The Best is Yet to Come

n 2009, tennis again grew leaps and bounds. For the first time in nearly twenty years, there are 30 million frequent tennis players across the country.

That success is because of the countless and tireless staff and volunteers that make our game flourish and our organization great.

As we look towards the future, we must ask ourselves: What will the next decade of tennis look like?

QuickStart Tennis, the format for beginning youth players is starting to take hold across the country.

Tennis pros and parents alike are seeing the benefits of teaching kids to play with appropriate sized equipment and courts. By utilizing all six components of the QuickStart Tennis format, kids are seeing quick success and are staying with tennis longer than ever before.

Look for QuickStart tournaments and USTA Jr. Team Tennis 10 and under teams in your area soon. If you can’t find any, help start some!

Tennis must always be a sport where friends can come together and play. That’s what USTA Jr. Team Tennis is all about: Fun – Fitness – Friends. Kids play together on one team all the way to the National Championships.

The Tennis on Campus program continues to explode in numbers. Colleges and universities all across the USTA Missouri Valley have club teams on their campuses and for the first time ever, 15 different schools competed in the USTA Missouri Valley Campus Championships just last month. In Tennis on Campus, we have found a bridge from the junior circuit and high school competition all the way to adult league play.

Our USTA League program continues to grow as well. Last year our section championships were held in three of our seven districts. Oklahoma City, Springfield, Mo. and St. Louis hosted over 2,000 players over four weekends. This year our championships will be held in Springfield, Mo., St. Louis, Waterloo, Iowa and Des Moines, Iowa. The USTA League program is the perfect place for adults looking for team competition among similarly skilled players with the chance to win a National Championship.

Mary Buschmann Executive Director

Shelley George USTA Missouri Valley Board President

2010 looks to be a great year here in our section.

We play host to many amazing tennis events over the course of the next ten months. Cooper Tennis Complex, in Springfield, MO, voted one of the top ten Best Tennis Towns in 2009, will host the first ever US Open National Playoffs Missouri Valley Sectional Qualifying Tournament this May. St. Louis and the Dwight Davis Tennis Center will host the National Public Parks Tennis Championship in August and the US OPEN USTA Wheelchair Championships in September. Four years after the inaugural event in Ames, Iowa, the Special Olympics USA National Games comes to Lincoln, Neb., for a week of fair play and fun competition. Additionally, Kansas City again plays host to the USTA Women’s National 65, 75, 85 Indoor Championships and the USTA National Husband & Wife Outdoor Hard Court Championships.

Our section is also very fortunate to have three World TeamTennis franchises. Our members are never too far from St. Louis, Springfield, Mo. or Kansas City to see great tennis by current, former and up and coming tennis stars. This year, Venus Williams, Lindsay Davenport and Anna Kournikova are all scheduled to make appearances in the Missouri Valley.

Finally, it is you that makes the USTA Missouri Valley revered across the country. We rely on our volunteers to make tennis possible for every community and every player. Please contact your local CTAs and districts to search out volunteer opportunities in 2010. We have come a long way over the last decade, but the game has never been stronger and with a team of volunteers like we have, we’re convinced the best is yet to come!

2009 Annual conference

F

riends, family, tennis fans and providers gathered in Overland Park, Kan., on Dec. 4-6, for the 2009 USTA Missouri Valley Annual Conference at the Sheraton Hotel. The weekend’s theme: “Teamwork. One Team. One Goal.” was paramount throughout the weekend.

The event kicked off on Friday with trainings for league coordinators and junior tournament directors. Friday night was kicked off with Tennis Trivia Night and reception.

USTA Missouri Valley vice president Scott Hanover co-hosted the event with Nebraska Tennis Service Representative Dan Bratetic. The duo hosted four rounds of tennis trivia, pitting district against district. The Kansas district won the trivia night battle.

Saturday morning featured two workshops, the first focusing on the youth movement in tennis and the second focused on community tennis resources.

Skip Walther

Wichita, Kan.

Rock Island, Ill.

Columbia, Mo.

Currently ranked No. 3 in the world in quad singles by the ITF, Nick Taylor is the reigning Olympic gold medal doubles champion and holds doubles titles at both the Australian and US Opens.

