MESSAGE
A
fter attending our USTA Missouri Valley Annual Meeting this past December, I am more excited about the opportunities to grow the game of tennis than I have ever been in my life! The energy was awesome and the people were outstanding! We have such a strong staff and base of volunteers in our section that the sky is the limit during the next two years as I start my job as your president of the USTA Missouri Valley.
Juniors
Shelley George USTA Missouri Valley President
World TeamTennis 2008 Year in Review
“Although we have made great strides, now is not the time to sit back and enjoy our growth.”
Adults
Community tennis is the cornerstone of tennis in this country. If you are not involved in your local Community Tennis Association, get involved today! If there isn’t one in your community, start one. Don’t hesitate, participate, has always been my motto! It doesn’t matter if you are interested in juniors or adults because there are volunteer opportunities for both to grow the game. Jr. Team Tennis is growing by leaps and bounds, and programs are always looking for new volunteers to help organize and coach. Look for some exciting changes in our Jr. Team Tennis programs in 2009 that include uniforms and membership in the USTA.
Although we have made great strides, now is not the time to sit back and enjoy our growth. There are challenges with our economy that require us to be more creative in our approaches to continue to grow tennis. More than ever, the USTA Missouri Valley needs you to get involved! Contact your local CTA and district to find out how you can help. Volunteering is a very rewarding experience. I am so proud and thankful for the efforts that our current staff and extraordinary volunteers have made to grow the game in the Missouri Valley! Let’s make the next two years our best! Remember, don’t hesitate, participate!
Junior Camps
Tennis is on the rise and has been growing steadily since 2003. Ball shipments are up, more racquets are being shipped than ever before and more people are starting to play tennis and stay in the game that we all love. The USTA has launched a new format called QuickStart Tennis. The purpose of QuickStart is to introduce children to tennis with size-appropriate equipment and courts. The learning is faster and more fun for all kids. Jr. Team Tennis leagues using the QuickStart Tennis format are popping up all over the country and I can assure you that we will be leaders in the Missouri Valley, dedicating time and energy into launching successful QuickStart programs and tournaments everywhere. Look for volunteer opportunities in your communities to help QuickStart get off the ground in your town.
Our competitive play opportunities continue to get better and better throughout our section for juniors and adults. We had two Gold Ball singles winners from our great section in 2008 and we had strong representation at our USTA League National Championships throughout the country. Tennis on Campus continues to grow on college campuses, providing playing opportunities for all high school players to continue to play on a team even if they are not playing varsity tennis. The Missouri Valley continues to lead other sections in the number of campus programs, sending several teams to the Tennis on Campus National Championships in Cary, N. C., in 2008 and to Surprise, Ariz., this year. Membership continues to grow, USTA League participation is up and more kids are playing tournament tennis. The bottom line is that tennis is on the rise!

MESSAGE
I
want to thank everyone for the opportunity I have had to represent the USTA Missouri Valley as your president these last two years. As I traveled around the country attending various tennis meetings, it was more apparent than ever what a great section we have. I’ve listened to other section presidents talk about their internal troubles, squabbles and even lawsuits. Those are issues we just don’t have. What we do have are great volunteers and an energetic staff working together to promote and develop the growth of tennis. For a section our size, we are consistently at the top of the heap. Tennis enthusiasts around the country recognize us not only for our cohesion, but for our excellence. Keep up the good work. I know Shelley’s job as the incoming president will be easier due to your efforts.

This will be the year that we truly position tennis as a team sport. With our after-school and summer Jr. Team Tennis programs, having our 10-and-under players using the QuickStart Tennis format in a team approach is a win-win. Playing on an appropriate sized court using appropriate sized equipment makes for a great experience. More importantly, it creates an enjoyable introduction to tennis for players and parents alike! Great experiences will bring them back for more! We’re so lucky that players can experience both team and individual competition in our sport. You’ll also see more
None of this will be possible without the help of our dynamic volunteers! We need to harness the passion we all have for our sport to assist our CTAs and districts in recruiting new volunteers. A well-trained volunteer will have a great experience and will want to do more. Let’s all try to bring a new face into our volunteer family so that they can experience first-hand the passion and joy of our sport.
Junior Camps
For 2009 in the USTA Missouri Valley you’ll see a strong emphasis on play which begins with the QuickStart Tennis format focusing on the six to ten-year-olds. In addition, our USTA Jr. Team Tennis programs will start to incorporate the QuickStart Tennis format into their programming for those younger ages to experience tennis as a team sport right away. Our Tennis on Campus programs continue to grow and we have goals to continue to expand this program even further into our section. We will also continue our efforts to grow the adults, seniors, super seniors and super 70s leagues as well as tri-level leagues.

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.

