District News

BG10(o,g),12-18

As your Iowa Tennis Service Representative, I wanted to thank everyone for working with me these past 25 years. Together, we have grown tennis throughout the district. I have been impressed by the work all of you do in your organizations and communities. You make tennis possible!

I’m excited to continue with the section in my expanded role of servicing facilities and parks throughout USTA Missouri Valley. I will continue to connect facilities, parks, and providers as we grow tennis to inspire healthier people and communities everywhere.
