LINE CALLS USPTA SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
President's Message Jeff Miller
My Fellow USPTA Southern California Members, I hope this message finds you well. This is not what I envisioned as my first newsletter message, but we are currently faced with unprecedented circumstances. I speak for the entire board when I express our disappointment in being forced to cancel our annual conference because of the pandemic. I know many people reading this message are unable to teach and are seeking creative ways to keep moving forward. I would urge each of us to look for the opportunities on the other side of what we are going through. How can we create something positive here? How can the tennis industry, as a whole, create something positive? I have seen virtual support groups created, online analysis from coaches and overall, a greater sense of community among our Southern California Pros and among the USPTA community nationwide. Now is the time for us to join together and support one another. I want to reassure each of you that the board, both individually and collectively, are here to serve you. We are a resource for education, the promotion of future local events and a sounding board to grow the game of tennis. If you need any assistance, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
