FFRROOMM TTHHEE PPRREESSIIDDEENNTT<br />
<strong>USTA</strong>/Middle Illinois Tennis Participants and Supporters,<br />
It has been an exciting year for MITA, and one of sadness too. I lost a close personal friend, and MITA lost one of its<br />
most passionate tennis advocates with the passing of Rita Hertenstein November 12, 2011. She never quit promoting tennis;<br />
she was even encouraging the nurses to take up tennis from her hospital bed!!! (Her BIO is below.)<br />
Middle Illinois Tennis Association and Southern Illinois Tennis Association<br />
will soon be<strong>com</strong>e<br />
Mid-South Illinois Tennis Association!<br />
The merger will be official January 1, 2013. By expanding boundaries, sharing our talent pool, and <strong>com</strong>bining our<br />
resources we will be able to reach players and <strong>com</strong>munities that have been under served prior to this merger.<br />
Patty Bramlet was hired as Executive Director for both districts starting January 1, <strong>2012</strong>, and will continue in this<br />
capacity after the merger. She was the SITA Executive Director before accepting this position.<br />
A Special Thanks To:<br />
Midwest Section for all their help and guidance during the merger process.<br />
Ron Brooks for his many volunteer hours; without his advice and support this merger would have never taken place.<br />
Joann Blair (District League Coordinator), for her willingness to work with the SITA Adult League Players before the<br />
merger is official.<br />
Vicki Schmidgall (Junior Program Director) and Bret Schrama (Tennis Service Representative), for their aggressive campaign<br />
to introduce the <strong>USTA</strong> Junior Team Tennis programs to new <strong>com</strong>munities and players in MITA.<br />
Patty for providing a more professional delivery system. Take a look at the web page, it is updated on a regular basis, and<br />
will have an exciting new look soon. www.middleillinois.usta.<strong>com</strong><br />
This merger will be a great opportunity for all the adult and junior tennis players in MITA and SITA. I ask that you show<br />
your support of the Mid-South Tennis Association by volunteering to serve, or accept when asked to serve, to promote<br />
and develop the game of tennis in our great district!<br />
Norma Shook<br />
MITA President<br />
In Memory of Rita Ann Hertenstein<br />
Rita is survived by her husband, Robert D. Hertenstein, MD, her son, Robert D. (Erika)<br />
Hertenstein, and two grandchildren. Rita graduated from Pontiac High School and received her<br />
RN from the OSF School of Nursing.<br />
She was a dedicated member of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and belonged to the<br />

served as its president. She also served on the Board of Directors of the OSF College of Nursing and volunteered for<br />
many years at Bel-Wood Nursing Home and the American Red Cross, both in Peoria.<br />
She was one of the first MITA District League Coordinators, served on the MITA Board as a CTA Delegate, and volunteered<br />
for many <strong>com</strong>mittees. She also captained many teams, <strong>com</strong>peting in 4 National Championships and winning<br />
two. She captained a team that will be represented MITA in Arizona on April 13th, <strong>2012</strong>; the team will be playing in her<br />
memory.<br />

HOW 10 AND UNDER TENNIS<br />
HAS CHANGED THE GAME<br />
The more fun kids have by being able to rally right from the start, the more they will play and the<br />
faster they will learn. This is the key to 10 and Under Tennis using the QuickStart Tennis play format.<br />
Itʼs an exciting new way to learn and play tennis, designed specifically for kids. And itʼs the<br />
new rule for <strong>USTA</strong> 10 and Under tournament play and Jr. Team Tennis.<br />
Shorter, lighter racquets, slower and lower-bouncing balls, smaller court dimensions and modified<br />
scoring are tailored to the age and size of the child. 10 and Under Tennis enables kids to begin playing<br />
much sooner so they can learn the strategy and tactics of tennis while playing matches in a way<br />
that is enjoyable and rewarding. 10 and Under Tennis is divided into two different levels for ages 8<br />
and under and ages 9-10.<br />
The majority of youth sports have followed this formula for years, from smaller bats for baseball to<br />
shortened playing surfaces and smaller balls for basketball and soccer.<br />
Now with 10 and Under Tennis, kids will have immediate success which leads to greater confidence,<br />
more enthusiastic play and faster progress…all while having more fun! Get your kid in the game at<br />

