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.

Importance of Captains to Chata…

Chata is a small CTA and we are so grateful for all our members that volunteer to be captains!  We welcome new captains as well as seasoned captains and when possible pair them together to facilitate learning.  Our Captains are a valuable liaison for our membership and players.  Chata Captains also help with recruiting new people to tennis and welcoming back players who have not played leagues in a while. Our Captains are a valuable representative of what chata has to offer for league and casual play.

Katie and Suzie are new (approx. 1 year) to tennis, started with a clinic with Bill Champion, the pro at McCluskey Tennis Center.  Bill had a large group of ladies that started and the same time.  These two girls have emerged as sort of their leader and have both been captains.  They started out doing it together and then I had a need for another captain so they each took a team even though it meant that they would as sisters be on opposing teams.  They took care of dividing the teams and contacting their players with team numbers etc.  They both have helped and volunteered at the Tri-Level State Championships that Chata hosts.  They love tennis and are great representatives of USTA Leagues and Chata.

Sincerely,

Karen Bryant
