promises to be another great year for tennis.
I want to thank Kevin Nebergall for his
outstanding leadership as President of the
Missouri Valley the last two years. Kevin will be serving
as our Section Delegate the next two years.
I am a life-long Oklahoma resident and longtime
tournament and league tennis player. I look forward
to meeting many of you as I travel
around the section. I hope to continue the
progress that Kevin made.
One of the challenges of keeping our
game strong is attracting new players while
maintaining the ones we already have. New
approaches mean thinking outside the box. In
this regard, the USTA completely revamped its
Web site to not only make it more attractive but
more user friendly as well. Another innovation
being used at many tournaments is the electronic
line calling of “Shot Spot.”
Players and fans alike enjoy the nearly
instantaneous results of Shot Spot
unlike those replay methods used in
other sports.
One of the complaints about prior national
rankings was that they were very subjective in nature.
Now national rankings are based on an objective mathematical
formula known as the Points Per Round system.
This allows all players to immediately know their
ranking at the conclusion of a tournament.
The Missouri Valley has been on the cutting edge
too. We also completely reworked our Web site to have
A Love For
The Game!
Three men who share a passion for tennis –– one who is still
playing well into his 80s, one who has played on the world
stage and one who is now our section president. (L-R) Former
USTA Missouri Valley Hall of Fame (HOF) Committee Chair
Homer Robinson, Luke Jensen and Missouri Valley President
Richard M. Perry take a break from playing in the “Battle of the
Districts” to watch a little bit of the action during the Annual
Conference (page 12). After 20 years in that role, Robinson, 85
at the time, stepped down as HOF chair in December 2006, but
stressed he planned to keep on playing the game. Jensen, the
1993 French Open doubles champ, is now women’s tennis
coach at the University of Syracuse and a frequent visitor to the
Missouri Valley.

President’s
Message
a fresh new look and feel. More information is available
through quicklinks and navigation through the various
menus is easier. As part of a national initiative to
get more assistance to the grass roots level, we now
have a Tennis Service Representative for each of our
seven districts. Our TSR’s are Missouri Valley staff
working in the field to help in any way possible to
grow the game. Our staff publishes CrossCourt,
an outstanding quarterly publication with great
news and tips. Both our Junior and Adult rankings
are based on the Points Per Round system.
Strong organizations require a strong base.
The Missouri Valley is fortunate to have a very
professional staff and enthusiastic volunteers.
Our section is consistently among the best in
the nation in many categories. Our volunteers
are appointed to numerous USTA
national committees and hold several
council and committee chair positions.
So join the fun.
Get out and play tennis with a friend,
enter a tournament, and play in a league. Tennis
truly is the sport of a lifetime.

Past
President’s
Message
The past two years of my presidency of the
Missouri Valley Section have passed swiftly.
I have fond memories of the people I’ve met
and the places I’ve visited within our section. I would
like to thank both the staff and volunteers for all the
hard work and assistance provided
to me as well as the hospitality
extended to me in all
my visits to such exotic
places as St. Louis, Kansas
City, Wichita, Springfield
and Tulsa.
I trust that my successor,
Richard Perry, will
continue to enjoy the
support of staff
and volunteers
to make his
tenure as rewarding
as my own. I look
forward to participating in
the myriad of programs and events
in the section without the burden of concern and
responsibility for their success. I also look forward to
fewer phone calls on urgent matters in the various districts
but am still available to receive for advice and
enjoy all my long distance friends.
In short, thank you to all members of the USTA
Missouri Valley Section for allowing me to participate
in governance and play in our section and encourage
anyone not yet involved as a volunteer to give the
office a call and find yet another niche in the tennis
world.
All My Best,
Kevin Nebergall

seems to have flown by! We’ve added
new staff members out in the field to
better service our existing members
and to grow and expand our programming.
We’ve established a solid base in all our
districts and experienced growth in
Leagues, Tennis on Campus and Junior

Do we have room for more growth?
Absolutely!
2007 is our year to “connect the dots”.
Together we can foster relationships with
our schools, parks, YMCAs, universities
and clubs. We can get courts
updated; we can help find volunteers;
we can train new coaches; we can
update high school coaches drills and assist them in
having a successful no-cut policy; we can offer high
school players the opportunity to continue their tennis
with club play at the collegiate level.
We want to recruit, train and retain our volunteers so
that our programs will continue to thrive. We need to
Tennis “returns the service” of improved physical health, personal confidence and
cognitive abilities to those who participate, regardless of age.
You can give the gift of tennis by contributing to the Missouri Valley Tennis
Foundation, which provides grants and supports programs that promote tennis and
education in your community.
Your gift is an investment in making a difference in your community’s future by
helping establish, administer and promote tennis programs devoted to the development
of healthy lifestyles and physical fitness through the sport of tennis. With your
assistance, the Missouri Valley Tennis Foundation will encourage and provide assistance
for tennis initiatives and will promote health, character, sportsmanship and
responsible citizenship for youth and adults regardless of race, creed, national origin,

to make tennis about family, we want to make
tennis about community, and we want to
make tennis about inclusion. We want
tennis to “make your day!”
Together we can make it happen.

USTA
Volunteers
Tennis success starts with a good serve. That’s
why, to fulfill its mission to promote and
grow the game, the USTA depends on those who
serve––as volunteers. You don’t have to have the
best serve on the court to be a big hit as a volunteer.
The USTA provides training. We’ll find a volunteer
opportunity that’s perfect for you!
Event Volunteers help organize and operate Competitive
Tennis and Community Tennis programs by taking photos,
assisting at tournament desks, messaging information between
different event sites, participating on tournament committees,
collecting results for the media, and distributing poster/flyers.
Booth Volunteers provide information about USTA Missouri
Valley programs to promote membership to the USTA.
Committee Volunteers/Members in each district and the
section assist in the planning, promotion and implementation of
USTA programs through public relations, marketing, Web
development, community development, fundraising, junior
competition, leagues and more. Appointment to section committees
is based on district involvement. For more information
about volunteering, please contact your local district’s
volunteer coordinator (pages 54-79).

