Southern Charm On & Off the Court!
The USTA Southern Section is doing some great things for the sport of tennis. With a section that spans across 9 southern states, in this episode you will hear it's no secret this section is loaded with Southern Charm! Ted Reese (Vice President USTA Southern; National USTA Committee Chair) and Kelly Hesketh (USTA Southern Section Tennis Service Rep) explain all the ways their teams are helping grow and promote tennis from creating leagues of players at all levels and ages who enjoy the physical, mental and social parts of the game to creating programs for first time players, like "Try Tennis." They have programs that help ensure local parks have courts that are kept up so anyone can play for free; they promote wheelchair tennis; they are keen on junior development; and there are some great players coming out of this section!
