RELATED ORGANIZATIONS
Utah Tennis Umpires Association
Though an independent organization, the Utah Tennis Umpires Association (UTUA) works closely with Utah Tennis in providing certified officials for sanctioned tournaments and Adult & Junior League Playoffs held in the State of Utah. Certified officials also work at college matches throughout the state, sectional and national events throughout the Intermountain Section and in other states. Additional opportunities are available at the professional level as well, and we have several district umpires who officiate at the US OPEN and other ATP & WTA events throughout the U.S. More people are always needed for this work. The training and certification classes are free and normally scheduled at the beginning of the year. Additional umpire schools we also be offered during year and new officials need to be trained.

If you have any interest in becoming an umpire please contact Utah Tennis Association for more information on the next training.

USPTA/Utah Professional Tennis Association
2009 USPTA/UPTA* President: Lindsay Rawstorne

The Utah Professional Tennis Association is a non-profit organization of Utah tennis teaching and playing professionals. The UPTA is affiliated with the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA), although all tennis pros, regardless of their affiliation, are welcome to become members. The teaching professional is an important link to the players, and for that reason, the UPTA was established.
Goals of the USPTA/UPTA:
1. To help promote the game of tennis.
2. Represent and serve the interest of the teaching professional and the tennis facility.
3. Act as a “delivery system” to any program designed to grow the game.
4. Foster cooperation between teaching professionals, tennis facilities, the USTA and tennis players in Utah.