2006
Annual
Conference
Tennis innovation... Tennis fashion...
Tennis awards... Tennis action... Tennis
talk... Tennis champ Luke Jensen...
Mixed together thoroughly and the USTA
Missouri Valley had all the ingredients needed
for a successful 2006 Annual Conference,
held Dec. 8-10 in Overland Park, Kan.
Jensen got the conference off to a heartpounding
start. Literally. The 1993 French
Open doubles champion, now head women’s
tennis coach at the University of Syracuse,
raised the pulse of the more than 65 participants
in the Coaches’ Clinic –– the conference’s
kickoff event. He ran the coaches
through on-court drills for two hours.
Then Jensen helped set the tone for the
weekend, stressing that it’s never too late to
get the most –– and then even more –– out
of tennis. In his opening-night speech,
Jensen recalled Andre Agassi’s cavalier early
days on the pro tour, particularly his disdain
for practice when they were Davis Cup
teammates. Agassi, Jensen said, depended
entirely on his awesome shot-making talent.
But Agassi, of course, reinvented himself more than once
during his 20-year career and retired among the most
admired Grand Slam champs ever –– with a remarkable
work ethic that enabled him to still contend at the majors
well into his 30’s. Agassi’s commitment to improving as a
player, related Jensen, parallels efforts to keep the game
growing through hard work and innovation.
A tennis fashion show capped off the opening night.
Two of the three workshops held during the Annual
Conference centered almost exclusively on innovations
BATTLIN’ CHAMPION
The Kansas District topped Iowa in the final to claim the big prize – the “Battle
of the Districts” championship. The eighth annual competition featured teams
from each of the Missouri Valley’s seven districts, as well as a squad of section
staff.
Luke Jensen, the section’s special guest to the Annual Conference, demonstrates proper volleying
technique during the Coaches’ Clinic. In addition to putting several junior and senior high coaches
through some rigorous drills during the clinic, Jensen was also the conference’s opening night
speaker and participated in the Hall of Fame/Awards luncheon.
being made to grow tennis. Representatives from three
equipment manufacturers –– Wilson, Prince and Dunlop ––
joined Leigh Strassner, president of St. Louis-based
Strassner Tennis Court Builders to discuss advances in tennis
technology. Meanwhile, Mark Platt, owner of
Beginners World Tennis in St. Louis, and Daryl
Greenstreet, head pro at Midtown Tennis in Overland Park,
focused on new methods being used to introduce youngsters
to the game (see page 35).
In the third workshop, Jane Hines concentrated on one
aspect of the USTA that will never change––the essential
role of volunteers. Hines, the chair of the Missouri Valley
Volunteer Committee, stressed the importance of not only
recruiting volunteers but also retaining them to operate programs,
tournaments and other events. She, Plaza Tennis
Center (Kansas City, Mo.) General Manager Scott
Hanover, and Nancy Fuller, president of the Junior League
of Kansas City, Mo., formed a panel to field questions about
“igniting the passion” in volunteers.
Among those recognized during the Hall of Fame inductions
(page 13) and Section Awards (pages 14-15) were volunteers
who made an enduring contribution to the Missouri
Valley. Homer Robinson was applauded for 20 years of
service as Hall of Fame Committee chairman, overseeing
inductions to the Hall since its inception in 1986. The 85year-old
noted that he was stepping down as chair, but
looked forward to still playing the game after hip and knee
replacements. The members of the Coaches Corp were also
saluted as the Tennis in the Hood program commemorated
its 10th and final year.

COMMUNITY TENNIS
ASSOCIATIONS
Community Tennis Associations
(CTAs) work with USTA districts,
sections and the National Office to
deliver USTA programs to grow the
number of new and frequent recreational
and competitive players.
CTAs, independent local tennis
associations, offer those in their
respective communities a variety of
programs such as after-school tennis
and USTA League Tennis. A CTA
is an organized group of dedicated
volunteers (parents, players) and
professionals (teaching pros, coaches,
park & recreation staff, an attorney
or key business leaders) who
come together to support community
tennis programs or projects.
As an association, a group of volunteers
develop their vision for tennis,
based on the needs of the community
in which they live. CTAs
coordinate and maintain programs
and services, acting as advocates,
program administrators, promoters
and fundraisers. They are not-forprofit
entities, and they are key to
promoting and developing the
growth of tennis in their local communities.

USTA WHEELCHAIR TENNIS
USTA Wheelchair
Tennis is one of the
fastest growing and most
challenging of all wheelchair
sports. To meet this
demand, USTA
Wheelchair Tennis offers
programs geared towards
the wheelchair player.
Rules are the same as
stand-up tennis, except
the wheelchair player is
allowed two bounces of
the ball.
Wheelchair tennis provides
persons with disabilities
the opportunity to
share in activities with
their peers and family,
whether able-bodied or
disabled. Playing wheelchair
tennis adds to the
socialization and the normalization
of life for those
who’ve had a disabling
injury or illness. Proficient

NJTL introduces at-risk and underprivileged young people to the skills, techniques and
rewards of tennis. Established by Arthur Ashe, Charlie Pasarell and Sheridan Snyder in
1969, these inner-city organizations use tennis to develop character, values, social skills
and self-discipline by providing adult role models and opportunities for academic advancement.
NJTL promotes fun, fitness and friends – the main reasons why youngsters play
sports. NJTL is a low-cost, community-based system for providing tennis opportunities for
youngsters. NJTL keeps youngsters off the streets and out of trouble by providing them a
safe haven and role models, while they develop positive social skills and learning disciplines.

USTA Missouri Valley Adult Competition Program Manager Lori Therrien lends Naomi a helping hand while
showing her some basic strokes during the June 2006 BlazeSports Kansas Kickoff, a tennis clinic for individuals
with physical disabilities.
Tennis is a sport without boundaries.
Yes, there are lines on a court, but they
are not there to exclude anyone. USTA
Adaptive Programming recognizes four
categories of differently-abled players:
� Developmentally disabled (learning
disabilities, autism, Down Syndrome, mental
retardation, etc).
� Physically disabled (birth defects, multiple
sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, muscular
dystrophy, etc.).
� Consumers of mental health services
(psychiatrically disabled, emotionally disturbed,
etc.).
� At risk / environmentally disabled
(substance abusers, mentally and physically
abused, homeless, HIV positive individuals,
persons within the juvenile justice sys-
ADAPTIVE PROGRAMMING
tem, etc.).
For each of these groups, USTA
Adaptive Programming supports adaptive
tennis programs, providing resources for
specifically tailored programs that provide
fun, fitness and a positive social experience
for participants. Clinics and instructional
programs are held throughout the
Section, often in conjunction with agencies
devoted to serving special populations
within their respective communities.
The enjoyment, physical well-being and
contact shared by participants have
proven to be positive sources of selfesteem,
helping open doors to a more
positive lifestyle.

