USTA Georgia would like to recognize our USTA League and Junior Team Tennis captains.  Team captains are a key component of USTA League and JTT program, devoting significant time to organizing and managing league teams. Being a team captain is a job that pays no salary, has few perks and requires a time investment that few appreciate.  Leagues could not exist were it not for team captains, as every team captain directly influences from 12-14 other teammates.

Our CSRATA captains are the heart and soul of tennis in the Central Savannah River Area: our area of eight counties extending through both Georgia and South Carolina.

Our captains of adult leagues have to balance having a "winning" team with including new players while holding onto old friendships, handle rescheduled upon rescheduled matches due to weather, local tournaments, and even state tournaments in two states, and sometimes have to work within the rules amongst grumbling not only of opposing teams, but also on their own team.

Our captains just roll with it and handle the grind for very little glory.  Selfless is probably the right term for CSRATA captains.  Routinely, they put the team before themselves, and their role extends to cheerleader, psychologist, and most importantly, FRIEND.  Most all CSRATA teams are close knit groups, and without captain, players would lose so much that has been added to their lives through playing tennis in the CSRA.
