President’s Message
I
hope everyone had a great year. 2008 promises to be even better. Congratulations to our League National Champions: the 4.0 and 4.5 Senior Men and 8.0 Mixed Doubles teams from Heart of America and the 9.0 Mixed Doubles team from Tulsa. Eric Bligard, Marissa Brown, Mel Brown, David Bryant, Richard Land, Nancy Popek, Barrett Scallet, and Jack Sock each won gold balls last year in national age/family divisions.
The USTA recently made two exciting announcements regarding player development. The new National Training Center East at Boca Raton, Florida, just opened at the Evert Academy. This state of the art facility specializes in developing our most promising teenage players into world class players. This spring, the USTA is rolling out QuickStart Tennis, a format for developing new players under the age of 10. It consists of a smaller court, softer foam balls, and appropriately sized racquets. Several European countries have been doing this for over 20 years. The ability of young players using this system to rally and develop their strokes is greatly improved, providing a better quality experience for them. The mission of the USTA and the Missouri Valley is to promote and develop the growth of tennis. However, as I travel around the country attending national tennis meetings, I never cease
to be amazed at all the problems other sections are having. It seems that some sections are more interested in pursuing frivolous lawsuits, petty grievances, and other actions that detract from their real mission. Those are issues that we just don’t have. In my opinion, the Missouri Valley is still the premier section. Our membership is up to an all-time high of almost 23,000 members. We also received a record number of tennis court construction grants from the USTA in 2007. What our section lacks in size, we make up for in quality and performance. Our staff is well trained, knowledgeable, and very professional. Our volunteers are dedicated and enthusiastic. The result is a team effort that benefits everyone. Want to have the time of your life? Pick up your racquet, head for the courts, and play some tennis. You can practice with a friend, play in a league, or enter a tournament. With so many options, what are you waiting for? Tennis truly is the sport of a lifetime.

Executive Director’s Message ow, another year has come and gone!
W
Another year of growth in the Missouri Valley as membership and frequent play continues to climb. What do we have in store for 2008? More of the same! In 2008, you’ll see a strong emphasis on inschool and after school programs using the USTA Jr. Team Tennis program. For those in elementary school, we’ll introduce the QuickStart Tennis format, which matches the court size, racquet size and ball type to the age of the player. It’s all about that positive first time experience. We want them to play junior high and high school tennis. Our Tennis on Campus programs will continue to grow at our universities and colleges. We encourage those high school players that want to continue their tennis in college to start a club team or join their existing club team. It’s such a fun way to meet other tennis players on campus. Tennis on Campus is boys and girls playing together in a team format. There’s some local play, a section playoff and national championships! Regular coed tennis play with a few road trips sprinkled in…who wouldn’t want to participate!? And we don’t want those club players to leave tennis after graduation, either. We
want them to “graduate” to a USTA Adult League presented by Chrysler. Our USTA Leagues continue to grow and now we’ve added another “step” to our sport for life… Super 70’s! We strive to create avenues which allow everyone to play. You should soon see promotions for Tri-level teams which is a great way to bring three NTRP levels together on one team! I hope each of you will find a place on our “path” to begin and continue your tennis journey. Your journey may begin on the court as well as off the court. We rely on our volunteer leadership to guide us in our mission to promote and develop the growth of tennis. We want our Community Tennis Associations to be the leaders in their tennis communities and be the training ground for district and section leaders. The success of our programs relates directly to our enthusiastic volunteers! Let’s have a great 2008! See you on the pathway to health and a sport for life.
Mary Buschmann USTA Missouri Valley Executive Director

Volunteers Tennis success starts with a good serve. That’s why, to fulfill its mission to promote and grow the game, the USTA depends on those who serve as volunteers. You don’t have to have the best serve on the court to be a big hit as a volunteer. The USTA provides training. We’ll find a volunteer opportunity that’s perfect for you! Event Volunteers help organize and operate Competitive Tennis and Community Tennis programs by assisting at tournament desks, messaging information between different event sites, participating on tournament committees, collecting results for the media, and distributing poster/flyers. Booth Volunteers provide information about USTA Missouri Valley programs to promote membership to the USTA at various trade shows and events throughout the section. Committee Volunteers assist in the planning, promotion and implementation of USTA programs through community development, outreach, fundraising, junior competition, leagues and more. Appointment to section committees is based on district involvement. For more information about volunteering, please contact your local district’s volunteer coordinator (pages 51-77).

2007 Annual Conference The ultimate battle: Brain vs. Brawn. The two intertwined in a weekend-long contest to see which district not only knew the game of tennis, but could also play it. The USTA Missouri Valley Annual Conference was held Dec. 7-9 at the Sheraton Hotel in Overland Park, Kan. Though the weather outside was not delightful for the 2007 conference, the participants that braved the snow and ice were rewarded with an abundance of information on the “tennis pathway”, and experienced fun and fellowship with USTA Missouri Valley staff and district personnel and volunteers throughout the three days. Meetings were held on nearly every USTA program area to review 2007 happenings and to chart the course for section-wide success in 2008. In addition, several key speakers attended this year’s conference to give attendees new information they could take back and implement in their districts and local areas. Those speakers touched on a variety of topics at the conference, from tennis parenting to political advocacy, with a little bit of everything sandwiched into the weekend’s proceedings. Baylor Director of Tennis Operations Matt Knoll gave an enthusiastic opening speech at the Coaches’ Clinic Friday morning, and spoke on a panel that included Syracuse assistant women’s coach Shelley George, who is also the USTA Missouri Valley VicePresident. Also speaking was the University of Missouri-Kansas City head coach Kendall Hale. Knoll later conducted a two-hour doubles clinic on a makeshift tennis court in the converted ballroom of the Anne Davis introduced the QuickStart Sheraton. Tennis format (above), while author Other presenters during the Bob Bigelow explained how we weekend included Scott Moody of should ‘just let the kids play’ (below). the Center for Athletic Performance, who spoke on injury prevention and muscle mechanics, and Sally Brown of BodyFuel, Inc., who urged attendees to be better informed with the nutritional choices they help young athletes make. Anne Davis (USTA National Product Manager, Recreation Programming) spoke about the QuickStart Tennis format for 10-and-unders coming in 2008, aided by Tulsa’s Director of Parks and Recreation Dean Richardville, who showed what the City of Tulsa is doing currently with its 10-and-under program in the parks. The city’s current program is a near model for what the USTA hopes to bring nationwide in 2008 with QuickStart Tennis.

