.0 senior mixed doubles team from Wilmington, Del., which finished second at the 2008 USTA League presented by Chrysler National Eastern Mixed Doubles Championships held in November.

In addition to the team from Wilmington, seven USTA League teams finished in the top four of their respective divisions at the 2008 USTA League presented by Chrysler Adult and Senior National 30 Championships held in the fall. A men’s open team from Sea Colony, Del., and a men’s 4.0 senior team from Manheim, Pa., claimed top prizes – national championships; while a men’s 3.5 senior team from Philadelphia, Pa. finished second.

The section made significant strides towards increasing the variety of league play opportunities starting a number of tri-level leagues as well as combo doubles leagues. Also, for the first time in USTA MS history, a wheelchair athlete competed on a USTA League team, showing USTA League tennis is open to all who are interested.

“It was Middle States turn to shine at this year’s national championships,” Baird said. “Having eight teams finish in the top four is remarkable, and all of the teams represented our section with pride. Our captains, coordinators and volunteers continue to do a terrific job in ensuring our leagues run effectively for our participants.”

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States Junior Competition

USTA Middle States (USTA MS) junior tournament competitors continued to make a name for themselves in 2008, promoting the section as a force to be reckoned with nationally. Twenty-seven juniors held a ranking in the top 100 nationally.

Locally, the section hosted 37 additional junior tournaments, helping to increase overall junior tournament participation by 6 percent. In addition, the section hosted 15 national events, allowing competitors from within the section the ease of competing against outside competition without the hassle of traveling. The section continues to hold a junior member base of more than 8,000.

“The caliber of our junior competitors is impressive,” said Marlynn Orlando, USTA MS Executive Director. “These kids are not just making a name for themselves, they are making a name for our Junior Competition Junior section, and we are so very proud of them.”

In addition to the traditional tournaments, the section again provided Boys and Girls Zone Team play as well as Intersectional Team competition. Both opportunities allow participants to earn national ranking points. Led by Michael Kennedy, Director of Junior Development, the section held eight Competitive Training Center’s (CTC) in 2008 with more than 20 student-athletes attending each. CTC’s provide an opportunity for junior members to receive specialized coaching, competition, match play, and fitness instruction.

44 “These kids are not just making a name for themselves, they are making a name for our section, and we are so very proud of them.”

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States Junior Competition

Kennedy also planned and executed two College Day events for junior members. The events, held in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, provided more than 200 student-athletes and their parents the opportunity to meet numerous collegiate tennis coaches as well as listen to presentations from coaches and consultants about collegiate tennis opportunities.

The section continued its sponsorship with the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) in 2008, serving as the Presenting Sponsor of both the Boys and Girls Championships. The section was able to promote its programs and membership at both the Individual and Team Championships. Moving forward, the section is exploring sponsorship opportunities with interscholastic organizations in Delaware and New Jersey.

Thanks to the efforts of Competition Coordinator Meghan Goodwin, the results of the PIAA Girls Championships were recorded on TennisLink for the first time in PIAA history.

2008 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States A look back – 2008 District Recap The Allegheny Mountain District (AMD) met a number of challenges and took advantage of several important growth opportunities in 2008. With an expanded and energized board of directors for 2009-10, we are well positioned for the years ahead.

With the district’s boundaries encompassing 24 counties in Western Pennsylvania and four counties in the panhandle of West Virginia, geography in our 20,000-square-mile district is an ongoing challenge. We take pride that our district’s 3,500 USTA members represent a sizable and enthusiastic group, but we fully recognize that USTA tennis is concentrated in the suburban communities surrounding the City of Pittsburgh. Most of our counties do not have a single tennis club or indoor tennis facility. Nevertheless, our three Tennis Service Representatives, Bob Ruzanic, Andy Findlay and Kelle Cunning- ham, did an admirable job in 2008 supporting new and expanded programs from Erie to Wheeling to Johnstown to St. Marys – and inside the City of Pittsburgh itself. Our goal always will be to nurture interest in tennis throughout our district of more than 3 million residents.