Taylor was driven to be competitive from an early age and it started with battling a rare congenital disease: arthrogryposis. This severely limits Taylor’s range of motion and thus he must use an electric wheelchair to compete.

He became the first wheelchair player in Kansas athletic high school history to compete against and defeat able-bodied players.

His accomplishments include over 100 tournament titles, two US Open doubles titles, two Australian Open doubles titles, two Olympic gold medals, various ITF Super Series titles, 10 straight World Cup Teams and was the USTA’s 1999 Wheelchair Player of the Year.

He has served as the tournament director for the Via Christi Wichita Open, a USTA Women’s Pro Circuit event for the last two years and as codirector for the two years before that. He serves as the volunteer assistant coach for the Wichita State University men’s tennis team. The last nine years he has also been the director of an annual fundraiser for a local wheelchair sports group.

Growing up in Kirksville, Mo., Skip Walther wasn’t a tennis player. He was a ping pong player—and a good one. Then when he was 15, he and his friend Scott traded their paddles for racquets and a new challenge.

With a few years of tennis under his belt, Walther headed off to the University of Missouri, continuing to play tennis.

While at Missouri, Walther was a four-year varsity letterman and in his senior year, helped Missouri to the Big 8 Conference Championship.

Out of college, Walther played less and less as he began his legal career, but the game called him back 10 years later.

Walther is a two-time gold ball winner, with one singles and one doubles title. His singles title came in the 2000 Grass Court Championships in the 45 singles division in Philadelphia. “In the final, I played as well as I could humanly play. I truly never realistically thought I’d win a national title,” Walther says.

In addition to the two gold balls, he has two silver balls and eight bronze balls. He has won six Category II National Championships and won multiple National Public Parks Championships.

Sheldon Weiner was born and raised in the Quad Cities area and only left briefly for a few years after college when he ventured to Brooklyn, N. Y., to try to make his way as an artist.

He graduated from Augustana College in 1960 and was a College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin singles and doubles tennis champion for three years while at Augustana.

He eventually evolved into “Mr. Tennis” in the Quad Cities. He was noted for his recruiting ability at St. Ambrose University, bringing talent from around the nation and even from outside the country into the St. Ambrose tennis program and as scholarship players. In addition, he also ran tournaments, clinics, coaches’ clinics and gave free lessons.

While coach at Rock Island High School, he set a record of 108 consecutive dual meet victories. He also coached for 18 years at St. Ambrose University where he coached the team to 16 District XV Championships in 18 years and went onto the NAIA national tournament. He holds a career record of 427-135.

Chris Carey

by Eli Gieryna

Chris Carey of Kansas City, Mo., is among the USTA Missouri Valley’s most accomplished adult players.

The 37-year-old high school Spanish teacher has twice competed for the United States’ Italia Cup team, which is the equivalent of the Davis Cup for his age division.

In addition to those trips – which took him to Antalya, Turkey and Mallorca, Spain – Carey travels around the country each year, playing in elite level tournaments.

Off the court, he’s on the USTA’s Senior International Competition Committee, which selects the players for international cup teams. He talked more with CrossCourt about his tennis background.

CrossCourt: How did you get started playing tennis?

Chris Carey: I got started playing tennis in elementary school. Growing up, I used to play all the sports, baseball and basketball, soccer, football. I just started taking tennis lessons in the neighborhood and was a good athlete, so I just liked playing sports. Tennis seemed similar to other sports, so I picked it up pretty easily.

I had good success with tennis, but I also kept playing other sports through high school. I had five or six friends who played tennis, too, so the camaraderie was a lot of fun. Playing sports was how we hung out. My parents played too, so it was a nice family thing.

What do you like best about playing tennis?

Trying to compete at the highest level appeals to me about tennis and seeing how good I can be. I enjoy the camaraderie and talking with the guys you just played against, off the court. You can try to excel on the court and compete, but then try to enjoy the experience with the people you’re playing against. I think that social aspect is something unique to tennis.

Also, you can talk lots of strategy in tennis, which is something appealing to me. I like to see myself grow and improve.

The better I got, the more fun I had. And I love that you can play the sport for your whole life and keep improving, for as long as you’re able to get out on the court.