Iowa won the Battle... but that didn’t stop St. Louis from enjoying trivia night.
Glenn Arrington (USTA National Manager Collegiate and Corporate Competition) relayed valuable information to attendees on the Tennis on Campus program and where it’s headed in the future. Other presenters included Darren Chong (Grassroots Enterprise), and Robin Jones (Cary, N.C.) of the USTA Advocacy Task Force. National Parks and Recreation President-Elect Jodie Adams (Springfield, Mo.) also spoke about the powerful role citizens have in the say of their public parks structure, and, in lobbying for a stronger tennis presence in their communities. The USTA Missouri Valley Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Ceremony was held on Saturday, highlighting many of the section’s achievements, volunteers and organizations in 2007. Three new Hall of Fame inductees – Barbara Fackel (Rock Island, Ill.), Ken Flach (St. Louis) and Bob McKinley (College Station, Texas) – were celebrated for their efforts with the Last year’s President’s Award winner, Ajay Pant served as sport and welcomed in as the 2007 Emcee for the Awards Luncheon. Hall of Fame class. Other off-court activities included a “Battle of the Districts Brain and Brawn” competition, which was won by the Iowa District. The Iowans proved their mettle in both areas, narrowly winning the Trivia Night portion on Friday, then outlasting the field in the annual on-court tennis competition held at Midtown Tennis Club. A junior doubles camp was also held at Kansas City Racquet Club on Saturday, and a Silent Auction was held on Friday and Saturday that raised nearly $4,000 for the USTA Missouri Valley Tennis Foundation. More than 240 participants registered for this year’s USTA Missouri Valley Annual Conference. Despite below freezing temperatures and ice and snow on the ground for all three days, the attendance was still strong. Thanks to all who made their way to Kansas City, and, especially to those who presented and made the weekend such a success. The 2008 Annual Conference will be held Dec. 5-7 at the Sheraton Overland Park.

Barbara Fackel Rock Island, Ill.
Barbara has been a volunteer with the USTA for the last three decades, serving in a variety of capacities at both the section and national level, and always with distinction. A former USTA Missouri Valley section president (1995-96), Barbara’s contributions to the growth of the sport have been many and varied, and always at a grassroots level. She is currently the chairperson of USTA Nominating Committee. Barbara has been actively involved in junior competition since 1980, beginning on the Missouri Valley Junior Tennis Council with her children’s involvement with the sport, all three of whom ended up playing college tennis at Division I schools. Currently the USTA Vice Chair of Community Development Committee, Barbara’s community tennis building footprints have been left in many areas throughout the nation, none more so than her native Quad Cities area. She has been given both the Eve Kraft Distinguished Service Award (1997) and the ITF Tennis Educational Merit Award (2007), two of the national governing bodies’ highest service awards. Ken Flach St. Louis, Mo.
Ken made his name early on as a highly-ranked junior in the section, coming out of the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood, Mo. His tennis education was shaped by his early instructors – Gloria Connors and Butch Buchholz, and he went on to become ranked No. 1 in the USTA Missouri Valley in boys’ singles each year. His first year of 14’s, he won the Orange Bowl in Doubles with Paul Annacone. He went on to star at nearby Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, winning the Division II singles and doubles titles three years running (1981-83) before turning pro with teammate Robert Seguso. Ken reached as high as No. 54 in singles on the ATP Tour, but his true success came in doubles. One of the greatest doubles players in US history, Ken won a total of 36 career titles as a professional, including six Grand Slam titles. Since retiring from the pro tour, Ken has been a USTA High Performance Developmental coach, and also served as the men’s tennis coach at Vanderbilt University from 1997-2005. Bob McKinley College Station, Texas
Bob McKinley grew up in the St. Louis area, and became a successful junior, claiming section titles in every age group despite growing up at roughly the same time as Jimmy Connors. Bob became the best junior in the nation before he went off to San Antonio, Texas, for Trinity University, where he would begin making a lasting mark on the school’s tennis history, as a player and coach. While at Trinity, McKinley earned All-American accolades all four years (1969-72), helping the Tigers to three straight NCAA finals (1970-72), including an NCAA team championship in 1972. He also reached the NCAA doubles finals in 1971 with Dick Stockton. Coaching at his Alma Mater (Trinity, 1975-84), McKinley had seven NCAA All-Americans, and reached NCAA team finals (1977, ’79) and compiled a 219-57 record at the school. He was also named the NCAA Men’s Coach of the Year in 1977. He is now the assistant men’s coach at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. His brother, Charles was inducted into the first Missouri Valley Hall of Fame Class in 1986.

