ITA Coaches Convention handout
The link above is to the handout given to attendees at yesterday’s “listening” meeting at the ITA Coaches Convention in Naples, Florida. The pages are reversed – my apologies for not being able to figure out how to edit them in Adobe – so be sure to scroll to Page 2 for the details. NOTE: Lew Brewer just emailed me a cleaner version of the handout which I’ve linked to above.
The meeting was led by outgoing USTA president, Jon Vegosen, and incoming USTA staff liaison to the Junior Competition Committee, Bill Mountford. Lew Brewer was also in attendance. For more information on the meeting, please see today’s ZooTennis post by clicking here – Colette was there and gives a very thorough analysis.
One thing I still don’t understand is how USTA can say one of the goals of these 2014 changes is to push competition back into the sections while it makes NO PROVISIONS for the sections to add tournaments to their schedules. Can someone at USTA please explain that one to me? It’s a question I plan to ask at the “listening” meeting in Atlanta next month.
I urge everyone to attend one of the remaining “listening” meetings and/or to email [email protected] with your thoughts regarding the 2014 Junior Competition changes. If you need a refresher on the exact changes, please click on the 2014 Jr Comp Info tab above.