WELCOME BACK
TO TENNIS
The purpose of Welcome Back to
Tennis, for players age 50+, is to encourage
people to make a commitment to a
healthier lifestyle by providing them with an
exciting social tennis event and offering them
opportunities to join a specifically designed
continuing tennis program. The target audience
is people, ages 50 to 70, who used to
play tennis but stopped playing or who would
like to get started. These events aren’t
intended for individuals who are already
involved in a local program or league.
Here’s a snapshot of a Welcome Back to
Tennis party: A three-hour event that
includes socializing, music, food and
drinks, advice on new racquet technology,
safety considerations, warm-up and cooldown
activities, on-court tennis activities,
prizes, and sign-up opportunities for continuing
programs.
More Information: Contact your district’s
Tennis Service Representative (TSR). See page
9 for TSR phone numbers and e-mail
addresses.
TENNIS WELCOME
CENTERS
About 71 million Americans have tried
tennis but left due to a poor introductory
experience.They simply picked up a racquet
and tried to play without the benefit of
instruction or coaching. Research shows
that when people are introduced to tennis
through fun and organized instructional
programs they keep playing. We need your
help to attract and retain new players.
As a Tennis Welcome Center, your tennis
facility will benefit from the largest marketing
campaign EVER to introduce people to
tennis “the right way,” so they keep playing!
Tennis facilities meeting basic requirements
may become a Tennis Welcome Center.
Through TennisWelcomeCenter.com,
potential players can enter their zip code
and find out about introductory instructional
programs offered near them. Your facility or
program name doesn’t change; you simply
become part of a network of Tennis
Welcome Centers welcoming new players
to the game.

Slowing game down crucial to early success
_____________
Tennis balls are now being
designed with the intent of keeping
the on-court action lively, fun and,
best of all, inside the lines. Taking some
of the bounce out of the ball just might be
the key to keeping the bounce in a new
player’s step.
It’s no secret tennis has not always been
kind to beginners. But a new tennis ball revolution is
geared toward making the sport more newbie-friendly.
Surely you’ve witnessed this scene before: Newcomer

steps onto court for the first time with an oversized, space

at what seems like warp speed. The result?
A swing and a miss. Ball over the fence. Ball into the
net. Ball rocketed into the next zip
code. Another swing and another miss.
“When I go out to speak or do workshops
now, I always ask the question,
‘How many of you are using foam and
transition balls?’,” said Kirk Anderson, the
USTA’s director of Recreational Coaches and
Programs. “Two or three years ago I’d get one or two people.

Ashe’s legacy lives on
_____________
Arthur Ashe wanted to take everyone to court.
The tennis court that is.
He’d be proud to know that his most enduring legacy
–– introducing the sport to those who might not
otherwise have the opportunity to play tennis –– is
something that continues on to this day, and in his
name.
Each year, the USTA remembers Ashe’s accomplishments
and contributions to the sport in many forms.
The US Open Stadium Court is named after the former
world No. 1, as is Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day –– held one
day prior to the Open’s first round –– which celebrates
Ashe’s enduring optimism and belief that children,
education and tennis were a terrific mix.
It is also in that vein, that the annual National
Arthur Ashe Essay Contest is held –– open to National
Junior Tennis League (NJTL) members across the
country. NJTL was a program Ashe co-founded in
1969 to give more children exposure to tennis.
EARLY START The USTA Missouri Valley added
to this national contest by pairing up with several predominantly
African-American charter schools and
NJTL chapters located within the section to roll out an
an early start to the contest during February, Black History
Month. The goal was to increase awareness of Ashe’s legacy
as an African-American pioneer, and to get as many children
to pen essays for the contest as possible.
“Our goal is for kids to know who Arthur Ashe was. Not
just his name, but what he did –– both on and off the court,”
says Fred Johnson, USTA Missouri Valley diversity manager,
who oversees the section’s entries to the national contest.
Among the schools included in this early roll out was
Kansas City’s Genesis School.
Schools like Genesis, now in its third year as a registered
NJTL, are excited about the opportunities the USTA
Missouri Valley has presented them to help bring tennis to
their campuses. The school, which caters to at-risk youth of
middle school and early high school ages, has used tennis to
expand its students; horizons, athletically and academically.
“Our kids all understand struggle, and Arthur’s story is
about overcoming and achieving through that struggle,” said
J.B. Blanks, teacher and NJTL director for Genesis School.
“His message was a message all of our kids can learn
from. What I’m really excited about is that this contest gives
our kids the chance to bone up on their writing skills and

learn something about tennis at the same time.”
YEAR-ROUND GOAL Genesis School has seen a slight
increase each year in its tennis offerings for students. The
school, which runs after-school and summer programs, is
trying to get grants for a year-round tennis curriculum.
Educational components like the Ashe Essay Contest put
tennis in a new and exciting light for students at schools like
Genesis, and breaks the mold of the classroom materials
about which they’d normally write essays.
The chance to win a free, all-expense paid trip to Arthur
Ashe Kids’ Day at the US Open just for writing a 300-word
essay doesn’t hurt either. Two students from the Missouri
Valley won their respective age divisions in 2005, with
another two prevailing last year. Genesis School also had a
student, Gentle Duley, selected to attend an NJTL
Leadership Camp in the summer of 2006. So, the students
know firsthand the potential rewards of dutiful effort.
“I didn’t know much about Arthur Ashe before, but I’ve
learned a lot about him and tennis since we started,” said
15-year-old freshman Nicole Williams, one of Duley’s classmates
and teammates on the Genesis NJTL squad. “His
story and the things he did with tennis were amazing.”
4 WINNERS FROM MISSOURI VALLEY IN 2 YEARS:
2005: Katelyn Koerber (Aurora, Kan) and
Jessica Wojcik (Grand Island, Neb.)
2006: Ashley Rhone (Del City, Okla.) and
Alexandria Henson (Florissant, Mo.)