Jr. Team Tennis Jr. Team Tennis offers youth age 6 to 18 the opportunity to play on co-ed teams that emphasize fun, fitness and friends. Leagues are composed of teams of boys and girls with similar abilities and ages that play regularly scheduled matches against other teams. TennisLink™, the online software, is available for organizing teams and leagues, collecting fees, and a number of other uses. Local teams have the opportunity to compete in a District Championship that leads to the USTA Missouri Valley Section Championship held in Kansas City, Mo. Winning teams advance to the Jr. Team Tennis National Championships. Starting in 2008, the QuickStart Tennis format will become an important part of Jr. Team Tennis. QuickStart Tennis is a new format to help kids ten and under learn and play the game. To make it easier for them, a few things were changed. The court sizes. The racquet sizes. The balls. The scoring system. Even the net height was adjusted. Now, any child between ages five and ten can start playing tennis almost immediately-even if he or she has never picked up a racquet before. Like other popular youth sports, QuickStart stresses the importance of play and team competition. QuickStart can be easily incorporated into existing programs as well as brand new startups. What does this new format mean? It means that even more kids will have the opportunity to experience this new format, have fun playing with their friends and develop skills that will become the foundation of their game.

Community Tennis Community Tennis Associations
Community Tennis Associations (CTAs) work with districts, sections and the USTA national office to deliver USTA programs to increase the number of new and frequent recreational and competitive players. CTAs, independent local tennis associations, offer those in their respective communities a variety of programs such as after-school tennis and USTA League Tennis. A CTA is an organized group of dedicated volunteers (parents, players) and professionals (teaching pros, coaches, park & recreation staff, attorneys or key business leaders) who come together to support community tennis programs or projects. As an association, a group of volunteers develop their vision for tennis, based on the needs of the community in which they live. CTAs coordinate and maintain programs and services, acting as advocates, program administrators, promoters and fundraisers. They are not-for-profit entities, and they are key to promoting and developing the growth of tennis in their local communities.

Adaptive Programming
Tennis Welcome Centers
Tennis is a sport without boundaries. Yes, there are lines on a court, but they are not there to exclude anyone. USTA Adaptive Programming recognizes four categories of differently-abled players: (a) Developmentally disabled (learning disabilities, autism, Down Syndrome, mental retardation, etc.) (b) Physically disabled (birth defects, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, etc.) (c) Consumers of mental health services (psychiatrically disabled, emotionally disturbed, etc.) (d) At risk / environmentally disabled (substance abusers, mentally and physically abused, homeless, HIV positive individuals, persons within the juvenile justice system, etc.) For each of these groups, USTA Adaptive Programming supports adaptive tennis programs, providing resources for specifically tailored programs that provide fun, fitness and a positive social experience for participants. Clinics and instructional programs are held throughout the Section, often in conjunction with agencies devoted to serving special populations within their respective communities. The enjoyment, physical well-being and contact shared by participants have proven to be positive sources of self-esteem, helping open doors to a more productive lifestyle.
Millions of Americans have tried tennis but left due to a poor introductory experience. They simply picked up a racquet and tried to play without the benefit of instruction or coaching. Research shows that when people are introduced to tennis through fun and organized instructional programs they keep playing. We need your help to attract and retain new players. As a Tennis Welcome Center, your tennis facility will benefit from the largest marketing campaign ever to introduce people to tennis “the right way,” so they keep playing! Through TennisWelcomeCenter.com, potential players enter their zip code and can find introductory instructional programs offered near them. Your facility or program name doesn’t change; you simply become part of a network of Tennis Welcome Centers welcoming new players to the game. Register as a Tennis Welcome Center: Visit TennisWelcomeCenter.com or contact your district Tennis Service Representative.

Getting to Know Alex Lee
Kansas’ Alex Lee is one of the more visible volunteers in the USTA Missouri Valley, and not just because he’s always on a tennis court, instructing young kids, playing in tournaments, or because he can’t get enough of the sport. Lee is Vice-President of the USTA Missouri Valley, serves on the USTA National NJTL Committee and has been involved with the USTA since 2000, beginning then as a key member of the Missouri Valley Multicultural Participation Committee. By day, Lee is an Information Technology Generalist for the aerospace company Spirit Aerosystems, but just about any other time of the day, you can find him with a racquet in hand, spreading a contagious enthusiasm for the sport of tennis. CrossCourt recently caught up with Lee to see how he was doing and learn a little more about him, and what’s going on in Wichita tennis-wise.
CrossCourt: How you were introduced to tennis?
Alex Lee: I first picked it up when I was a freshman in college at the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff in 1974. A friend of mine, Robert Harris, and maybe about four or five of us went out. Robert had bought a couple of racquets, and we went out to the courts on campus. I think it was kind of a natural thing for me (picking up the game). I played all winter long. We played literally everyday. I made the college team the next year, filling in a spot for someone. That started it all.
make sure I don’t go overboard when I meet new people and tell them about the sport. I love tennis so much and talk about it all the time.