Among the district’s 2008 accomplishments are: • Junior tennis programs continuing to expand in terms of talent level and participation. • Our Competition Training Center (CTC) for the pre-high school elite juniors developing into one of the best in Middle States. • AMD juniors excelling in Middle States and national events. Allegheny Mountain District Allegheny • More than 900 AMD juniors participating in at least one District Ranking tournament in 2008, with 219 girls and 173 boys achieving a district singles ranking. • A total of 5,027 sanctioned singles matches and 308 doubles matches played in district junior 68 tournaments in 2008, also a record.

Adult participation, primarily through USTA League tennis, grew slightly to 2,300 participants. Adult highlights included: • Several suburban Pittsburgh tennis clubs expanding the league teams they hosted. • The Highland Park Tennis Club becoming the first club in the City of Pittsburgh to host a USTA League team (Men’s 4.5) in a number of years. • USTA-sanctioned adult tournament held in the City of Pittsburgh for the first time in decades (Bob O’Connor Memorial Tournament). • Men’s draw for the West Virginia Open grew after prize money was initiated. • Increased popularity among older adults of the newly USTA-sanctioned National Collegiate Clay Court Championships/West Penn Amateur in Mt. Lebanon.

Two professional events sponsored by Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc., were successfully held in 2008: • $10,000 Men’s Futures of Pittsburgh in July • $50,000 Tennis Patrons of Greater Pittsburgh’s Women’s Challenger in October.

We look for continued growth in adult, junior and professional events in 2009, plus AMD will host, for the first time since 2000, the Middle States Hall of Fame Induction Dinner and Auction, Oct. 23, 2009 at LeMont restaurant in Pittsburgh. -Tom Benic

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States A look back – 2008 District Recap 2008 was a wonderful year for tennis in the Central PA District (CPD). Tennis as a team sport is taking off thanks to the introduction of the QuickStart Tennis (QST) format. In CPD alone, more than 500 children were introduced to tennis. QST was incorporated into several NJTL programs, after-school leagues, junior clinics and weekend rallies.

In addition to QST, Jr. Team Tennis (JTT) continues to shine. The Hempfield Area Recreation Center (HARC) hosted the 2008 JTT District Championship with teams from York, Hanover, Harrisburg, Lancaster and Lebanon competing. Of the four teams that qualified for the section championship, two – Fantastic Fuzz and Central Penn Jabs – won section crowns and claimed berths to the National Championships. It was the Fuzz’s second consecutive trip to the National Championships.

Central PA District PA Central The creation of numerous after-school tennis teams is filling a much needed void for CPD youth. The USTA provided support to 12 new programs in the district, reaching a combined 600 players. Even more exciting are the many new volunteer coaches and coordinators contributing their time and talent to maintain the programs.

Many of the coaches, trainers, parents and volunteers running after-school programs attended one of the USTA’s instructional training clinics held in 2008. CPD alone hosted four Recreational Coach Workshops where participants learned new skills, teaching tips, and games. Additionally, Tennis Service Representatives from the district held several school in-service trainings and after-school workshops preparing dozens of teachers and volunteers to share the game.

74 Children and coaches were not the only tennis enthusiast’s garnering attention in 2008. USTA League tennis in CPD is stronger than ever. The district saw a 13 percent increase in overall participation, as the number of USTA League participants in the district rose to more than 3,000. In addition, 11 teams from CPD represented USTA MS at the National Championships; and one team, a 4.0 senior team from Manheim, Pa., outlasted the rest of the competition claiming the 2008 National Championship.

Many of the competitive tennis players from the district became spectators as hundreds came out to enjoy the first-ever Koser Jeweler Pro Circuit event hosted by HARC in May. The $10,000 women’s tournament culminated with a USTA Block Party. A 15-year-old New Jersey resident, Kristie Ahn, won the event and earned a wild card into the qualifying rounds of the US Open.