Tennis Gives School Added Lift
St. Louis school gives kids a new opportunity
_____________
USTA organizational members are a diverse collection of
groups, with many servicing those looking to do more
than serve up tennis balls.
Lift for Life Academy and Gym is just such an organization.
This charter middle school located in a recycled bank building
in the heart of St. Louis is relatively new to the USTA Missouri
Valley family, having been an organizational
member for less than a year. But
Lift for Life is already accomplishing
great things on the court.
VARIED EXPERIENCES Lift for Life
was started in the late 1980s as a neighborhood
gym to keep children off the
streets and give them a positive alternative
via weightlifting and fitness. In 2000, that
vision expanded when Lift for Life
became the city’s first charter middle
school for students in grades sixth through
eighth.
Currently, 400 children attend the
school. Most are at-risk kids who have
bounced around the school system, but are
given a second chance to succeed at Lift
for Life. Many of the school’s students are
bused to the year-round school, no matter
what corner of St. Louis they’re from.
Besides being a high-performing educational
institution, Lift for Life also boasts
a wide spectrum of enrichment activities,
from cooking, to weightlifting, photography
and tennis. That assortment truly
makes the school unique, and one of the
reasons the daily attendance rate is nearly
94 percent, almost 10 percent higher than
the Missouri state average.
“You never know the hidden talents of a
child or know if they’ll take a liking to
something until you give them a chance
with it,” said Lift for Life Community Relations Director
Susan Kelter. “That’s our attitude here. We expose them to a lot
of things and attempt to bring diverse programming, things like
tennis. That’s what makes them want to stay in school and be a
part of a place like Lift for Life.
“For many of these kids, they’d never even been introduced
to the sport of tennis. Just doing that has now shown them that
there are many opportunities for them to play.”
Tennis became part of the school’s curriculum in the summer
of 2006. St. Louis Aces owner Dan Apted invited Lift for Life
to use the Dwight Davis Tennis Center for tennis lessons.
Apted introduced Lift for Life to the Just Us Tennis
Foundation, an African-American-based Community Tennis
Association in St. Louis that strives to reach urban kids through
the sport.
“We ran a four-week program, Monday-Thursday during the
summer,” said Just Us Tennis Foundation President Joe Clark.
“We did one group per week and the groups averaged in size
between 30 and 40 kids. We reached about 140 kids in total.”
The children who took part in the program were hungry for
the sport and became hooked immediately. Even the Lift for
Life staff got involved during many of the days of the camps.
“It was a very good program,” said Brandon Maytubby, 12,
one of last summer’s camp participants. “They provided us

with a lot of things, like drinks, snacks and tennis racquets. I’d
played a little tennis before, but the instructors really taught me
a lot of new things. I play football and basketball, too, but the
reason I love playing tennis is because it’s an individual sport.”
The program was a huge success for everyone involved.
Just Us instructors served as mentors for more than just Lift for
Life’s students on-court. They introduced Lift for Life’s administration
to the possibilities that were available through the
USTA. Soon after, the Lift for Life Academy and the Lift for
Life Gym both became USTA organizational members.
HOOKED ON TENNIS The Just Us Tennis Foundation
also encouraged Lift for Life to apply for USTA grants, and

now doing what other sports like baseball
and soccer have been doing for
years. By scaling things down and modifying
equipment for kids, you’re not
changing the sport that much. You’re
allowing them to play.”
SLOWER-MOTION, FASTER
LEARNING CURVE Gone are the
days where the choice of balls ranged
from optic yellow and fuzzy to… optic
yellow and fuzzy. Take a trip to any athletic
superstore or tennis club now, and
you’re likely to find tennis balls of different
sizes, color, compression and
composition. Not only are ball sales of
all kinds up across the board, but “transition
balls” –– the term for slower, low
compression balls (spinners) and spongy,
foam balls –– are particularly hot.
“We have seen pretty good growth in
that area (transition balls) the last few
years,” said Jennifer Parker, business
manager for Penn. “When it comes to
teaching, especially for kids, there is no
substitute really for a foam ball. It
almost provides a slow-motion effect for
the kids, giving them time to really set
up to hit the ball properly. It makes the
38
THE BALL � From Page 35
sport more enjoyable to learn.”
Since many first-timers often give up
the sport after just one chance, establishing
that enjoyment is vital to helping a
new generation of players find the game
fun –– instead of frustrating from their
very first swing. Spinners and foam balls
allow kids and other beginners to experience
early success and get a peek into
their tennis future as they progress
toward hitting regulation balls.
Instructors are taking notice.
TRANSITIONING TO TRANSITION
BALLS “The reason we use foam balls,
No. 1 is to make the sport fun and exciting
for the kids,” said David Minihan,
director of Tennis at Westwood Tennis
Center in Norman, Okla., and the author
of a soon-to-be published work entitled,
Easy as 1, 2, 3: Introducing Children to
Tennis in a Fun and Exciting
Environment.
Standard teaching curriculum for
youngsters these days almost always
begins with an introduction via transition
and foam balls. From the United
States Professional Teaching Association
(USPTA) and Professional Tennis
Registry (PTR) to ball manufacturers
like Wilson, Dunlop and Penn, to the
USTA itself, transition and foam balls
are becoming a part of the business of
tennis, as well as the business of tennis
teaching.
“With the foam and transition balls,
the ball just comes off the racquet easier
for kids,” said Minihan. “It’s not as
heavy on their strings, which means control
is better. Just about any kid can
make good contact with (transition and
foam balls), which means they’re experiencing
success with the sport right away.
I’m a strong believer of making the
sport as easy as possible, and foam and
transition balls definitely do that.”
SWING AND MISSILE Though fun
may be the primary result, fundamentals
also become easier for kids to grasp with
the new equipment, which really excites
instructors. Since foam and spinner balls
are so much lighter and slower off the
bounce, timing isn’t such a crucial factor
in making solid contact. Correct form is
easier to develop because the bounce
and speed of these balls is manageable.
Bad technique and hitches in strokes

often develop early on when new
players are simply trying to adjust to
the speed or height of the bounce.
With transition equipment in place,
that part of the equation is taken out
of play, meaning instructors can now
better stress form and function, and
not have to adjust to their pupils’
height or strength levels. In short,
kids are more receptive and excited
when they’re doing well.
It’s a win-win situation for instructors
who want to see that success in
their young pupils, and for parents
who want their children having fun
with the sport. The best potential
result of all? Young players could
become not only happier on the
court, but better, more polished players
at a younger age. Instead of
swing and miss, it’s now swing and
missile.
“I have four kids and all of them
have played tennis now,” said Teala
Engle of Kansas City, Mo., whose
youngest son, Tom, 8, has been play-

ing with both spinner and foam balls in his tennis classes at
Midtown Tennis Club in Overland Park, Kan., from the start.
“My first three kids went with what I guess then was the more
traditional route. Tom is going through a program now where
they use (transition) equipment much more, and I think he likes
it. Instead of maybe starting and being able to hit one in 20
shots great, maybe now he’ll get 10 out of 20.”
One of Tom’s classmates, 8-year-old Tyler Gillmore, says he
likes playing with the transition balls because he “likes to be
competitive.”
“It’s a lot of fun with the softer balls,” said Gillmore.” I can
get a lot of them in the court even when I swing hard.”
THE FUTURE IS AN OPEN DOOR Many of the sport’s
brass believe transition balls will soon become the next big
thing in tennis teaching, and, if it’s not already, will become
standard equipment for instructors
teaching young-age beginners. It also
works well for older-age beginners
just taking part in the game and
wanting to get the feel of a rally
before they develop their tennis
hand-eye coordination. The balls are
also used extensively in programs
like Cardio Tennis, which have thus
far been more geared towards adults.
The equipment could also encourage
parents to begin introducing the
sport to their kids. That has long
been a stumbling block, since so
many parents have always felt that
the sport was so technical, even at
the earliest levels. According to
Anderson, with transition equipment
like mini-nets and balls, parents
could begin bringing the court to
their own driveways and become
their children’s earliest instructors.
He points out that for many kids,
their first taste of sports like basketball
and baseball was at home,
playing with their parents.
“There are nearly 400,000 coaches teaching soccer in the
United States,” said Anderson. “Do you know who many of
those are? Parents. If we can make the game of tennis so simple
that a mom or dad can go out in the driveway and rally
some balls back and forth with their child, then we all win.
“The research is overwhelming: When you slow everything
down the way you can with these kinds of balls, anyone who
has an interest in tennis can take part and have some success
on the court. When that starts happening more and more, that’s
when we’ll really take off.”
CROSSCOURT COVER: Using transition balls helps these
kids at the Midtown Tennis Club in Overland Park, Kan., slow the
action down and better develop their swing –– while having lots of
fun, rather than frustration, as they learn to play the game.

“I’ve been on tours to a lot of schools
and I won’t forget (Lift for Life),” said
Karen Green, USTA National Coordinator
for School Tennis. “I was really impressed
by everything each group was doing to
help get their kids introduced to tennis
with the intent it could be a life sport for
many of them. I thought it was a really
good fit with the NJTL (National Junior
Tennis League), the section, and the nonprofit
group.”
USTA was convinced enough to offer
Lift for Life a Tennis & Education grant
for $10,600 at the end of 2006, a grant that
will go toward equipment, instruction fees
and transportation costs.
“It takes the entire community to do
what we try to do here at Lift for Life, and
I was amazed at the cooperation between
all the different entities,” said Kelter. “We
got very excited when the USTA talked
about helping us. What the USTA is doing
sends a great message to children like ours,
and that message is really aligned with
everything we’re about, providing different
opportunities for our kids. It’s enormous
what this grant is for and what it will help
us do.”

Three youths from the Missouri
Valley –– Lauren Cheeseborough
(Wichita, Kan.), Demonta Bailey
(Kansas City, Mo.) and Gentle Duley
(Kansas City, Mo.) –– were selected to
attend the NJTL National Leadership
Camp in San Diego.
�� LUKE!
Luke Jensen, the colorful former
French Open doubles champ and new
University of Syracuse women’s tennis
coach, continued to be a frequent guest
of the USTA Missouri Valley.
42
Among his visits to
the section, he helped
celebrate the reopening
of the Oklahoma
City Tennis Center,
after a $1.8 million
facelift, and he gave
the opening night
speech of the Missouri
Valley Annual
Conference (page 12).
�� SHOW-ME CUP
The Springfield
Lasers got the cup!
The USTA Missouri
Valley gave the section’s
World
TeamTennis franchises
something extra to
compete for in 2006
–– the first-ever Show- Nick Monroe
Me Cup. And the
Lasers won it. They topped their
Missouri rivals, the Kansas City
Explorers and St. Louis Aces, to prevail
in the intra-section competition.
Olathe, Kan., native Nick Monroe
played for the triumphant Lasers.
World TeamTennis continued to bring
many of the marquee names in tennis
to the Missouri Valley, including Pete
Sampras, Anna Kournikova, the
dynamic doubles duo of Mike and Bob
Bryan, and 2004 French Open champ
Anastasia Myskin. (2007 World
TeamTennis schedule page 50)
�� 7 PRO CIRCUIT EVENTS
The Missouri Valley played host to
seven different Pro Circuit tournaments

in 2006. Each included Community
Involvement Day activities to further
raise awareness of tennis in each tournament’s
host city.
�� NATIONAL HONOR
USTA National saluted Jane Hines
(Omaha, Neb.) as the organization’s
national volunteer of the month for
August 2006.
�� MORE AWARDS
Chris Young of Wichita State
University (Kan.) received the national
USTA/ITA Community Service Award.
The USTA/ITA also presented a
Regional Campus Recreation Award to
Chase Hodges of Drake University in
Des Moines, Iowa.