Lee is pictured here with a few of his players from his program in Wichita.
CC: You’re very involved with the American Tennis Association (ATA), the oldest African-American sports organization in the United States. Tell us a little about ATA and what is going on with them. AL: I’m a life member of the organization and it’s tough to do as much with them, since I am heavily involved with the USTA. It’s a great organization with a great history and a great goal (to promote AfricanAmerican tennis throughout the United States). Right now, the ATA has a national tournament that they move around yearly. I go to that every year, and it’s a great experience.
CC: You’re on the USTA National Junior Tennis League (NJTL) Committee. What does that entail? AL: We’re engulfed in trying to develop our ‘best practices’ on what works for everyone, setting a roadmap. I know there’s a lot out there, but we’re really trying to develop some official documents and booklets that we can use no matter where we are in the United States. We try to help groups start after-school programs with educational components all across the country. We’re also really tapping into minds of people who work and are having success with NJTL programs to make even more stuff happen and further tennis and education in kids’ lives.
CC: What are the biggest obstacles and challenges to helping tennis

Alex Lee, his son Jermaine, and his wife Bobbie celebrated Jermaine’s graduation from Wichita State in 2006.
CC: How did you get into volunteering with the USTA? AL: I started volunteering in 2000 as the Kansas Multicultural Participation Chair. Fred Johnson (Missouri Valley Diversity Manager) recruited me. I had always played USTA tournaments and really never thought about the organization itself, how I could get involved. I decided that being a volunteer was a great way to help grow the game in the multicultural areas of Wichita. Here I am today, trying to figure out how to grow the game in the whole section. I remember early conversations with (USTA Missouri Valley past president) Verne Weber, when I would ask him about some of the volunteers that I had met. He always had great things to say about them, and I started to realize how important volunteers have been to the section.
CC: There is such a pure grassroots feel about tennis in Wichita. Talk about the city’s community involvement with the sport and how big tennis is there. AL: Tennis is very big here, and league tennis is especially strong. Everybody plays leagues. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that didn’t like tennis here. There’s always excuses for not coming out to play, but I tell them, “We’ll figure it out, let’s just get you out here.” There are a lot of beginning players (in Wichita) and a lot of them want to play. Even at work, I run into new potential players quite a bit. Several of them have come out to some of our events and clinics. I also have to
become more diverse in cities like Wichita and across the nation? AL: Helping diverse audiences become more competitive in all ranks is an obstacle. We need our Community Tennis Association’s and NJTL’s and all people to help identify and give our competitive players even more opportunities. We also have got to keep pushing for multicultural kids to just play, because if they will play, they will be competitive, and that shows others that tennis is a great option. Tennis is not thought of as one of those team sports like basketball or soccer. In my opinion, tennis is the best sport for development for youth. It has everything.
CC: You’re from Arkansas originally and you have a big family. How big is your family, and are they all tennis players? AL: I came from a small farm town, and we worked in cotton and hay fields all day. We did everything you could do on a farm. I had nine brothers and three sisters, so it’s a huge family. I’ve got four younger brothers and they all play tennis. One older sibling plays. But all of our kids play. We have family reunions now down in Pine Bluff, and we always head to the tennis courts when we’re there. I’m telling you, that’s all we do!
CC: What about your wife (Bobbie) and your son (Jermaine)? AL: That’s kind of a funny story with Bobbie. Since I’m always playing, I used to get asked, “Does Bobbie give you a hard time because you’re always at the courts?” I tell them, “Well, I got her to start playing and now she plays about as much as I do.” So now I don’t have to worry about her giving me a hard time (laughing). My son Jermaine also plays. It’s something he and I do together, and hopefully always will.” missourivalley.usta.com

Thinking Big Going Small
The industry’s comprehensive new plan for developing the sport for kids 10 and under – QuickStart Tennis - scales down the game, and hopes for many happy returns.
Connor Loftus (Overland Park, Kan.) has progressed considerably since picking up the racquet with the help of QuickStart Tennis.

orget what you knew or thought you knew about teaching and introducing young kids to the sport of tennis. A new era with a new format, a new look, and a comprehensive new way of doing things is upon us. The United State Tennis Association’s new QuickStart Tennis format is the national organization’s groundbreaking answer to not just developing interest in the sport, but rather sustaining it. Rolling out this March in over 1,200 facilities across the United States - including several in the USTA Missouri Valley - the initiative represents a radical paradigm shift in the ways of getting kids to see, learn, and participate in the sport. “The QuickStart Tennis play format is tennis scaled to the size of the child, utilizing age appropriate equipment, including smaller racquets, lower bouncing balls, and smaller courts,” said Kurt Kamperman, Chief Executive, Community Tennis, USTA. “By enabling kids to start playing right away, we are allowing them to learn as they play.” What that means is the USTA - in conjunction with industry partners like the Tennis Industry Association (TIA), and teaching organizations like the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) and Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) - is thinking big….by going small. Even manufacturers are on board to mass produce equipment like mini-nets, age-appropriate racquets and balls. What this vast industry-wide format aims to do is standardize the game for those at younger ages (5 to 10 years old), bringing the game down to a level they can understand and translate right away, and be successful at. Other sports like baseball, basketball and soccer have long possessed more beginner-friendly ways of easing youth into the competitive fold, with retro-fitted equipment and fields, alternative scoring formats and shorter-timed games and matches. Predictably, those sports have had the most success attracting and keeping 40 CrossCourt

participants. American tennis has, until now, been reluctant to adopt a standardized format with equipment and court dimensions specific to kids. Pilot programs in USTA Missouri Valley like Tulsa, Okla. and Overland Park, Kan., have already proven successful in not just attracting kids to tennis, but in quickly developing their technique and understanding of the game. But the biggest thing is kids are having fun with the sport. “It’s not rocket science what we’re doing,” said Dean Richardville, Tulsa Parks Director of Recreation. “It’s changing from the norm, though. It’s a little more set-up time to go through for a pro or recreational program to lay out the courts, but it’s worth it for the kids to have a positive experience.” Other sports have also had one big edge that, until now, tennis in America has been lacking: Structured team

