From a Divisional standpoint:
P RESIDENT’ S RE P ORT
Hello fellow San Diego USPTA Tennis Professionals:
Labor Day always marks the passage into a new tennis season.
Summer programs and camps are over for the year while ladies
leagues and after-school junior programs are beginning for another
year. Hope your summer was successful and prosperous,
and that fall programs are off to a good start for all of you.
The Mercury Insurance Open (MIO): The MIO at the La Costa Resort and Spa
generously provided two free tickets to many of our San Diego Division tennis
pros. I hope you were able to take advantage of some wonderful women’s pro
tennis viewing again this year.
USPTA Tennis Professional Free Lunch (TPFL) and Seminar: The La Jolla
Beach and Tennis Club hosted a USPTA Tennis Professional Free Lunch and
Seminar on September 5 th . Our division TPFLs are an on-going series of on-court
seminars and lunches for the pros hosted by the division. This is an opportunity
for all of us to get together to share knowledge, experience, techniques, insights,
etc. I hope many of you were able to attend.
Holiday Giving: Keep in mind the “holiday giving season” is just around the
corner. The San Diego Division has a tradition of collecting goods for the homeless,
underprivileged, and abused of our community. More information will be
sent later; please consider putting out collection boxes at your club.
On the National Level:
The USPTA World Conference on Tennis: The USPTA World Conference
on Tennis was held in beautiful Monterey, California, September 16-22. The
conference provides an opportunity to meet the best and the brightest talent in
our industry, and participate in continuing education offered during the fi ve days
of on-court and classroom seminars and workshops.
New CEO: As most of you know, our respected CEO of thirty plus years, Tim
Heckler, has announced that he will be retiring at the end of <strong>2012</strong>. John Embree
has been hired as the new CEO for the USPTA. The USPTA is indebted to Tim
for his 30 years of service, his passion, and commitment to the working tennis
professional.
Enjoy the change to some cooler weather, and I hope to see you on the courts!

USTA’S TENNIS ON CAMPUS - HOW SWEET IT IS!
As a USPTA Tennis Teaching Professional you not
only teach those that come through your doors, you
provide a circle of tennis information for your students
every day. I am sure your older students are
encouraged to sign up for lessons, drill and play,
tournaments and league play while you encourage
younger students to enter the game through play
days, tournaments, high school tennis and eventually
progress them towards college tennis and leagues.
You might even ask all of them to attend local tennis
events to show support for the sport and potentially
ask them to join the USTA.
When the USTA began the Tennis On Campus program
a little over 10 years ago, no one had any idea
what the program would bring. In those 10 short
years the program has progressed to upwards of 600
colleges and universities working with over 35,000
non-varsity collegiate intramural and club tennis team
players. According to many industry analysts, this
has been one of the brightest spots in aiding tennis
growth over the past few years.
As a USPTA member serving on the USTA’s Tennis
On Campus Committee, I have seen tremendous
growth of this program. I believe the reasons are

many; they socialize, they fundraise, they budget time,
participate in community service projects, travel and network
while actively supporting one another in a socially
coed team environment. It is the future. As a USPTA
Professional, this group is extremely important to you
because it will be your next generation of frequent players.
Your facility should actively begin marketing to this
expanding group for building membership and programming
revenue, equipment sales, court time and for your
survival.
If you are working with high school age tennis players,
please be sure they are aware of Tennis On Campus. For
the young person who wants to play in college, but may
lack the skills required for Varsity play, this is the answer.
Please relay the TOC website, www.tennisoncampus.com

will be glad you did.