2) Players who have participated in numerous section/national championships and gained a ranking high enough to be considered an outstanding player.
Adults
Steve Prosser DeSoto, Kan. Born into a tennis family, it was only natural that Steve would pick up the racquet at a young age. His parents, Len and Nora Prosser, have both been inducted into the USTA Missouri Valley Hall of Fame, Len in 1990 and Nora in 1997. Growing up in Kansas City, Steve attended Shawnee Mission East High School where in 1959, he became the Kansas State 6A High School Singles Champion. That year he also was the Missouri Valley Sectional 18 Doubles champion and reached the semifinals in singles. Following high school, he and his father traveled the country competing in multiple United States Lawn Tennis Association (later to become the USTA) National Father and Son tournaments. Steve has two silver balls to his credit. Len and Steve were USLTA National Clay Father and Son finalists in 1961 and 1962. Over a seven-year span beginning in 1967, Prosser and his friend David Bryant, another USTA Missouri Valley Hall of Fame Member (1999), won 54 doubles tournaments throughout Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

Patricia Graham Kansas City, Mo. In 1975, six years after she first picked up a racquet, Patricia earned a Missouri Valley ranking; something she would earn every year until 1993. She was also a nationally-ranked senior player since 1993. Playing was her passion, but she also gave back to the game through her decades of volunteering. She began serving as an officer on various committees in the Missouri Valley in 1973 and served for ten years. In 1989, she became president of the Heart of America district, a position she held for three years. For several years, she was chair of the Missouri Valley Adult Competition Committee and served as the vice-chair of the USTA Adult Competition Committee up until her passing in December. She was the tournament director of the USTA Women’s 65, 75, 85 National Indoor Championship from 1980-93 and has served as the tournament director of the USTA Women’s 40 National Indoor Championship and USTA Women’s 50 National Indoor Championship for the last four years. In addition, she has been the captain of the Maureen Connolly Cup team since 1992. “I’ve had a wonderful tennis career,” Graham said.

Jr. Team Tennis
Jr. Team Tennis offers youth ages 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. The QuickStart Tennis format is used with Jr. Team Tennis as well. 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 5 and 10 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.

Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the USTA Pro Circuit serves as America’s pathway to the US Open and tour-level competition. Since 1979, many of the best young players in the United States and beyond have launched their careers – and many established stars have re-started theirs – on the USTA Pro Circuit. The largest professional developmental tennis circuit in the world, the Pro Circuit annually hosts more than 90 events at public facilities and clubs around the U.S. This year in Missouri Valley, Pro Circuit events will take place in Wichita, Kan., Joplin, Mo., St. Joseph, Mo., St. Louis, Mo., Godfrey, Ill., and Tulsa, Okla., giving local fans a chance to see some of the top tennis players in the world playing in their own backyard. “The USTA Pro Circuit provides America’s top young players with the opportunity to develop their games and improve their rankings – all while competing for more than $3 million in prize money,” says Jim Curley, Managing Director, Tournament Operations, USTA. For 30 years the USTA Pro Circuit has served as a bridge between the professional ranks and the local communities, bringing more than just great tennis to each of the Pro Circuit’s 90-plus stops. Reaching out has always been an important part of the USTA Pro Circuit, allowing the players to give back to the fans and establishing a bond between the tournament and the local community. Last year was no different, with local efforts ranging from the $10,000 given to the Children’s Miracle Network by the Millennium Tennis Club Futures in Joplin, Mo., to the wheelchair clinic at the Futures event in Godfrey, Ill.

USTA Wheelchair Tennis is one of the fastest growing and most challenging of all wheelchair sports. To meet this demand, USTA Wheelchair Tennis offers programs geared towards the wheelchair player. Rules are the same as stand-up tennis, except the wheelchair player is allowed two bounces of the ball. Wheelchair tennis provides persons with disabilities the opportunity to share in activities with their peers and family, whether able-bodied or disabled. Playing wheelchair tennis adds to the socialization and the normalization of life for those who’ve had a disabling injury or illness. Proficient wheelchair users can play and actively compete against stand-up players. Wheelchair players can letter in tennis in high school and college. A wheelchair tennis player must have a medically diagnosed, mobility-related disability, with a substantial or total loss of function in one or more extremities. In wheelchair tennis, the player must master the game and the wheelchair. Learning mobility on the court is exciting and challenging, and helps build strength and cardiovascular ability. Wheelchair tennis players compete in able-bodied tournaments and leagues and can be rated according to NTRP characteristics. Nick Taylor (Wichita, Kan.) successfully

Nice article in CrossCourt (Winter 2008 issue) on the incoming president of the USTA Missouri Valley, Shelley George. It was a great opportunity for those not familiar with her to get to understand why we view her as such a great choice and such a valuable asset for our district, section and the USTA as a whole. Also, thanks for the nice article on Red Oak, our store, and Ann and I. Good to finally set the record straight, I was initially just a carpool ticket to her. Keep up the good work in the CrossCourt magazine. Mark Jackson Red Oak, Iowa Iowa District President