competition for the youngest ages. Tennis has lost many a young player just because they found other sports first, since those sports had organized team competitions, where kids could embrace and love a new sport with their friends. The USTA will apply the existing Jr. Team Tennis model to QuickStart Tennis, hoping to create legions of tennis teams for children 5 to 10 years old, akin to Little League Baseball or Pop Warner Football. If QuickStart Tennis facilities like Tulsa Parks are any indication of the potential team interest on the horizon, then the USTA and the whole tennis community is onto something special with the format. Tulsa’s program was bursting at the seams after the offering last summer, and kids especially took to the team tennis concept and more user-friendly
equipment. “When you think about it, there are 300,000 kids playing high school tennis every year,” said Scott Schultz, USTA Managing Director, Recreational Tennis. “I don’t think we’ve ever really gone after the 10-and-under market with a concerted, dedicated effort like this, and I’ve been in the sport for 30 years. Our push has always been for kids of middle/high school ages, but kids certainly might choose tennis earlier if we offer them that opportunity. Our theory is, ‘Why make them wait until high school? Let’s get them started now.’” Using mini-nets 18 feet long and twofeet-nine inches tall and courts marked off at 36 feet long x 18 feet wide (ages 8 and under), and 60 feet long x 21 feet Photo courtesy of Dean Richardville/Tulsa Parks Youngsters have taken Tulsa tennis courts by storm with the implementation of QuickStart Tennis last summer. wide (ages 10 and under), the capability to get more kids on a single court is an lessons since last June at Midtown Tennis Club using the new appealing concept and sensible business proposition for format. many facilities.

She’s already dressed and ready to go.” growing up, but (QuickStart Tennis) is so much more That’s really the ultimate goal with QuickStart Tennis, sophisticated,” said Jackie Adriano (Leawood, Kan.), whose having new, young players like Adriano experience success seven-year-old daughter Kathleen has been taking tennis and joy. It could be the start of something beautiful.
The Ins & Outs of QuickStart Tennis Industry-supported: QuickStart Tennis isn’t just a USTA concept. It is a targeted, tennis industry-wide push. All industry partners from the USPTA, PTR, TIA and equipment manufacturers are part of the process, and have embraced the format as the best way to increase the number of beginning players in the 5 to 10 age range.
Equipment: Easy to set up lines, low compression balls and mini-nets are available from manufacturers like Prince and Wilson already. Low-cost alternatives for nets like painter’s tape and masking tape for lines (to mark off on the court) are also easily available.
It’s in the details: Standardization will run across the QuickStart Tennis format, from age-determinant racquet lengths and ball usage, to court sizes, scoring formats and even lesson length and practice schedules. Jr. Team Tennis: One of the biggest components of QuickStart Tennis is that very young kids will now be able to play on teams and leagues as part of Jr. Team Tennis squads for their age groups. Until now, kids have had to wait until they were at middle school age to play Jr. Team Tennis or for their school team. Not any longer. Trainings and resources available: The USTA recognizes that this is a brand new format. To get everyone on the same page, the national governing body offers Recreational Coach Workshops (RCW’s) to indoctrinate instructors & parents to the QuickStart Tennis methodology. A host of support materials, a dedicated website, and your local district, section and USTA national office staff are here to help you learn more about the new format.
A standard tennis court can be turned into four 36-foot courts for 8 and under players. The 60-foot court is for 10 and under players.

Something to Crow About A $50,000 grant from the USTA, a community-wide effort, and help from one of Kennett, Missouri’s most famous residents is hoping to turn a once-vibrant tennis community into one again by Jeff Sikes
Wendell Crow knew something was amiss. Each time Crow stepped on to the Kennett (Mo.) High School tennis courts in his hometown his serve really kicked, and it wasn’t because of the natural spin he imparted on the ball. A solid player with more than a half century of tennis experience, Crow is a man with a deep knowledge and passion for tennis. But even he knew that when a ball bounces up over a man’s head after a well-placed serve tickles a gaping crack or pothole, something’s not right. It wasn’t right, and it hadn’t been for a long time for the tennis community of Kennett. The six high school courts Crow and his community shared were far removed from their original pristine state. Time and frequent play by the city’s tennis patrons had degraded the courts to a sad and sorry state of cracks and potholes usually reserved for old country roads. “It was like playing a different sport out there,” said Crow, who grew up playing tennis in nearby Caruthersville, on a family court built by his father Charles, a former Missouri high school state champion. Still, the courts were the only ones in Kennett, a town of around 12,000 people nestled in the southeast “boot heel” corner of Missouri. Many locals had Photo courtesy of Jack Rollins Mary Buschmann (far left), Kennett girls’ tennis coach Janet given up tennis, Hilburn, Wendell Crow, and Matt Shetley (president of the preferring to find Kennett, Mo. school board) accept the check from the USTA at safer sporting the January City Council meeting. activities, one that didn’t include having to navigate courts that resembled the surface of the moon. The boys’ team had even folded a few years back because of lack of interest, no doubt from court conditions. True diehards like Crow and the school’s girl’s team were the only ones who remained. But the girls had to practice on them. “The back of the courts had some areas so torn up that footwork was really tricky,” said Crow. “Of the six courts that were there, maybe one or two were what I would call playable. ” Dollars were needed to redo the surface that had been decimated by water drainage issues. Quite a few dollars, in fact. Estimates put the price tag of a complete fix at nearly $275,000, 42 CrossCourt

