USTA Eastern’s Sportsmanship Project

USTA Eastern is proud to announce a new and improved way to recognize and reward good sportsmanship and fair play at our junior tournaments. The initiative is designed to promote good sportsmanship and a positive environment for all who participate in tennis. The Sportsmanship Project will reward nominees in the following categories:

  1. Players that receive 5 or more nominations will receive a certificate and a refocus band 
  2. The nominator that has submitted the most player nominations will receive a branded USTA Eastern beach towel 
  3. The tournament director whose events have collected the most nominations will receive a backpack
All sportsmanship nominations will be submitted to our Sportsmanship Subcommittee, in conjunction with other sportsmanship recognition platforms, for the chance to be the overall Section Sportsmanship Award Winner in their respective age group at the US Open Jr Awards Gala, where the winners are awarded 2 US Open grounds tickets with access to the Overlook Hospitality.