All in all, tennis in CPD is alive and well. In 2009, the district, including its Board of Directors, Tennis Service Representatives and many dedicated volunteers will continue to build upon the great successes of 2008 – all in support of tennis!

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States A look back – 2008 District Recap The Delaware District (DD) successfully continued its efforts to promote and develop the growth of tennis in 2008. Tennis Service Representative Nancy Keiper and countless volunteers added new schools to the after-schools program where elementary and middle school children are introduced to the sport. Araceli Popen continued to grow the Kent County Hispanic program, while the Rodney Street Tennis and Tutoring Association welcomed Tina Tharp as the new Managing Director. Tharp along with Harry Shur, and other dedicated staff and volunteers continued their work to keep at-risk youths “on the courts not in the courts.” The District welcomed a new pro in the Lewes and Rehoboth area, Marty Godwin, who has generated new excitement in the lower Delaware tennis community through his creativity and enthusiasm.

The DD added to and expanded upon many of its existing programs. The Junior Summer Instruction Delaware District Delaware program hosted approximately 1,000 students at 12 different sites. The Delaware Tennis Center had a very successful year that included the largest membership to date, junior and adult tournaments, USTA League matches, World TeamTennis play, and a USTA NJTL Regional Rally. In addition, junior and adult instruction programs were offered, and many social and fundraising events were held.

Under the coordination of Tom Ellis and many volunteers, USTA League tennis continued its consistent growth. USTA League summer participation saw an increase of 14 percent, including a 3 percent increase at the Super Senior level. The winter Mixed Doubles League reported 62 teams competing. Once again, Sue Gardiner and Elkton Indoor Tennis Club saw strong participation in Corporate League play. Adam Goldstein continued to grow the QuickStart Tennis format expanding it to more than 10 sites. Under the direction of Dejan Blagovcanin, the Competition Training Center format again successfully benefited our high performance juniors. 78 The DD in support of the Delaware Tennis Foundation and our various CTAs supported and hosted numerous annual events. The Tennithon at the Brandywine Racquet Club included 70 junior players, local pros, and many parent volunteers. Tennis in the Streets, held in downtown Wilmington, exposed over 1,000 kids to tennis. A Recreational Coach Workshop was held at the DuPont Country Club (DCC) with approximately 80 participants, one of the largest workshops in the section. The DCC also hosted the USTA Middle States Sectional Wheelchair Championships. Tour des Courts, a fundraising event where mixed teams compete at various people’s homes, boasted 160 participants. The District also hosted the Middle States Hall of Fame Induction Dinner and Auction where DD member Ed McQuillin was inducted.

Thank you, everyone, for helping to grow and develop the game of tennis. All of your efforts can be seen in the accomplishments described here. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work along side of such effective people who are so dedicated to this sport.

A look back – 2008 District Recap

In 2008, the Eastern PA District (EPD) embraced its mission of promoting and developing the game of tennis, focusing on meeting the needs of those active in the tennis community and attracting those who want to be involved as a player, volunteer or professional.

Tennis was alive and well in EPD during 2008 with programs and events for tennis enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. An increasing number of leagues; community events, such as Block Parties and a Hispanic Festival; junior programs including an expanded Jr. Team Tennis league; after-school tennis programs; programs utilizing the QuickStart Tennis format; tournaments; charity events; park and recreation programs; and the MECCO Cup, a professional tournament, all provided sources of participation for those in EPD who love the sport.

USTA League tennis continued to thrive and increase in numbers, including several teams having success at the section level.

In October, the Campus Championship – Middle States, Tennis On Campus’ Section Championship, was again hosted by Lehigh University. Twenty-one collegiate teams from sixteen unique colleges throughout the section competed, including first-time entries Bloomsburg and Rowan.