a costly one for a school the size of Kennett. A school capital improvement project for the courts helped them earn $100,000 toward their goal, but the total funding was still a long way off. “(Fixing the courts) had always been on the school board’s radar, but so many other school priorities just came first,” said Kennett superintendent Jerry Noble. “We were concerned because for years we’ve had great community participation in recreational tennis on these courts. You seldom could go by without players being on them. But, we were getting to the point where it was a potential liability issue for us, and thinking we might have to close it down. We simply didn’t have the money to renovate it. Of course, the USTA and Sheryl came through, and that changed it all.”
Kennett’s Most Famous Alumnus Sheryl is Wendell’s daughter; also known as Sheryl Crow. Yes, the Sheryl Crow who happened to grow up in Kennett, went to KHS, and is better known to the world as the 10-time Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum recording artist. Crow matched the contribution of her former school bringing them tantalizingly close to the total needed. How the USTA got involved to bring that total even closer was an interesting aside to the story. Knowing her dad was a tennis nut, Kennett High School’s most famous alumnus had purchased a unique 75th birthday gift for her dad at a celebrity auction last year. The gift? A chance to Photo courtesy of SherylCrow.com play on Arthur Ashe Stadium Court at Hometown girl: Sheryl Crow the US Open with the legendary Billie donated $100,000 to complete tennis court renovations in Kennett. Jean King. Wendell was psyched, and to prep for his big day, all spring and summer long he’d go up to the courts and workout with longtime KHS girls’ coach Janet Hilburn. On a trip back home last June during one of HIlburn’s summer clinics, Sheryl visited the courts to see her nephews and dad in action, and even batted a few balls around (Crow was an All-State track athlete at KHS). “She came out and took pictures of her nephews who were in my clinic, and after it was over, she said, ‘I want to hit some’,” said Hilburn. Taken aback by the poor condition of the courts, Crow vowed to see what she could do. “I think she saw the shape the courts were in, and just wanted to help,” said Hilburn, who has coached the girls team for the last 14 years, and could only remember slight patchwork fixes to the courts in that time. “It was such a blessing. After that, everything kind of fell into place.” The whole Crow clan flew to New York for Wendell’s big day at the end of the summer, taking in the men’s final with King. It was King who told the Crows to inform Kennett officials about approaching the USTA to see about additional funding opportunities for the school. Wendell had an easy in with that, since he works with school
board president Matt Shetley. The school board followed up, applied for a USTA Tennis in the Parks grant in early fall of last year, and received $50,000 to help their project. Crow’s generosity, coupled with the USTA pushed them even closer to their target, so school officials decided to move the tennis court reconstruction project up on their list. The girls’ team even wrote handwritten letters to King to thank her for her advisory role.
Putting tennis back on the map Construction on the courts has gone great since late last year, and is set to be completed this March, giving the school and the community of Kennett a shiny new tennis home. “They were scary to play on, and nobody, especially other teams wanted to play on our courts,” said junior Brook
Burcham, a member of the Lady Indians tennis team. “I’d twisted my ankle on them before, so I knew all about it. I think the whole team is really excited about this, and I know I am very excited to get to at least play one season on them.” The 25-member girls’ team was put out a little last fall, having to travel to Jonesboro, Ark. to practice last season, but is looking forward to playing on their own home courts in 2008. The boys’ team is also hoping to be re-formed, starting next year. Hilburn’s tennis clinic, which attracts about 75 area kids each June, should have strong numbers this summer. The school’s six new courts, the only courts in the city, will also allow the city to play host to more school and regional

events, and even local tournaments. In short, tennis is back on the map for this small community. Excitement crested when USTA Missouri Valley Executive Director Mary Buschmann dropped the USTA’s check off this January at a city hall meeting. Buschmann spoke with school officials and administrators to see how things were progressing, and explained that the relationship the school and the tennis organization have formed is just in its infancy. Going forward, there are many wonderful possibilities to expand the game in Kennett, and that has everyone excited about its future. The game in Kennett was a breath away from collapsing, and now looks potentially stronger than ever. “I really believe these improvements will revive tennis in Kennett,” said city school board president Matt Shetley, whose daughter Susan is on the team. “Competitive tennis had suffered so much because of the condition the courts were in. With the improvements, I think that will be solved quite a bit, and I believe we will see more people here coming back to tennis as a ‘fun’ form of exercise.” And that’s something to Crow about.

2007 The Year That Was
2007 was another successful year of tennis in the USTA Missouri Valley, as the section hit all-time record high numbers in several key categories. From membership numbers to player participation at the junior and adult levels to public funding and Web site traffic, the section is proud of its 2007 achievements. Take a look back at 2007 - then look forward to a great ‘08!
TENNIS MONTH Several key events were held, and helped shine a bright light on tennis in our area, including a Regional Community Tennis Development Workshop in Oklahoma City, the Division III NCAA Championships in St. Louis, and the Big 12 Championships in Kansas City. Seventeen Tennis Block Parties were held, many during the Tennis Month of May, with at least one in each of the section’s seven districts. These parties bring out the best in community tennis, and introduce many to the sport.
NCAA SUCCESS STORIES Former junior standouts are making their tennis mark all over the country. Brook Buck (Yukon, Okla.) and Kelcy Tefft (Enid, Okla.) teamed up to win an Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) national championship. At the same championship, Ryan Rowe (Moline, Ill.) reached the singles final. Travis Helgeson (Overland Park, Kan.) won the singles final at the Polo Ralph Lauren All-American Tennis Championship. Helgeson was also selected to be a member of the 2007 Pan-American team. Rowe and Helgeson were also named to the ITA’s All-American team. Jennifer Luten (Clayton, Mo.) earned All-New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) honors in women’s tennis for the fourth straight year, and Garrett Gates (Fariway, Kan.) of Bowdoin College earned NESAC Conference men’s honors for the third. Amanda Craddock (St. Louis) helped Georgia Tech win the NCAA Women’s team championship.
Travis Helgeson led his Georgia Bulldogs to a NCAA National Championship.
STAR POWER The Missouri Valley also played host to various tennis pros, current and former at events all across the section. Serena Williams was here twice at a St. Louis Aces match and the Rock-n-Racquets event in Omaha, Neb., where she teamed up with Andy Roddick. The Missouri Valley also welcomed Pete Sampras, Anna Kournikova, Bob and Mike Bryan and Meghann Shaughnessy. Tracy Austin also came to host a Cardio Tennis clinic.
Undefeated At left, Cameron Hubbs (Omaha, Neb.) finished her high school career 117-0. As a result of her feat, she was featured in Sports Illustrated in May 2007. 44 CrossCourt

