The overall goal is to promote tennis playing and membership joining on the Wallingford courts.

The teams also increase membership. There are monthly board meetings with the exception of no December meeting. There are responsibilities year round. Send frequent newsletters. Create and promote tennis social events. Share team information. Answer members and potential members’ emails about tennis. Manage member accounts on yourcourts.com and send welcome emails and information updates.

 

January- February: 

  • Make sure the pro contract(s) are signed and pros are fully committed.  Get approval for court maintenance, this should now be the tennis facilities assistant.
  • Teams are very important to the club. Spring team organization begins now. Contact Women’s Inter-club Tennis Association (Women’s Cup)  rep and the last year’s captains to make sure the league and the teams are continuing. Also contact USTA past captions. You may have to find new captains and or help captains find team players.  Recently there have been two women’s cup teams, a men’s and mixed Philly Inter club teams and 4-5 women’s USTA teams. 
  • Order Porta Potty for spring.

March- 

  • Load teams sign ups into YourCourts.com. Assist captains in uploading team information, reserving courts for matches and practices and using yourcourts.com
  • On yourcourts.com: Add new members and delete old members (info provided by membership chair)

June- August

September- December

  • Cancel Porta Potty.