�� STEALING THE SHOW
Kansas City hosted the USTA National Husband & Wife
Hard Court Championships –– a mixed doubles tournament
featuring only married couples. Dustin and Carolina Perry
kept the championship trophy in the Missouri Valley, as the
Kansas City couple –– both former Division I college players
–– topped Junior and Marissa Brown (Overland Park,
Kan.) in the 6-2, 7-6 (4) final.
But the Marolds from Corpus Christi, Texas, nearly stole
the show. Charles (60 years old) and Hilary (55) had a tournament
to shout about as they made a run all the way to the
semifinals, before running into the top-seeded Browns.
Charles and Hilary defeated many competitors who haven’t
been alive as long as the Marolds have been married –– 28
years and counting.
Kansas City will again host the tournament July 13-15,
2007.
�� USTA LEAGUE TENNIS
USTA League tennis continued to thrive in the Missouri
Valley with the number of players in the section up to 13,197
players, up from 12,813 in 2005.
The section’s USTA League champions went on to represent
the Missouri Valley well at the USTA League National
Championships, with five finishing among the top four in the
country in their divisions. One, the 9.0 Mixed Doubles team
from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and captained by B.J. Fleming,
won the 2006 Western Regional National Championship.

title.
�� WHEELCHAIR TENNIS EMPHASIS
To further stress wheelchair tennis, the Missouri Valley
featured exhibition wheelchair matches at each of its 2006
USTA League Section Championships –– held in St. Louis;
Kansas City, Topeka, Kan.; and Oklahoma City. Wheelchair
players can participate on any USTA League team, competing
with and against either other wheelchair players or ablebodied
players.

�� PUBLIC FACILITY GRANTS
Good fortune in the form of USTA Public Facility
Funding continued to smile on the Missouri Valley. Three
cities received grants to help construct or refurbish public
tennis facilities: Columbia, Mo.; North Liberty, Iowa;
and McCook, Neb.

�� SAYING ‘YES’ TO TENNIS
The USTA Missouri Valley continued
its on-going efforts to reach out to
those who might never, otherwise, get
a chance to play the game.
The section participated in several
clinics for seniors, disabled individuals
and youth during 2006, including this
YES clinic conducted during the
NCAA Division II championships in
Kansas City.
Dozens of Kansas City-area
eighth graders, like Marie
Coronado, said “YES” to tennis
and were given their first lessons
in the game’s
basic strokes
and rules.

�� JUNIOR TEAM TENNIS
The USTA Missouri Valley saw a 20 percent jump in Junior Team
Tennis participation –– up to 1,269 players in 2006, compared to
972 in 2005.
�� VEN Y JUEGA TENIS
As part of its Diversity outreach program, the USTA Missouri
Valley published a Spanish-language brochure to promote tennis ––
a brochure also available at missourivalley.usta.com.
Information about USTA Leagues, Junior Team Tennis, marketing
kits and other programs was also made available in Spanish.
�� ADAPTIVE TENNIS
Tennis only has boundaries to determine whether the ball is in or
out. Everyone can get in the game.
Efforts to emphasis that fact were stepped up throughout 2006.
The Special Olympics USA National Games were conducted
on the campus of Iowa State University in July with more than 3,000
competitors from across the country –– nearly 100 in tennis.
Meanwhile, the Central Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis integrated
tennis into its recreational activities. World-ranked wheelchair
player Nick Taylor joined the Easter Seals, The Capper Foundation
and USTA Missouri Valley staff in Topeka, Kan., for the
BlazeSports Kansas Kickoff clinic. The event introduced almost
75 players with developmental and physical disabilities to tennis.
�� MEMBERSHIP GROWS
Membership in the USTA topped 700,000 across the nation and
exceeded more than 22,500 in the Missouri Valley.

