President’s Welcome Message
Back in full swing!
On behalf of the USPTA Florida Board welcome to the 2023 USPTA FL Division Convention! I hope you enjoy the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort & Spa with all the amenities it has to offer during your stay. The Florida board has been working hard to get many new and diverse speakers this year including the demand for pickleball seminars! We hope you enjoy the education but also take some time to relax and spend time with your family and friends.
On Thursday morning, we start with a specialty course with Mark McMahon and the golf scramble at 12:30. Our welcome reception cocktail party with hors d’oeuvres is on Thursday night at 6:00 PM sponsored by Welch Tennis! We also have Yoga for Tennis Friday & Saturday morning that will count for educational credits this year. A new event this year on Friday morning is a breakfast & brainstorming with roundtable discussions headed by a division leader. After a huge success last year our vendor trade show coffee meet and greet is back with lots of new vendors. Another change this year is a USPTA FL Awards Luncheon on Saturday to celebrate all our 2022 award winners. Afterwards we head to the pools and outdoor activities for cocktails and networking!
The USPTA Florida Division is always looking to raise the standard and lead the way by offering quality education and speakers for your continuing education and growth as a tennis-teaching professional in our industry. I hope you enjoy the convention and thank you for your continued support of the best division in the country again in 2023!
Joe D’Aleo – USPTA Florida Division President