“Teaching Club/Recreational Players to Play Like
the Pros”
by Brad Humphreys, USPTA Certifi ed
Our USPTA San Diego Division is alive and well! We
are lucky to have such great-dedicated leadership in our
Division and a large number of teaching professionals
willing to take time out of their busy schedules to share
their knowledge.
Another USPTA San Diego Division successful TPFL
took place on September 5, <strong>2012</strong>, at the La Jolla Beach
and Tennis Club, thanks to over 25 teaching professionals
attending and participating! Most of those attending seized
the opportunity to share their expertise and engaged an
open mind in thought provoking dialog.
A special “Thank You” to Marc Assaraf, Derrick Miller and Matt Previdi for helping me get things started.
Following is an extremely condensed version of some of our “Tennis Tips”:
Develop the athlete and then the tennis player.
Soccer ball return of serve. Teaches player to move with their feet, stepping out at a 45-degree angle.
Start play right away with serve and return. Run for every ball in or out.
Spilt step, squeak shoes, lean forward on toes. Anticipate and turn right or left quick.
Two steps for groundstrokes, one step for volley.
Utilize ITF Coaching handout ‘Assessing Your Tennis’.
Volley – push the door open, do not slam it shut.
Keep elbow in front of body on volleys.
See backside of strings when hitting volley.
Lift glass of water up for the toss without a shower, push label on ball straight up, let wrist bend down as
hand goes up.
Use exhale words like “hit”, watch the “ball”, to create breathing, relaxation, release of tension.
Eight board theory – toss off the hip, integrate with body. Top four male players do not land with both feet
at the same time in a split step – they land 1–2, or “tap–tap”.
All movement begins from the core. Abdominal center turns fi rst to hit a volley.
Teach like the pros play.
The better the player, the less they think. Train student to develop sub conscious. Imagine a diamond shaped
graph of the developing tennis player's thinking. When starting to learn tennis, the beginner does not know
what to think and the expert thinks very little. (In between there may be a lot of thinking.)
Focus on the big picture. Students work on strokes, pros work on strategy.
“Mind your own business.” Face ahead, focus ahead in doubles.

continued from previous page
Coil on service toss; use net post to orient direction of toss.
Have the courage to tell yourself the truth about what you are observing from a student, and then have the
courage to tell the parents regardless of the consequences.
We each have an obligation and responsibility to contribute to our professional organization, to give back to the
game of tennis and our community that has contributed to our success. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Look forward to seeing you at our next USPTA San Diego Division event.
Those Teaching Pros participating were:
Nelson Alapi, Marc Assaraf, Oscar Blando, Nataliya Bondarenko, Doug Bradley, Jack Broudy, Andrew Cretella, Don
Gomsi, Geoff Griffi n, Brad Humphreys, DJ Johnson, Steve Kappes, Conan Lorenzo, Eric Mann, Derek Miller, Tom

Jose Torres, Aurelie Udall and Woody Yocom.
Gretchen Magers was recently appointed the new
head coach for women's tennis at Claremont-Mudd-
Scripps College.
“Gretchen brings a phenomenal background of competitive
experiences in tennis: Collegiate, International,
Olympic, and as a teaching pro,” Sutton said.
“All this is coupled with her enthusiasm, energy, and
excitement for the opportunity of working with a team
of student-athletes who have the potential to excel
in collegiate tennis. We are very fortunate to have
Coach Magers in our program and I look forward to
the continued growth and success of Athena tennis.”
Magers has been the head women’s tennis coach for
San Diego City College since 2008. In addition to
her coaching experience, Magers served as the head
tennis professional at Peninsula Tennis Club from
1996-<strong>2012</strong>. She has also served as tennis professional
at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, Lomas Santa
Fe Country Club and Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.
“I can’t wait to get to Claremont and help the CMS
Athenas tennis team reach new heights,” said Magers.
“It is a dream come true for me to be at a school like
the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps College. The academic
reputations, the exceptional student bodies and world
class facilities make for an ideal environment for our
student-athletes to thrive. I am so grateful for the op-

Member News
portunity to work with the returning players, incoming
players and our capable tennis staff of Kathy Settles and
Hank Krieger. The sky is the limit with this team.”
Magers played 10 years on the WTA tour and was a top
20 singles and doubles player. She was a quarterfi nalist
at the U.S. Open, French Open and Wimbledon. She
represented the United States in the 1984 Olympics, the
World University Games, the Pan American Games and
the Senior ITF World Championships. Collegiately, she
was a four-time All-American at Trinity University where
she was NCAA doubles champion in 1983 and NCAA
runner-up in singles and doubles in both 1985 and 1986.
Magers has a Bachelor’s in Physical Education from Trinity
with a minor in Biology. She also earned a Master’s
in Sports Administration from California University of
Pennsylvania.
The San Diego Division will miss Gretchen and we wish
her well!

