Get ready to tune in for some brand new November episodes of USTA Florida’s Here to Serve podcast series.
Launched in April, the Here to Serve series aims to keep the Florida tennis community updated about the organization’s return to play in the COVID-19 environment. Each episode includes a question and answer session with USTA Florida program directors or other leaders in the local tennis community about what is being done to re-imagine programs and play.
Tentative schedule of upcoming topics:
