  • COMMUNITY TENNIS AND DIVERSITY: THE USTA SOUTHWEST COMMUNITY TENNIS DEPARTMENT SUPPORTS SEVERAL PROGRAMS INCLUDING SCHOOL TENNIS FOR BOTH IN SCHOOL PE CLASSES AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, CAMPUS KIDS DAYS (COMMUNITY EVENTS SURROUNDING COLLEGE TENNIS MATCHES) NJTL CHAPTERS (NATIONAL JR. TENNIS AND LEARNING NETWORK), JR.

THIS SUPPORT COMES IN THE FORM OF EDUCATIONAL TRAINING, EQUIPMENT, AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT.THE TENNIS ON CAMPUS PROGRAM SUPPORTS SEVEN UNIVERSITIES AND OVER 500 COLLEGE PLAYERS. IN 2024, WE DISTRIBUTED OVER $35,000 IN COMMUNITY FUNDING GRANTS TO 88 GRANT AWARD APPLICANTS. SEVERAL COACHING WORKSHOPS INCLUDING LEVEL 1 COACHING WORKSHOPS, COMMUNITY COACH WORKSHOPS, AND HIGH SCHOOL COACH WORKSHOPS WERE HELD WITH EDUCATION OFFERED FOR OVER 100 COACHES IN TOTAL. THE SECOND WOMEN'S TENNIS LEADERSHIP SUMMIT WAS ALSO HELD WITH OVER 60 FEMALE LEADERS FROM THE TENNIS INDUSTRY IN ATTENDANCE

    Expenses $983,382 · Grants $225,341 · Revenue $41,368

  • ADULT AND SENIOR COMPETITION: LEAGUE PARTICIPATION DURING THE 2024 YEAR FOR UNIQUE PARTICIPANTS WAS 6564 INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO AND EL PASO TX. WE HAD A TOTAL OF 20,846 LEAGUE REGISTRATIONS FOR THE 2024 YEAR IN THOSE SAME AREAS. WE ALSO HELD 8 SECTION LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 2024, THE SOUTHWEST TRI-LEVEL INVITATIONAL IN JANUARY, 2024 IN PHOENIX AZ; SOUTHWEST 55 & OVER MIXED INVITATIONAL IN FEBRUARY, 2024; THE SOUTHWEST 40 & OVER ADULT SECTIONAL IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM IN JUNE 2024 AND THE SOUTHWEST 18 & OVER ADULT SECTIONAL IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM IN AUGUST 2024 AND THE SOUTHWEST ADULT 55 & OVER SECTIONAL IN TUCSON, AZ IN SEPTEMBER 2024 AND THE SOUTHWEST MIXED DOUBLES 40 & OVER AND 18 & OVER IN SURPRISE, AZ IN SEPTEMBER OF 2024 AND FINALLY THE SOUTHWEST ADULT 65 & OVER INVITATIONAL IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ IN DECEMBER 2024. ALL AREAS RAN REGULAR USTA LEAGUE SEASONS SIMILAR TO 2023 THROUGHOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP YEAR.ADULT TOURNAMENTS: 2024 OVERALL IS RELATIVELY FLAT GROWTH FROM 2023. PARTICIPATION NUMBERS ARE DOWN FOR 2024 DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONE OF OUR LARGEST TOURNAMENTS WAS HELD IN FLORIDA. WE ALSO HAD TWO OTHER OF OUR REGULAR EVENTS NOT HAPPEN DUE TO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS. I ANTICIPATE 2025 TO BE A VERY FULL YEAR THAT WILL SHOW SIGNIFICANT GROWTH OVER 2024.

    Expenses $808,883 · Revenue $927,393

  • JUNIOR COMPETITION: IN 2024, THERE WERE 200 JUNIOR EVENTS AND 25 WORLD TENNIS NUMBER EVENTS. IN 2023, THERE WERE 211 JUNIOR AND 10 WORLD TENNIS NUMBER EVENTS. THE SECTION RUNS (ARE PROVIDERS/DIRECTORS) OF NEARLY 50% OF THESE EVENTS. THE OFFERINGS WERE FOR ADVANCED, INTERMEDIATE, AND BEGINNER PLAYERS 7-18 YEARS OF AGE. WE PROVIDED PLAYING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL PLAYERS ALONG THE JUNIOR PATHWAY THAT MEET THEIR NEEDS AND PLAYING ABILITIES. WE PROVIDED MORE LOCAL PLAY OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE SECTION TO HAVE ENOUGH LOCAL COMPETITION OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE THAT ARE NOT AT THE LEVEL TO TRAVEL TO COMPETE AND TO NOT INCUR ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. WITH WORLD TENNIS NUMBER EVENTS ON THE SCHEDULE, WE OFFER MORE LEVEL-BASED PLAY OPPORTUNITIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