What do you consider your greatest tennis achievement?

Without a doubt, being selected to play for the Italia Cup teams. To be selected and play for my country, and wear the colors was really amazing. I’m very thankful. Those were Turkey in Oct. 2008, and then Spain in May of 2009.

Chris Carey scouts the competition at the Italia Cup in Mallorca in 2009 (above). While in Mallorca, Carey took some time to relax on the beach with his racquet (above right).

You’ve played lots of international tennis. Do you have a favorite venue or city you’ve competed in, stateside or international?

I really liked visiting Turkey and Mallorca.

But my favorite place to play in the U.S. is on grass, at the Philadelphia Cricket Club.

You walk onto the court and they have 18-20 grass courts and you’re wearing traditional tennis whites. The club has been around forever, and so there’s a lot of cool history. I like playing on different surfaces like that, because it forces me

“

I love that you can play the sport for your whole life and keep improving.

to work on different parts of my game. It goes back to learning and improving, and all the surfaces help to do that.

Who is the best player you’ve ever faced?

In Turkey for the Italia Cup, I went up against a guy who had played in the Davis Cup before. He had played on the pro tour for a while, but was 35 at the time, so he was no longer touring.

How’d you do?

I did lose, but I made it reasonably competitive. But yeah, he was good. [laughs] What do you like to do off the court, non-tennis related?

I enjoy spending time with my wife, Stacy [note: Carey was married in June of 2009].

I try to stay active and still enjoy playing other sports, like basketball and such.

I like relaxing with friends, over dinner and coffee. And, of course I enjoy my job, teaching. I love NCIS, that’s a great show.

I enjoy just sitting back and watching TV sometimes. But mostly, I’m pretty active and on the move.

att Hall began playing tennis at an early age through the encouragement of his parents, who are avid tennis fans and love to play together as a family.

He took lessons in St. Louis from Andy “The Rocket� Anderson, who had an

engaging way of teaching tennis to young kids. Andy took Hall, along with several other players, to Australia in junior high.

Upon returning from the trip, he told his parents he wanted to play team sports like soccer and basketball during high school.

Hall’s family has always used tennis as a fun way to stay athletic, and meet interesting people, no matter what age.

The whole family, including his parents, his sister and his brother’s family, enjoys playing together on family vacations.

“My grandfather played tennis until he was 83,” he said.

In fact, The Hall family was named the 2009 St. Louis Tennis Family of the year. While attending the University of Missouri – Columbia, Hall came back to tennis recreationally. After establishing his professional career, he joined the USTA with his younger sister, with whom he played doubles.

Hall left his job as the Director of Practice Development for BAM Advisor Services in 2005 and co-founded his own investment advisory firm, the Hill Investment Group, with his close friend Rick Hill. In 2006, Hall saw stars when he went to hit an overhead during a USTA match. He knew something was wrong when he tired after playing two sets. Although the stress of leaving an attractive job to start his own company had taken its toll, he knew something else was wrong.

Six months later, in the winter of 2006, he lost 20-30 lbs., started getting very sick and constantly had vision problems. Hall’s life completely changed

What’s Going on Around the Missouri Valley

USTA Serves – Foundation for Academics. Character.

Excellence., the philanthropic and charitable entity of the USTA, recently announced that under its “Aces for Kids” umbrella, it awarded 24 year-end grants, for a total of $297,325. Among the organizations honored was United Neighbors, Inc., in Davenport, Iowa, with a $20,000 grant. Born from neighborhood action to revitalize Davenport’s older neighborhoods, United Neighbors serves individuals and families in need through social and cultural interaction and educational experiences.

On Feb. 4, Chanda Rubin, a former pro on the WTA tour made stops at several local Kansas City area schools, playing tennis with the students and leaving them with some food for thought.

The visit was just a snapshot of her tireless effort to not only promote the game of tennis, but to inspire those children who could benefit from positive influences.

The American Sports Builders Association, the national organization for builders and suppliers of materials for athletic facilities, recently announced the election of officers and directors for 2010-2011. Sam Fisher of Fisher Tracks Inc. (Boone, Iowa) is the new chairman. Gerry Perry of Gerald Perry Tennis Courts (Springfield, Mo.) will continue on the board.

