MITA ORGANIZATION<br />

<strong>USTA</strong>/Middle Illinois Tennis Participants and Supporters,<br />

This has been a great year for tennis in Middle Illinois. Thanks to our staff and volunteers we have increased numbers<br />

in both the <strong>USTA</strong> Junior and Adult memberships. We received a wel<strong>com</strong>e increase in funding from Midwest Section<br />

because of these increased numbers. All Midwest Section goals in the <strong>USTA</strong>/MITA Leagues were met and MITA has<br />

earned 4 Junior quota spots for <strong>2011</strong>. Thanks to our District League Coordinator, Joann Blair, our Tennis Service<br />

Representative, Brett Schrama, and our MITA Executive Director, Vicki Schmidgall, for a job well done!<br />

There is more exciting news!<br />

The MITA Board of Directors, Delegates at Large and Organizational Member Delegates have agreed to discuss and<br />

explore a possible merger with Southern Illinois Tennis Association. SITA conducted a vote and agreed to explore this<br />

merger as well. Our Districts are both small in <strong>com</strong>parison to most other Districts in Midwest Section.<br />

Midwest Section has appointed Ron Brooks as the liaison for this project. Ron, a Past President of Midwest Section, has<br />

been attending our MITA Board meetings for several years. Ron’s volunteer achievements are too numerous to list. I am<br />

grateful for the help he has given us to work through some of the details of this possible merger. I asked Ron to add a<br />

few <strong>com</strong>ments on the advantages of a MITA/SITA merger.<br />

The following is his response:<br />

• As a <strong>com</strong>bined District, total membership and adult membership would move the <strong>com</strong>bined districts to the 10th<br />

largest and 9th largest in junior membership. Larger membership and growth equates to more revenue to support<br />

programs.<br />

• Stronger Junior Teams—Grow Junior “Quota”<br />

• A single full time Executive Director (establish office for better organizational excellence, use of information<br />

technology, and better delivery system)<br />

• A <strong>com</strong>bined Board of Directors would provide greater leadership within the tennis family (better succession<br />

opportunities/financial planning)<br />

• A larger volunteer base to grow the game (tap synergies of existing volunteer structure—develop a retention<br />

initiative)<br />

• Financial stability and resources available to “grow the game”<br />

• A stronger delivery system to refocus existing CTA’s on delivering “participation” in our programs<br />

• A shared desire for change and improvement<br />

• Development of programs to build and/or refurbish tennis courts and backboards in selected areas<br />

• Development of an interactive web site with new resources<br />

I wel<strong>com</strong>e your <strong>com</strong>ments and feedback as we move forward on this project.<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 />

Although David Welch has been an athlete his entire life, he came to tennis late.<br />

David grew up in rural Logan County, Illinois near Elkhart. He attended Mt.<br />

Pulaski High School where his basketball team won the Illinois State High School<br />

Championship his junior year and finished fourth his senior year. He went on to<br />

play college basketball at Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington.<br />

At age 25, David began playing the king of sports. However, tennis was initially<br />

just a summer sport for David, with his main passion being platform tennis.<br />

David discovered platform tennis in 1989 at Washington Park in Springfield, Illinois. He quickly became a fanatic.<br />

In making many calls per week to set up matches, he single-handedly doubled or tripled the number of platform<br />

tennis players in Springfield.<br />

Through the internet, David found a platform tennis tournament in St. Louis and signed up for it in 1995. That<br />

first St. Louis tournament exposed David to a higher level of play. Through observation and getting to know top<br />

notch out of town players, David imported to Springfield new techniques and a higher level of platform tennis<br />

skill. As a direct result, Springfield Platform Tennis players have since won many matches (and more than a few<br />

titles) in platform tennis tournaments in St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Grand<br />

Rapids, Michigan and Cincinnati, among other places. Also, thanks to David’s promotion of Springfield platform<br />

tennis, we now have an annual tournament, which has been participated in by players from St. Louis, Kansas<br />

City, Chicago and Madison, Wisconsin, among other places.<br />

In 2008, due to an ever more painful hip, David had hip replacement surgery. The surgery was successful, so<br />

successful that a couple of months after getting a bionic hip, he was playing singles again at a very high level.<br />

Unfortunately, however, David’s new hardware did not take well to platform tennis. After playing another season,<br />

he retired from platform tennis and became involved in <strong>USTA</strong> league play. With his usual high energy, intensity,<br />

and focused dedication, he single-handedly organized and managed several <strong>USTA</strong> men’s tennis teams with<br />

significant early success. He captained a 3.5 Senior men’s team to a second place finish at Section this past summer<br />

and his 8.5 Men’s Combo team just won Section at Ft. Wayne. He plays on the 8.0 Sr. Mixed team captained<br />

by Kathy Sigle that is headed for National’s in April.<br />

In conclusion, we wholeheartedly support the nomination of David Welch for the <strong>USTA</strong> Volunteer of the Year<br />

award because David has single-handedly increased both the quantity and quality of Springfield tennis — first<br />

on the platform tennis courts and now, year round, in regular tennis. As a result, we are all playing at a higher<br />

level, with faster feet, fewer pounds, and a better, more interesting life. Thank you David.<br />