PUBLIC FACILITY GRANTS Public Facility Funding remains a strong point, as $197,804 in grants were given to help with facilities in Missouri (Kennett, Rogersville and Rolla), Nebraska (Kearney), and Oklahoma (Bartlesville, Enid, and Norman). That total represented nearly a 50 percent jump from 2006, and will go a long way toward increasing program offerings and tennis infrastructure in the section.
USTA LEAGUE TENNIS CROWNS FOUR NATIONAL CHAMPIONS League participation, long a staple of success in the section, continues to excel. USTA League Tennis programs saw nearly 10 percent growth across the board, and the section had one of its most successful years ever at the USTA League National Championships, picking up victories in Men’s Senior 4.0 and 4.5, as well as Mixed Championships at the 8.0 and 9.0 levels.
The 9.0 Mixed Doubles team from Tulsa, Okla., captained by Bryan Dick won the national championship.
Jim Lewis (left) and Kevin Green (right), both of St. Louis celebrate their 2007 US Open National Championship victory. Lewis also became the first wheelchair league player in our section in 2007.
WHEELCHAIR The 2007 USTA/ITA National Collegiate Wheelchair Championships were held at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Ken., March 17-18, and native St. Louisan Kevin Green pulled off the double dip, winning the singles and doubles titles. Jim Lewis of St. Louis recorded a double-dip of his own, winning the ‘A’ division of both the singles and doubles championships at the US Open USTA National Championship.
DIVERSITY EFFORTS EXPAND Diversity efforts are an unwavering focus. The section played a part in Hispanic cultural events in Jefferson City, Mo. and Garden City, Kan., and was a key partner to the North American Indian Tennis Association (NAITA) National Championships in Tulsa, Okla. in May 2007. The NAITA event will be held in Topeka, Kan., in 2008 and 2009, giving the section a chance to further cement our relationships within the Native American tennis-playing population.
SCHOOL TENNIS GROWS Nearly 50,000 children were taught the sport in schools in our section in 2007. That number should increase as we roll out the innovative QuickStart Tennis format to schools and Jr. Team Tennis programs in 2008.
TENNIS ON CAMPUS BOOMS Our Tennis on Campus program is beginning to take root, too. 29 schools now have programs, and our championship event is gaining interest and participants each year.
A WORLDLY HONOR Longtime USTA Missouri Valley official Donna Farley was selected for a big honor. The 15-year official and North Liberty, Iowa, resident was chosen as one of five international referees who officiated at the Special Olympics World Summer Games held in Shanghai, China, Oct. 2-11, 2007.

Dynamic NTRP Overview The use of a dynamic rating system is predicated on having the ability to get the match results into the national database quickly and easily with the help of team captains to report scores. The USTA’s automated data management system, TennisLink™, integrates the national database and the NTRP program to provide a seamless flow of information. TennisLink provides: • Significantly improved team registration, membership and eligibility management • Increased efficiency in match scorecard entry • Automated standings and a Championship module Information for new USTA League Tennis players If you’re a new player to USTA League Tennis, you will benefit from ease of entry and the elimination of on-court verification and its associated costs and time. New players enter the program by rating themselves using the NTRP General and Specific Characteristics of Various Playing Levels, located in “National Tennis Rating Program” on the USTA League Tennis Web page and in various USTA publications. Many of you should be able to self-rate accurately…do you play with league players who currently have computer ratings? Knowing their ratings, where would you place yourself? TennisLink will provide a self-rating declaration box for new
50
players at the time of registration. New players will begin to generate a dynamic NTRP rating after their first match against a player who has an NTRP computer rating. Information for returning USTA League Tennis players If you’re a returning USTA League Tennis player you will begin your league season with your current NTRP computer rating. If you received your computer rating before the 2004 League year, you may self-rate to enter the program. Computer ratings will stay in the system for 3 years for Adults and 2 years for players 50 years or older. Disqualification Dynamic NTRP ratings will be run by the computer to determine if any players are “clearly above level” using the current Disqualification Procedure Guidelines. Players will be disqualified if they achieve the currently established “clearly above level” status three times based on all matches reported in the national database for Adult and Senior Divisions. This includes all match play in Adult and Senior divisions in all sections. Remember, you must reach this disqualification level three times during the championship league year in order to be disqualified. Visit missourivalley.usta.com for regulation updates