What’s Going on Around the Missouri Valley Recently, David Minihan, the director of tennis at the Westwood Tennis Center in Norman, Okla., was recognized by the USPTA as a Master Professional. Only about 1 percent of USPTA’s more than 15,000 members have achieved this distinction. Chase Hodges, head men’s tennis coach for the Drake Bulldogs (Des Moines, Iowa), recently was awarded the Campus Recreation Award by the ITA. This award honors coaches who have done an outstanding job implementing recreational tennis programs on campus. Three Missouri Valley community organizations have been awarded grants by USTA Serves, the foundation of the USTA. Two organizations were awarded grants by the USTA Public Affairs Committee which is seeking to reduce and prevent gang violence. Children & Family Urban Ministries of Des Moines, Iowa, was awarded $5,000 and the Genesis School of Kansas City, Mo., was awarded $15,000 towards their programs. The KIPP Endeavor Academy of Kansas City, Mo., was awarded $25,000 from the Aces for Kids initiative towards their programming as well. Aces for Kids is a national initiative of the USTA that is overseen by USTA Serves in conjunction with the USTA Public Affairs Committee. It strives to promote healthy lifestyles by combating childhood/adult obesity by providing disadvantaged, at-risk children the opportunity to learn to play tennis and improve their academic skills in a structured format; develop computer literacy; interact with a mentor and other students; and attend college preparatory sessions. Dustin Perry (Kansas City, Mo.) was named Prince Sports Sales Representative of the Year for 2008. Perry services players, clubs, coaches and academies in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Southern Illinois. This July, seven-time grand slam champions Bob & Mike Bryan along with Anna Kournikova will appear in the Missouri Valley playing for World TeamTennis franchises in Kansas City and St. Louis.

yler and Evan Acosta were initially skeptical of QuickStart Tennis. The format, a USTA initiative launched last year, reduces the size of the court and racquets to make tennis an easier game for younger players to learn. The kidfriendly specs aim to increase the length of rallies, making tennis more fun and competitive for all players. But for Tyler (age 9) and Evan (age 8) they had already been playing tennis for several years with, as Evan says, “big-kid nets� and were reluctant to change to smaller courts, smaller racquets and softer tennis balls.
34 CrossCourt Spring 2009 // missourivalley.usta.com
“We weren’t sure at first,” said Tyler. “We had played regular tennis for a while and it was weird to change.” The brothers play at Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield, Mo., where QuickStart – alternatively known as Play and Stay – has become a major part of the facility’s youth programs. Amanda Donat, Cooper’s assistant tennis pro, says that it has greatly helped young players pick up the game. “I’m a big believer in the format,” she says. “It’s worked for a lot of kids. They’re actually able to play tennis. Serving, returning, volleying – they’re doing all of that.” After their initial reluctance, the Acostas transitioned to the new format and have seen their games greatly improve. “I like it now because it’s easier to volley, and I feel like I’m playing real points,” Tyler said. Evan agrees, saying, “It was a good way to start off. It’s really fun to play longer points.” The increased ease of play has sparked a strong dedication to tennis in the brothers, who state that their goal is to someday win the US Open together in doubles. They play nearly every day in the summer months, sometimes staying at the courts for most of the daylight hours. “We’re like Venus and Serena,” said Evan. “Only we’re a boy version.” But perhaps the biggest influence for the brothers is another pair of racquet-wielding siblings – Bob and Mike Bryan, the No. 1-ranked doubles tandem in the world. Tyler and Evan dressed up like Bob and Mike for Halloween in 2007, and they’ve even perfected the famous Bryan Brothers chest bump as their on-court celebration. And as one might imagine, they were thrilled this past summer when they were able to meet Bob and Mike at a Springfield Lasers World TeamTennis match. They received autographs from the duo and also talked to Wayne Bryan, the pair’s father. “Wayne said that he’d be watching the TV for our names,” Tyler said. If the Acostas do eventually experience a Bryan-like ascension to the top of the world rankings, or even if they simply continue to grow and develop as tennis players, the simplified QuickStart format will have played a role in that progression. “Tyler and Evan were more developed than a lot of kids who begin [QuickStart],” said Donat. “But I think that’s a testament to the format. Learning to play out points is a big benefit. Hitting one or two shots on a full-size court isn’t a rally, and it doesn’t help young players to do it.” She continued, “And it’s not just small equipment for the sake of being small. There’s a lot of biomechanical research behind the format and how it’s better for kids to learn to play this way.” While scientific research and biomechanics may not be foremost on the minds of the young brothers, they seem to recognize that the format has played an instrumental role in their tennis lives. “It’s helped,” said Tyler. “I’m better now than I was before. Plus it’s fun to play.” He then looked at his brother, who replied in turn. “Yeah, it’s fun,” Evan said. “We really love tennis. And we want to play forever.”