The World TeamTennis marquee player draft was held in early February and there will again be some big names coming to the section this summer. Lindsay Davenport and Anna Kournikova will play for the St. Louis Aces and Venus Williams will also play for the Washington Kastles in an away match in St. Louis.

Martin Brody of Tulsa, Okla., was recently honored as one of two recipients of the Delaine Mast Award. This annual award celebrates the accomplishments of two World TeamTennis Recreational League directors who contribute to the growth of tennis and WTT and who serve as leaders and role models in their local tennis communities.

Additionally, WTT named Brody as a top league director in 2009.

Scott Hanover (Kansas City, Mo.) and Pat Purcell (St. Louis) were also honored as top directors. The 3.5 team from Lee’s Summit, Mo. captured the national championship as well.

Sixteen college club tennis teams from 15 universities recently competed in the USTA Missouri Valley Tennis on Campus Section Championships. The tournament was held Feb. 27-28, at the Cooper Tennis Complex. The fight for the title came down to some nailbiting action. St. Louis University, last year’s runner-up, faced the University of Missouri, who were competing in their first section championship. St. Louis defeated Missouri 26-22, to win the title and Iowa State University finished third with their 27-20 victory over Washington. St. Louis becomes the first two-time champion of the event.

Alex Belote of Springfield, Mo. recently traveled to Singapore on a five-day, four-night camp, organized by Singapore’s Ministry of Education in partnership with the Singapore Sports School and the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organizing Committee.The goal is to promote Olympic values among participants and provide them with a unique experience and the opportunity to form life-long friendships. Belote has been involved in Springfield’s Community Olympic Development Program since 2004 where he is now one of the top youth tennis players in Springfield. “It seems almost unreal to me that I’m getting to represent the United States at the 2010 Singapore Friendship Camp,” Belote said.

1994 USTA Missouri Valley Hall of Famer, Butch Buchholz will be stepping down as chairman of the Sony Ericsson Open, the tournament he founded, after this year’s event March 22 - April 4. He will begin to put his energies into other tennis ventures including a revamping of Davis Cup. The USTA Campus Kids Day at the University of Oklahoma brought in over 200 Sooner fans to their recent dual against Alabama. The Oklahoma coaches said the crowd was instrumental in their upset win over the Crimson Tide. The team also hosted a one hour clinic that allowed all the kids to interact with the athletes.

While at St. Gregory, Koumaris studied social science with an emphasis in psychology.

After graduation, the idea of spending every day stuck in a cubicle was not appealing to Koumaris.

“I loved tennis, and after As a tennis pro, Koumaris spends a college, I was not ready to be lot of time on court (above).

“I like the team aspect of Jr. Team Tennis instead of it being just individuals competing against each other. I like that it is not as competitive as junior (circuit) tennis. It allows those who want to play recreationally to compete on a team and have fun,” Koumaris said. “I like watching the kids enjoying tennis; being with them and watching them develop as both tennis players and individuals.”

Although Oklahoma City’s Jr. Team Tennis league has doubled in size, Koumaris still has goals of expanding the league in the cities surrounding Oklahoma City.

“I am really hoping to branch out to smaller towns,” Koumaris said. “We are starting to schedule town hall meetings in these towns, we are talking to other teaching pros and coaches to try and get them to develop their own leagues.” Kourmaris won’t be the coordinator for the new leagues, but looks forward to seeing new teams at the district championships.

Most importantly, she wants the kids who participate in Jr. Team Tennis to continue having fun, because that is what is most important in Jr. Team Tennis. Success on the court should be second to the fun that they are having, developing a bond with their teammates and supporting one another.

Despite all of the work this position entails, Koumaris does not see her efforts ending anytime soon.

“I can’t see an end until someone else wants to do it,” Koumaris said.

“Something major would have to happen to make me quit.”

Despite the many positive contributions that Koumaris has made to the Oklahoma City tennis community, she never quits looking to the future and searching for ways to grow the game of tennis. Her relentless efforts as a Jr. Team Tennis coordinator combined with her love for the game have helped to touch many young tennis players and will continue to do so.
