Tips for recruiting new players for your team (from USTA Mid-Atlantic Region):

  • Ask all team players to be on the lookout for new players
  • Talk to Club Pros about players taking lessons and looking for a team
  • Let your Local League Coordinator know you're looking for players
  • Research players to ensure they'll fit the team in terms of experience level, expectations, and schedules
  • Ask players to send a short email with their preferences (singles, doubles, ad side, etc.), and whether they have any friends they like to play with (may recruit another player)
  • Lookup the new player on TennisLink

How long have you been playing tennis, and what got you started?
I started playing in 2010 after a friend suggested it to me. I joined LTC and jumped into some new player clinics and loved it!

What is your favorite league to play in and why?
I love Adult League for several reasons. I have been playing with the same team for several years now and we have become good friends. It is a competitive and challenging league! I also enjoy Mixed Doubles as it is a bit more relaxing and a fun summer league.

What do you enjoy/look forward to about volunteering for TACK?
I have found the TACK Board to be comprised of like-minded individuals who come together to help guide the professionalism of the sport. There are, at times, lively discussions regarding current issues. COVID has been challenging and frustrating on many levels, but everyone worked together to play while practicing safety guidelines.

If you could attend one of the four grand slams, which would you choose, and why?
Hmmm...this is a good questions. Probably the Australian Open because I would like to visit Australia! A very close second would be Wimbledon, because of the history and uniqueness of the tournament.
Let's play tennis in 2021!