Overview
The use of a dynamic rating system is predicated on having the ability to get
the match results into the national database quickly and easily with the help of
team captains to report scores. The USTA’s automated data management
system, TennisLink, integrates the national database and the NTRP program
to provide a seamless flow of information.
TennisLink provides:
• Significantly improved team registration, membership and eligibility management
• Increased efficiency in match scorecard entry
• Automated standings and a Championship module
Information for NEW USTA League Tennis players
If you’re a NEW player to USTA League Tennis, you will benefit from ease of
entry and the elimination of on-court verification and its associated costs and
time. NEW players enter the program by rating themselves using the NTRP
General and Specific Characteristics of Various Playing Levels, located in
“National Tennis Rating Program” on the USTA League Tennis web page and
in various USTA publications. Many of you should be able to self-rate accurately…do
you play with league players who currently have computer ratings.
Knowing their ratings, where would you place yourself?
TennisLink will provide a self-rating declaration box for new players at the
What is "Dynamic" NTRP?
“Dynamic” NTRP is an enhanced tennis rating
system that generates player ratings at regular
intervals over the course of a season (unlike the
present “static” system that defers all rating calculations
to year-end).
What is different?
Dynamic NTRP allows players to self-rate instead
of attending verification clinics. Disqualifications will
be handled directly by the NTRP program.
How will it work?
Players will register through TennisLink. If they
have a valid computer rating on file in the database
it will confirm their eligibility for the team. If they
have no rating on file the player will be required to
declare a self-rating before completing the registration.
After each match, the captain will enter the
scores online in TennisLink. These results will be
calculated in the dynamic NTRP computer program.
USTA will monitor the ratings and inform
players if they reach the disqualification level three
times based on all adult and senior matches
appearing in the system. Remember, Mixed
Doubles and Super Seniors do not have NTRP disqualification.
Has the way that the computer program calculates
ratings been changed?
The basic mathematical algorithm has not
changed. The computer still looks at your match
scores and not whether you won or lost the match.
Significant procedural changes apply in Dynamic
NTRP, however. Where historically, your final rating
was a function exclusively of your results at the
highest level of competition entered, under
Dynamic NTRP “final” ratings are based on your
cumulative dynamic rating entering an event and
on the traditional “benchmark” calculation method.
Will my rating now change in mid-year?
Only if you reach the third strike and are disqualified
at your present level. Otherwise you will still
receive a year-end rating just as in the past.
� Frequently Asked Questions �
Does Dynamic NTRP treat doubles partners differently?
Dynamic NTRP maintains whatever rating differential
between doubles partners that existed before
a match. For example, if a 3.3 and a 3.5 player are
paired together, whatever “spread” between opponents
is dictated by the specific match results, the
two partners will have ratings only .2 different from
one another after the dynamic calculation is completed.
How do you know that new players will self-rate
correctly?
Historically, better than 8 out of 10 new players
self-rate accurately when attending a rating clinic in
anticipation of entering the USTA League Tennis
program. Actual match results will determine
whether a player self-rates too high or too low —
with the prospect of player disqualification if warranted.
What do I do if I think a self-rated player is too
good for the level?
Captains may submit a “Fair Play Grievance”
against any player and/or team that condoned any
players misrepresenting themselves in the Self-
Rating process. These grievances would be submitted
directly to the Section League Coordiantor.
Can I declare a different self-rating for different
League Divisions (e.g., 3.5 for Adult and 4.0 for
Senior)?
No. Once you declare an initial self-rating, you are
bound by it for the calendar year or until you generate
a final, year-end rating. The only exception to
this is in the event of a player disqualification,
where one is immediately bound by the higher,
“DQ” rating.
DISQUALIFICATION PROCESS
What is a strike and how do I get one?
Each time a player’s dynamic rating exceeds the
maximum tolerance for the level, he/she automatically
earns a “strike.” Three strikes—considering all
Dynamic
NTRP
time of registration. New players will begin to generate a dynamic NTRP rating
after their first match against a player who has an NTRP computer rating.
Information for RETURNING USTA League Tennis players
If you’re a returning USTA League Tennis player you will begin your league
season with your current NTRP computer rating. If you received your computer
rating before the 2004 League year, you may self-rate to enter the program.
Computer ratings will stay in the system for 3 years for Adults and 2
years for players 50 years or older.
Disqualification
Dynamic NTRP ratings will be run by the computer to determine if any players
are “clearly above level” using the current Disqualification Procedure
Guidelines. Players will be disqualified if they achieve the currently established
“clearly above level” status three times based on all matches reported
in the national database for Adult and Senior Divisions. This includes all
match play in Adult and Senior divisions in all sections. Remember, you must
reach this disqualification level three times during the championship league
year in order to be disqualified.
Visit missourivalley.usta.com for regulation updates.
matches in the Adult and Senior Divisions from all
sections in the database from Local League up to
and including Sectional Championships— and
you’re disqualified.
What are the consequences of disqualification?
In all cases, the player is disqualified from participation
at that NTRP level. Each USTA Section will
determine which of two methods the section will follow
at the local and the championship level. The
effect on Team Standings may vary.
For a Self-Rated Player being disqualified,
matches played which produced strikes shall be
consdered losses for the DQ’ed player and wins
for the opponent. For a Computer-Rated Player
being disqualified, no changes are made to
standings.
Will a player be advised each time that he/she
earns a “strike”?
No. Notice occurs only after three strikes are
accumulated.
Will I be told exactly which matches earned me
“three strikes”?
Yes, with notification of disqualification you will be
provided with a printout of all your matches and the
NTRP level generated for each match.
Who is notified in the event of a disqualification?
By whom? How quickly?
Responsibility for monitoring dynamic ratings lies
with the Sectional Leagues Coordinator. When a
“third strike” situation arises, the SLC will notify (a)
the affected player, written notification by mail and
by e-mail if possible; (b) the player’s Team Captain,
using the Captain’s e-mail address as reported on
TennisLink; and (c) the relevant District and Local
League Coordinator. Notification is made within
one business day of determination that a third strike
has been received. Hard copy will be mailed to captain’s
and player’s address as it appears on the
team roster.

4. A player who is defaulted from a tournament for code violations
under the PPS or misconduct forfeits any points accumulated during
the tournament.
5. Annual ranking will be calculated based on a players 5 Best
Tournaments played within Nebraska during the calendar year,
January through December (i.e. A player plays 10 USTA sanctioned
tournaments within Nebraska, the PPR System will take that
players 5 best tournament results based on how he or she finishes
in a draw.)
There will be two levels of tournaments: Level 1 is Endorsements
and Team Events. Level 2 is all other NTA Tournaments.
6. At the end of the ranking year, a Standing List will be produced
based on the players’ 5 Best Tournaments.
7. A player must participate in a minimum of three tournaments in
the same age division and event. One of the tournaments must be

Nebraska Procedures for
Endorsement
The following procedures will be
used to determine endorsement in
USTA Missouri Valley Super Series
National Qualifier Tournaments.
SEGMENT II
(USTA Missouri Valley Super Events
in June)
Objectives: The first objective is to
provide a format that allows the top
Nebraska players to play against
each other. The second is to determine
Nebraska’s four quota spots
into the USTA Missouri Valley Super
Events in Segment II in June. The
endorsement process is one of
three routes to participation in these
tournaments. The other two routes
are by *receiving an at-large berth
from the USTA Missouri Valley into
these tournaments; or by receiving a
wildcard berth. (See the USTA
Missouri Valley Junior Section for
details.)
1. The Pre-Endorsement tournament
is open to all Nebraska District
juniors who are age-eligible for the
age division on June 30, 2006.
2. The Boys 14, 16, and 18 age divisions
will have a Pre-Endorsement
Tournament followed by an
Endorsement Tournament. The finalists
of the Pre-endorsement automatically
receive two of the spots.
– BOYS ––
� 10 Singles
1. Kevin M. Cahoy
2. David Liu
3. Noah Placzek
The players who finish in spots 3
through 10 qualify for the
Endorsement Tournament. The
Endorsement Tournament uses a
special draw format to select the
remaining two spots.
3. The Boys 12 and Girls 12, 14, 16
and 18 divisions and those divisions
that have 12 or fewer entrants in the
Pre-Endorsement will have only an
Endorsement Tournament. In these
divisions, the Endorsement
Tournament shall be used to determine
all four Nebraska quota spots.
Endorsement tournaments use a
special feed-in or compass draw format
determined by the NTA Junior
Competition Committee.
4. If a player declines to accept a
quota spot into the USTA Missouri
Valley Super Tournaments, the player
who finishes in the next place
shall be given the spot.
5. In order to encourage top ranked
players to play district tournaments,
the USTA Missouri Valley now
requires players who receive an atlarge
endorsement spot in the USTA
Missouri Valley Super Tournaments
to play in their district’s endorsement
process. In order to meet this
requirement, the highest Nebraska
player on the USTA Missouri Valley
Selection List who receives an atlarge
endorsement spot will be
required to play the winner of the
Nebraska Endorsement
Tournament; the second highest
player on this list who receives an
at-large spot will be required to play
the runner-up in the Nebraska
Endorsement Tournament, and the
third highest player on this list who
receives an at-large spot will be
required to play the third place finisher
in the Nebraska Endorsement
Tournament. These matches will be
played after the Nebraska
Endorsement Tournament at a time
determined by the NTA Junior
Competition Committee. These
matches count for ranking but will
not affect the order of finish in the
Endorsement Tournament because
the players receiving an at-large
spot do not take up a Nebraska
quota spot. (Note that if the NTA did
not require these top players to participate
in the endorsement process,
then under new USTA Missouri
Valley regulations, these players
would effectively take up Nebraska
quota spots.)

