5. Avoid bureaucracy 6. Learn from mistakes but be willing to make them By now, one of your hands is shading your eyes as you look forward rather than patting yourself on the back. The other can be holding a pen to write a check or better still be raised above your head to signal an offer of ideas, assistance and leadership.

USCTA By James Zug The future of the game is now. Junior tennis is thriving like it never has before. It is providing a stable and everreplicating foundation for the game going forward in addition to adding, in the very present, teenage moxie and collegiate enthusiasm to our clubs, leagues, tournaments and galleries. There are the bi-annual Van Alen and Clothier Cups, a burgeoning junior nationals tournament in singles and doubles, a national parent & child and junior weekends. There are more than fifty active junior members of the USCTA. This is a far cry from twenty years ago. The calendar was noticeably bereft of opportunities for juniors. The US Father & Son was started in 1976, and Philadelphia hosted it each Christmas holiday. Until the 1990s it was the sole national tournament open specifically to juniors. In the 1970s and 80s Jimmy Dunn organized two afternoon junior clinics each year in Philadelphia, one during the Christmas holidays before the Father & Son and the other in the spring. After the clinics, he ran a one-day under eighteen year-old, intra-club junior tournament, the socalled Philadelphia Junior Singles. “It was pretty informal,” remembered Morris Clothier, “though you did get your name up on the wall in gold paint if you won. We were all pretty terrified of Jimmy.” Page 18 Junior Tennis On The Rise The only other event was the legendary Van Alen Cup, which was run more or less by the Van Alen family and the later by Bill Clothier, independently of the USCTA. In 1956 Jimmy Van Alen, who had studied at Cambridge in the 1920s, decided to launch a court tennis version of the Prentice Cup — an Oxford & Cambridge v. Harvard & Yale six-man biennial lawn tennis competition started in 1921. The plan was a biennial match between a British team from Oxford and Cambridge (which has almost always been the case) and a US team from American universities (which has been the case less often).
