Spotlight on Officials
Meet Katherine Brock
I was first introduced to tennis in 2008 in Macon, GA when my sons took lessons in an afterschool program.  Not long after learning to play myself in 2009, I and a tennis friend decided we wanted to become USTA officials because we were fascinated with the game and wanted to see it from a new perspective. After certification, I worked as a USTA and ITA official/referee in Atlanta for 6 years. I was also the Youth Tennis coordinator for the City of Perry, GA.
Upon moving to Oxford, Mississippi, I was the referee for all the Oxford, MS USTA tournaments and the Referee for the State of Mississippi HS State Championships. Later in Oklahoma, I worked at facilities in Norman and Edmond, as well as worked ITA at Univ of Central OK.  
I moved to NM, retiring in Dec, 2020 as a National Park Service, U.S. Park Ranger (EMT and Wildland Firefighter) for over 26 years, and later an Administrative Officer for the Dept of Justice, US Marshals Service for 7 years. I began officiating in NM in Sept.2021.

I continue to play tennis and captain USTA Doubles & Mixed Doubles teams. I currently captain a WTT Team and am planning a 55+ USTA Women's team this summer. Outside of tennis, I'm a mother of five, and a grandmother of 8. I enjoy ceramics and traveling by car over 25,000 miles a year with my husband Irv of 25 years to tennis tournaments, USTA/ITA assignments and to visit family and friends in both the US and Canada. We live in Rio Rancho, NM.