TENNIS ACHIEVEMENTS<br />
CCOONNGGRRAATTUULLAATTIIOONNSS<br />
Senior player Martha Downing has been a teaching pro and director at tennis clubs<br />
in Sacramento for over 35 years, is a regular on the international cup teams, holds 27<br />
Gold Balls, donates her time to charity tournaments and has been named <strong>USTA</strong> NorCal<br />
Senior Player of the Year four different times.<br />
Martha was first introduced to tennis when she was nine years old. She explains, "My<br />
family moved next to a park in Decatur, Illinois – the only park in the area that had cloth<br />
nets. My two older sisters and I could walk over and participate in the free lessons that<br />
were being offered."<br />
Martha reached a junior ranking of 15 in Girlʼs 16s and 28 in Girlʼs 18s, but no high<br />
school team meant that she had to find alternative opportunities to play <strong>com</strong>petitively. "I<br />
mostly played on my own. I was able to travel on intersectional teams. At the time there was only one national<br />
junior tournament and luckily for me it was in Illinois," she says.<br />
Wanting warmer weather so that she could play tennis more often, Martha attended college at Stanford<br />
University in 1967. After college Martha decided to turn her passion into a career. Her first teaching position<br />
was as the Tennis Director at the Castilleja School in Palo Alto. Later, she was hired as the Tennis Director at<br />
Millennium Sports Club El Dorado, where she remained for 19 years.<br />
Marthaʼs senior NorCal record would make any <strong>com</strong>petitive player envious; she has reached an Open #1<br />
ranking in singles seven times and three times in doubles. Her USPTA rankings have been just as impressive,<br />
reaching the #1 ranking in doubles five different times, once in singles and she was named <strong>USTA</strong> NorCal player<br />
of the year four times. In 2009, she was inducted in the Sacramento Tennis Hall of Fame.<br />
Despite her busy schedule, Martha always made time to give back to the sport that she loved by regularly<br />
donating her time to benefit tournaments and worthy causes.<br />
Western Michiganʼs head women's tennis coach Betsy Kuhle<br />
recorded her historic 500th career victory on March 23, <strong>2012</strong>. Kuhle is<br />
just the second coach in the history of Western Michigan athletics to<br />
reach 500 career wins, joining former baseball coach Fred Decker in the<br />
exclusive club. Kuhle is one of just three active MAC coaches in any<br />
sport to reach 500 career wins.<br />
A 2006 inductee into the Western Michigan Athletic Hall of Fame,<br />
Kuhle has long since established the womenʼs tennis program as not<br />
only one of the top programs in the Mid-American Conference, but the region as well. The longest-tenured<br />
coach at WMU in any sport, the 2011-12 season will mark the 30th year that Kuhle will guide the Bronco tennis<br />
program. Kuhle also holds the MAC record with seven MAC Coach of the Year awards.<br />
The programʼs academic success parallels the Broncosʼ success on the court. Twenty six of Kuhleʼs players<br />
have been named to the MAC All-Academic team; eight have been named ITA/Volvo Scholar-Athletes; and<br />
three were GTE Academic All-District choices. Kuhleʼs program has been honored as an ITA All-Academic team<br />
12 years in a row and there has been a 98 percent graduation rate during the Kuhle era.<br />
She has also served as coach at the United States Tennis Association Western Section 16-and-under Zonal<br />
Championships in 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.<br />
A native of Decatur, Illinois, Betsy began playing tennis before it was a varsity sport in high school. A 1976<br />
graduate of the University of Illinois with a bachelorʼs degree in finance, Kuhle played No. 1 singles for the Illini.<br />
She received a masterʼs degree in business administration from WMU in December of 1987. Kuhle captured the<br />
1994 ITA 35-and-over title and ranked as high as fourth in the Western Tennis Associationʼs rankings. She also<br />
served as the chairperson for the WTA Junior Wightman Cup Tournament.<br />
Active in the profession, Kuhle is currently on the ITA Board of Directors and a member of the operating<br />
<strong>com</strong>mittee. She was also chair of the ITA Midwest Regional <strong>com</strong>mittee from 1992-95 and 2000-03.<br />