The USPTA has announced plans to move forward following
Tim Heckler’s retirement as chief executive offi cer effective
Dec. 31, <strong>2012</strong>, after 30 years in the position.
Heckler announced his intent to retire earlier this year and the
Board of Directors also offered Heckler a one-year severance
package through the end of 2013, which was ratifi ed by a vote
of the entire Executive Committee in April.
The Board of Directors recently hired industry veteran John
Embree as the new CEO/Executive Director. Embree began
transitioning into his role as of Oct. 1 and will be relocating
to the national offi ce in Houston on Nov. 1.
“The USPTA is indebted to Tim Heckler for taking USPTA
to the next level, and his 30 years of service as CEO is
a demonstration of his passion, his commitment to the
association, and his endless hard work for helping and
improving the well-being of the tennis-teaching professional,”
President Daglis said.
The USPTA honored Heckler in 2000 by naming him a grand
inductee in the Association’s Hall of Fame. He also received
the International Tennis Hall of Fame’s Tennis Educational
Merit Award in 2002 and was inducted into the Texas Tennis
Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2008 he received the highest honor
awarded by the United States Professional Tennis Association,
the George Bacso Lifetime Achievement Award.
“We are pleased to welcome John Embree into the USPTA
family. His vast tennis industry expertise, contacts, and
company management skills will serve the USPTA well,” said
President Tom Daglis.

Tim Heckler Retires
Embree has held a wide variety of infl uential tennis industry
roles for more than 30 years. They include serving as President
of Prince Sports, The Americas; President of Balle de Match
LLC; and Vice President/General Manager, Racquet Sports
Division for Wilson Sporting Goods Co. Most recently, he
launched a tennis consulting practice to assist endemic brands,
associations and new corporate entities in maximizing their
impact in the tennis marketplace. His client list included the
USTA, Intercollegiate Tennis Association, Peter Burwash
International, Off the Grid Technologies, and Donnay USA.
Embree has served on many national USTA Committees,
including the USTA Nominating Committee in 2005-2006
and currently as the Vice Chair of USTA Professional Circuits
Committee. In addition, he recently served as Presidential
appointee of the Board of Directors of USTA Middle States
section, is a past member of TIA Board of Directors and
Executive Committee, member of the Board of Directors of
American College of Sports Medicine Foundation, and past
President of the Chicago Tennis Patrons Foundation. One of
his proudest achievements in tennis was the creation of the
USTA Adult League Tennis program in 1980, when he served
as the fi rst USTA Adult League Tennis Administrator for two
years. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Washington & Lee
University in Lexington, VA, and was inducted into the W&L
Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005.

Point of Contact for Directional
Control "The Ball Clock"
Method; "The Ball Clock"
Level: This information pertains to all level of players.
To help students understand how to hit the ball in different
directions, use the clock analogy.
1. Think of the tennis ball as a clock (see picture)
- Forehand cross court, the racket contact will be at 3:00
- Forehand inside-out cross court, the racket contact at
9:00
- Forehand down the line, the racket contact at the “smile
face”
- For hand topspin the racket contact at 6:00 and up
- For hand heavy topspin the racket contact will start at
6:00 and fi nish up at 12:00
Use the same concept for backhand.
This method will help the student keep their eyes on the
ball. It is simple to understand and the students learn
how to direct the ball to different places across the net.
Tennis Ball Clock Nataliya Bondarenko
Serve and overhead (smash)
Method: “Brushing the hair”
Level: Children and Adult Beginners
1. Ready position sideways
2. Tell your student to brush his/her hair on the back of
their head with their racket’s string pattern (see picture)
3. The other arm pointed where to make contact with
the ball (another way to explain the perfect trophy
position)
Tennis Tips
by Nataliya Bondarenko
Overhead Smash
Demonstrations
“Unit turn”
Students who are used to playing with linear momentum
strokes have a diffi cult time with the UNIT TURN.
To help them transition into more angular momentum
strokes try this exercise:
Use a warm-up exercise on and off the tennis court
(see two pictures) to get student to turn the shoulders
and rotate the upper body. After done enough times,
this will seem more natural to them in the lesson.
Nataliya is a former WTA
tour player learning her
game in Kyiv, Ukraine,
competing on the
Soviet Union national
team. She coaches at
Barnes Tennis Center.