Adult Rules 1. Player must be a resident of the state of Kansas, a member of an armed forces family stationed in Kansas, a non-citizen holding a green-card, or a student who attends a Kansas school and maintains a Kansas District residence on their USTA membership. 2. Players must present a current USTA membership card, or new membership proof, prior to entry into Kansas District sanctioned tournaments. 3. The USTA computer ranking system of points per round reached is used by the Kansas District for ranking procedures. This system allows for additional ranking points to be awarded for more participation by a player, as well as for participation in heavier weighted tournaments. 4. The ranking committee will determine which tournaments will be weighted
heavier for ranking purposes. For 2006, additional points will be awarded for participation in one of the listed tournaments from each of the four geographical tournament areas: Kansas State Open, Kansas State Closed, Mid-Continent Open, and the Topeka Jayhawk Open. The season-ending Tournament of Champions will also be weighted heavier, as well as any other tournament with a singles draw of more than 16 participants or doubles draw of more than eight teams. 5. To be ranked in singles, players must play a minimum of two tournaments sanctioned by the Kansas District. 6. To be ranked in doubles, players must play at least two tournaments sanctioned by the Kansas District with the same partner. 7. Players must have a minimum of

If a player is NTRP rated, they may not participate or be ranked in a level lower than their NTRP rating. 9. If a player enters a tournament but finds they will not be able to participate, they must notify the tournament director at least one day prior to tournament start. Entering of a tournament as a noshow will not count positively towards the requirement of participation for rankings. 10.

Nebraska Endorsements Nebraska Procedures for Endorsement Objectives: The first objective is to provide a format that allows the top Nebraska players to play against each other. The second is to determine Nebraska’s two quota spots into USTA Missouri Valley Super Events in each of the three Segments. The endorsement process is one of three routes to participation in these tournaments. The other two routes are by receiving an at-large berth from the USTA Missouri Valley into these tournaments; or by receiving a wildcard berth. (See the USTA/Missouri Valley Junior Section for details.) Nebraska endorsement tournaments may use a special feed-in or compass draw format determined by the NTA Junior Competition Committee. If a player declines to accept a quota spot into the USTA/Missouri Valley Super Tournaments, the player who finishes in the next place shall be given the spot. Domicile or Residence Requirement. The following players are eligible to play in any Nebraska Endorsement or Missouri Valley Section event held in the Nebraska district: 1. U.S. citizens who are domiciled in the area under USTA Nebraska District jurisdiction; 2. Aliens listed in USTA Regulation VII.A.2.a. who are domiciled in the area under USTA Nebraska District jurisdiction;(A student visa is not sufficient.) and 3. Children of members of the United States military whose family temporarily resides in the area under USTA Nebraska District jurisdiction. Players who do not meet these requirements
USTA Missouri Valley

The remaining positions in the tournaments are determined by try-outs supervised by the NTA Junior Competition Committee. The competition is played over two weekends and uses a special round robin format developed by the NTA Junior Competition Committee.
Boys 14, 16, 18 Divisions The Segment II Endorsement tournaments for boys age divisions 14, 16, and 18 will be divided into a pre-endorsement stage and an endorsement stage. The state will be divided into four regions, each which will host a pre-endorsement tournament. The preendorsement tournament will be held either the first or second weekend in May. The format is a full feedin to the quarter finals, for both the Pre-endorsement and the Endorsement.

Adult & Junior Rules ADULTS RANKINGS: To obtain a District ranking in singles, a player must play a minimum of two (2) sanctioned tournaments in the same division, in which the player wants to be ranked. For a team doubles ranking, a doubles team must play together in at least two (2) sanctioned tournaments in the same divisions. ** We now have an “Individual” doubles ranking. To obtain a ranking as an individual in doubles, you must play in two sanctioned tournaments of the same division (i.e. open, 4.0 men’s, etc). JUNIORS RANKINGS: A player’s year-end ranking will be the cumulative record for 12 months, not per segment. Rankings will be based on the “points per round” system. To be eligible for a district ranking, a player must participate in two St. Louis district sanctioned events in the calendar year in the same age bracket. ENDORSER TOURNAMENTS: Parent and player addresses MUST be listed inside the St. Louis district to be eligible to play in the district endorsers. The boys 16’s and 18’s will have two endorser tournaments for Segment II in January/February. The girls 14’s, 16’s and 18’s may or may not have more than one endorser for Segment III depending on the Missouri Valley schedule. For all segments, St. Louis has been allotted two spots per age division in the section Super tournament. If there are two endorsers during a segment, the St. Louis district will endorse the winners in each age division in each tournament for the Super. The winners of the first endorser in a segment cannot
76
play in the second endorser. They are already qualified for the Super. If only one endorser is played in a segment, the top two finishers in each age division will be endorsed for the Super. A player may withdraw from an endorser tournament before the draw is made without incurring suspension points. A player can “play up” in any district tournament except endorsers. SUPER TOURNAMENTS: The Missouri Valley section generates an at-large list for every Super. If a St. Louis district player is ranked in the top 13 of his/her age division, the player will be selected to play in the Super without having to play the district endorser. If a player is unsure about a chance of getting into the Super as an at-large, the player should participate in the district endorser. AGE REQUIREMENTS: A player is age eligible for an event if the player does not exceed the maximum age of the division the month of the tournament. SEEDING: Seeding is based on the most current Missouri Valley standing list in each age division. NOVICE CIRCUIT RULES: Eligibility rules for participation for the St. Louis District Closed Novice circuit and tournaments are: (1) a player cannot be in the top 15 in the St. Louis district standings, (2) a player cannot be in the top 30 in the Missouri Valley standings and, (3) a player cannot be in the top 150 in the national standings.