Also in 2008, EPD hosted the Women’s 70’s Inter-District competition. Held at Saucon Valley Country Club in August, both the weather and the tennis were great, according to Event Coordinator Sally Evans. 83 EPD hosted the 14th Annual Lehigh Valley Tennis Classic. Good Shepherd and the Lehigh Valley Center for Independent Living (LVCIL) Freewheelers held their 2008 Tennis Classic the weekend of June 27-29 at Lehigh University. The tournament is the premier wheelchair tournament held on the East Coast. In addition to singles and doubles wheelchair matches, the tournament included the “One Up One Down” match play where teams, consisting of a wheelchair and a stand-up player, compete against each other.

For the 8th consecutive year, EPD hosted a USTA Women’s Pro Circuit event – the MEC- CO Cup Tournament, which was held in July at Westend Racquet Club in Allentown. Luke Jensen, the 1993 French Open Doubles Champion, served as the honorary chairperson. This year’s proceeds were donated to the Miracle League and KidsPeace Children’s Hospital.

In closing, special thanks to Bruce Kisthardt, Tennis Service Representative (TSR), for his dedication and hard work in growing the game of tennis in EPD. We will miss him as he moves on to assume a new role with Middle States. Special thanks go out to TSR Joe Romano for all of his hard work in 2008, local facilities for their support and promotion of USTA programs, Barbara Van Buskirk and Dawn Ketterman-Benner for their work in planning the 2008 Annual Awards Luncheon, and finally, to all of the EPD Board members and volunteers who help promote the game of tennis within EPD.

2009 YEAR BOOK | USTA Middle States A look back – 2008 District Recap 2008 was a stellar year for tennis growth in the New Jersey District (NJD).

The District’s USTA Jr. Team Tennis (JTT) program saw an impressive level of growth in 2008. Two NJD JTT teams – Deuce and The Smashers – claimed Section Championships. In 2009, the district looks forward to the addition of a new JTT league in Gloucester County.

JTT Coordinator Millie Sams, coach of the Deuce, was named to the JTT National Committee, she also heads the USTA Middle States JTT Committee. Sams and Deb Magarrell were relentless in their efforts to grow JTT in 2008.

The introduction of QuickStart Tennis (QST) in 2008 was warmly embraced by many clubs, CTAs and NJTLs. NJTL of Trenton hosted the section’s first-ever sanctioned QST tournament New Jersey District Jersey New at Cadwalader Park in October. They have several QST tournaments planned for 2009.

One of the most exciting accomplishments from 2008 was the opening of the Mercer County Indoor Tennis Center at Mercer County Park. The center will house year-round tennis programming under the guidance of Marc Vecchiolla, the county’s tennis director. In addition, the Mercer County Park Commission received a USTA Outstanding Facility Award in the Public Courts – Large category.

The summer months held lots of tennis action as the District played host to the JTT Section Championship as well as the USTA League Adult and Senior Section Championships. Block 88 parties were held at numerous locations, including: Ocean Tennis Center and Egg Harbor Township. Also, a Recreational Coach Workshop was held in Hamilton, N.J. The district embraced the 25th anniversary of the Princeton Tennis Classic, holding a one-day fundraiser in support of the Princeton Tennis Program in June.

Also, a senior men’s 4.5 team from Courtside Racquet Club, captained by John Reindel, reached the USTA League Senior National Championships.

In the fall, Millcreek Park in Willingboro, N.J., hosted the ITA Division III Men’s North- east Championships. In the national limelight was William “Bill” Humes who received the prestigious USTA Eve Kraft Community Service Award for his love of tennis and his tireless dedication to the Princeton Tennis Program.

All in all, it was a busy and productive year for the NJD. Many, many thanks to the USTA Middle States staff, the District and Section Board of Directors and the countless volunteers whose never ending support enabled us to grow programs, activities and meet set goals on an ongoing basis.