SEGMENT III
(USTA Missouri Valley Super Events
in November and December)
1. Nebraska is entitled to two quota
spots.
2. The Nebraska Closed
Tournament shall be used to determine
the two quota spots. The first
objective of this tournament is to
provide a format that allows the top
Nebraska players to play against
each other. The second is to determine
Nebraska’s two quota spots
into the USTA Missouri Valley Super
Tournaments in Segment III. The
tournament will use a special feedin
format determined by the NTA
Junior Competition Committee.
3. If a player declines to accept a
quota spot into the USTA Missouri
Valley Super Tournaments or if a
player will not be age eligible for the
USTA Missouri Valley Super
Tournaments, the player who finishes
in the next place shall be given
the spot.
4. If the player who finishes immediately
behind the player who is to
receive the second spot has not
played that player in the
Endorsement Tournament, then the
player may request a playoff for the
final spot, which request shall be
made before the player leaves the
tournament.
SEGMENT I
(USTA Missouri Valley Super Events
in January and February)
1. Nebraska is entitled to two quota
spots.
2. The spots will be given to the two
players ranked highest who are still
age-eligible for the division on Feb.
28, 2006 (the Missouri Valley
Section list will be used).
3. If a player declines a quota spot,
it will be offered to the next highest
ranked player who is age eligible.
Nebraska 12’s Team
1. The Nebraska 12s team is open
to players who are age eligible for
the division on May 31, 2006.
2. The team consists of ten boys
and ten girls who make the traveling

are alternates.
3. Players who made the traveling
team in 2006 and played in the top
half of the line-up are automatically

ADULTS
RANKINGS: To obtain a District ranking in singles,
a player must play a minimum of two (2)
sanctioned tournaments in the same division, in
which the player wants to be ranked. For a
doubles ranking, a doubles team must play
together, in at least two (2) sanctioned tournaments,
in the same divisions.
JUNIORS
A player's year-end ranking will be the player's
accumulative record for the twelve month period,
not per segment. The St. Louis District
bases their rankings on the "Points per Round"
system started in 2004.
IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE for a St. Louis
district ranking in the juniors, a player must play
at least two (2)USTA ST. Louis District sanctioned
events in the calendar year, in the same
age bracket. One of the two designated sanctioned
tournaments MUST be a district endorser
tournament. A player’s primary address must
be in the St. Louis District to be eligible to play
in our district endorsers.
The boys 16 & 18's will have their two endorser
tournaments for Segment II, in Jan/Feb. The
girls' 16's and 18's, depending on the Missouri
Valley schedule, may or may not have an
endorser for Segment III. Any head-to-head
results, that occur between two St. Louis District
players in an "out of district" sanctioned event,

will count toward SLDTA seeding, and their district
ranking, IF the victorious player reports the
results to the district office and once the results
are confirmed.
For the indoor segments (I & III), St. Louis will
be given 2 spots, per age division, directly into
the Super. For Segment II, the outdoor segment,
St. Louis will be given 6 spots. These will
go to the top three (3) finishers in each of the
two endorsers. The top three finishers in the
first endorser of Seg. II, may not play in the
second endorser for Seg. II, as they have
already earned a spot into the Super's for Seg.
II.
The "At-Large" list is a selection list generated
out of the Missouri Valley Section - not the St.
Louis District. If a player is confident they will
have an "at-large" spot, then they do not have
to play the endorser tournament(s), and they
will move directly into the Super tournament, if
they are indeed on this list. If a player is not
sure whether or not they will receive an at-large
spot, it will then be their decision to play, or not
to play in the endorser. If a player is not sure
about their chances of being on the at-large list,
they should enter the endorser with the understanding
that once the draw is made, they are
expected to play the tournament to completion,
otherwise suspension points will be handed out,
regardless of the "at-large" list. Entering an
endorser and then withdrawing before the draw

is made is allowed, with no suspension points
being handed out. The "at-large" list may or
may not be available prior to any of our endorser
tournaments. Juniors will be allowed to play
"up" in any age division in any district tournament
except ENDORSERS.
AGE REQUIREMENTS
A player is age eligible for an event if the player
does not exceed the maximum age for the age
division, by the last day of the tournament
month. The start date determines the tournament
month.
SEEDING REQUIREMENTS
Seeding is based on recent head-to-head
results of the specific players entered in the
tournament. TO BE CONSIDERED FOR
SEEDING, the player's match record must be
sent in with each and every entry form. We look
at local results, but will also take into consideration
out of district, head-to-head results, if we
are made aware of them. Do not assume we
already know your child's record or any results.
NOVICE CIRCUIT RULES
Eligibility rules for participation for the St. Louis
District Closed Novice Circuit and tournaments
are: (1) the player cannot be ranked in the top
15 in the St. Louis district; (2) the player cannot
be ranked in the top 30 in the USTA Missouri
Valley Section; (3) the player cannot be ranked
in the top 150 nationally.
