Jr Team Tennis Local Youth Play Coordinator (Vero Beach)

About USTA Florida:

We here at US Tennis Association (USTA) Florida not only help people play tennis, we also help build communities. And we have been doing it for over 70 years. Our mission is to promote & develop tennis for all! From Youth to College to Adult, we make tennis fun for all. We work with public and private facilities and organizations across the state to create more opportunities for you to play. That’s our mission and we are pretty proud of it. When you join USTA Florida, you are helping to (re)build courts, putting racquets in kids’ hands, and getting programs up and running in your local park or facility. Since 2010 alone, we’ve given more that $1 million in grants for equipment, courts, and programs. That’s right, we’re a non-profit, volunteer-led organization that works each and every day of the year to serve our more that 40,000 individual and 1,000 organization members. It takes a lot of people to grow tennis in Florida, and our volunteers come from all walks of life. They have one thing in common: a LOVE for tennis.
