Last year 10 of the 16 communities in the USTA Southern Section that applied for the USTA Funded Market Grant were approved. This year, we have set our goals even higher! We are looking for at least 30 communities to apply for 2004. Funding to help grow tennis in your area is available from the USTA, but you have to complete the application to get your piece of the pie! The funding from the grant will help you recruit new players, retain the ones you have, increase the number of frequent players, and strengthen your CTA as a whole.
Also, you can dowload a brief application scorecard below that will be used to evaluate applications. The scorecard can be used as a checklist when filling out the application.
All applications must be received by October 24, 2003. Applicants will be notified in November. You must send the original application and one copy (2 total) to:
USA Tennis Community Development
USTA
70 West Red Oak Lane
White Plains, NY 10604-3602
If you have any questions about the application or would like assistance completing it, please call Hunter Hines at the USTA Southern Section Office at 770-368-8200. The staff at the USTA Southern Section is here to assist you in any way possible.
