Dear Coach:
The USTA/Eastern Section and the USTA
A mailing has just gone out to junior
players. We are expecting at least 150
high school seniors and 150 high school juniors. The participants will be
mostly of nationally, sectionally and regionally ranked players from
We have done a number of things to improve the
experience this year. First, we have
divided the day between high school seniors and juniors to allow the coaches
more time with seniors. (This also gives us the ability to invite more
players.) Second, we have added some
informal seminars to keep the coaches busy while the juniors look over the
materials from your schools. Third, we
are working with high school coaches to make sure that high school players (who
don’t always play USTA tennis) have the opportunity to come.
The final change this year is that we have
decided to charge a nominal fee for coaches.
While the latter may seem like a disadvantage to you, we think that it
will improve the situation for all and avoid the confusion from last year. Last year we had 110 coaches around the
Player’s Lounge. This year we are
reconfiguring to allow for more and will assign the tables as the registration
forms come in. The fee ($100 for a full
table; $55 for a half table) will guarantee a pre-reserved table; player
