Dear Future Volunteer,
All of us are thrilled that you are considering donating your valuable time to USTA Florida. The success of our organization is dependent on volunteers like you giving their time and sharing their passion for tennis with others. Our staff and volunteers work as a "team" throughout the state to "promote and develop tennis in Florida."
Let’s get started and see how we can get you involved by matching up your time commitment, your interests, and any additional requests you feel are important. To assist us, please review the information below and complete the Starter Application.
Volunteers are needed at all levels including the local level (local communities), at the section level (within Florida) and nationally. We look forward to getting you onboard. What is your next step?
Sincerely,
Bob Pfaender
USTA Florida President