I like it now because it’s easier to volley, and I feel like I’m playing real points.
What is
QuickStart Tennis is a targeted, tennis industry-wide path to making the game easier for young players. It is supported by the USTA, USPTA, PTR, TIA and equipment manufacturers. Making the courts smaller, similar to what other sports do with their games, is a proven method to teach the game to beginning players. Going Small
The courts are made smaller to ease the transition into a “full-court” game at the age of ten. For 8-and-under, children play on 36-foot courts. For children 10-and-under, they play on 60-foot courts. 1

Ryan Kalis
This “Getting to Know” segment is a feature of every issue of CrossCourt. We pick a Missouri Valley member who has an interesting personality trait, skill, or hobby. To suggest someone for this feature, email crosscourt@movalley.usta.com
his month, CrossCourt sat down with Park Hill High School (Kansas City, Mo.) tennis coach Ryan Kalis to discuss his lifetime involvement in the sport he calls his passion. Kalis has coached at Park Hill for eleven years and previously spent time coaching high school tennis in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, before moving to Kansas City. Kalis also plays World TeamTennis Corporate Leagues and recently won the national championship in his division.
CrossCourt: How did you first get involved with tennis? Ryan Kalis: When I was around 10 years old I started playing at the local country club in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and followed that up by playing at a local racquet club. I moved onto playing in USTA events before playing high school and college tennis at the University of Northern Iowa.
CC: Coaching tennis seems like a natural progression after playing for so long and at a high level. How did you get your start in coaching? RK: Tennis is a lifelong game for me and coaching is a way for me to be involved. I have a passion for the game and when I was playing, I had many great experiences with coaches along the way. Matt Knoll, my coach at UNI (currently men’s tennis coach at Baylor University), was phenomenal and someone I could look up to. I was already working towards being a teacher, so after college I had an opportunity to coach at Washington High School in Cedar Rapids and I took it. CC: What has been the most rewarding part of coaching for you? RK: Seeing the growth and progress of the kids along the way. They come out freshman year as novices, some of them have never even hit a ball in their life, and they end up a few years later playing competitively and playing for the varsity team. I also enjoy running into former students, and seeing them still involved with the sport. They still have love and passion for the game and I have always enjoyed watching that grow.
CC: You use a no-cut policy at your high school. Why did you decide to be a no-cut coach? RK: The bottom line is giving every kid an opportunity. My first year here, we only had about eleven or twelve students out for the team, which was barely enough to field a team and we were not that strong. I knew it would take numbers for success to come and the goal was to get as many kids out as much as possible. It’s a formula that has worked. I’m not required to be a no-cut coach, but I still am. CC: What are the benefits to the students on a no-cut team? RK: The worst time for teenagers is right after school, in the hours

between three and six. Not cutting kids keeps them interested, allows for more students to try out that may not have if I were to cut and it keeps kids working out. It provides something they can enjoy after school and it gives experience to kids whether they are a competitive tennis player or a novice. CC: You still have enough time to play competitively yourself. Tell me about your experience with World TeamTennis. RK: I play for a local team in Kansas City and I am in my third season with the team. Scott Hanover put together a team and two years ago we won the national championships at Indian Wells in California. We didn’t repeat, but we did return to nationals again last year. Hopefully, we will qualify for nationals again, and win again. Socially, the atmosphere is great and I love the format and variety of World TeamTennis. Through WTT, we got a chance to visit with Billie Jean King and I got a chance to get a feel for her passion and philosophy of the game. CC: What are your favorites places that the sport has taken you? RK: I am lucky enough have been to some of the pinnacle events in all stages of my tennis career. As a coach, going to Springfield, Mo., for the high school state championships is definitely a favorite memory of mine. As a fan, I have gotten the opportunity to see Wimbledon and the US Open. And as a player, going to Indian Wells in California for the national championships. CC: Playing tennis is better than…? RK: Better than playing any other sport. It is also better than watching it or being a casual observer of the game.
CC: What are your favorite non-tennis activities? RK: Spending time with my family and kids. I have a 5-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son. Whatever they are doing I get into and I love doing things with them. I also enjoy being a math teacher and working out.

2. Players must present a current USTA membership card, or new membership proof, prior to entry into Kansas District sanctioned tournaments.
6. To be ranked in doubles, players must play at least two tournaments sanctioned by the Kansas District with the same partner.
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.
7. Players must have a minimum of one win in the event they wish to be considered in for a ranking. The best FOUR results from Kansas District tournaments will be used for KDTA Adult Tournament rankings.
For junior rules, additional contacts, rankings and Kansas district information, visit kansas.usta.com
