In just a few more days, the Racquetheads will be on their way to Indian Wells, CA to compete in their first time ever at a National Championships. It has been a tough, and fun few weeks as they work together trying to do a fund raiser and getting families, friends, and co-workers to make a donation to help the team out. As of today, the team has collected $6,062.00 in donations and fund raiser. This is over half the amount of the team’s expenses. Way to go Racquetheads!
Prime, Inc wrote an article about the Racquetheads.
Two Prime Inc Associates, Huong Doan and Nancy Winters, recently qualified for the USTA National Championship Tennis Tournament held October 12-14 in Indian Wells, CA by virtue of their team capturing the Missouri Valley Sectional Championship at Oklahoma City. The Missouri Valley Section is made up of teams from Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. Nancy is a stellar doubles player and Huong serves as the team coach and co-captain of the Racquetheads, a 50+ age division team comprised of Springfield, MO-area women.
The USTA (United States Tennis Association) League was established in 1980; it has grown from 13,000 participants in a few parts of the country and Puerto Rico to more than 800,000 players across the nation today, making it the world’s largest recreational tennis program. In 2012, more the 17,000 players have participated in Missouri Valley League play. The USTA League was established to provide recreational tennis players throughout the country with the opportunity to compete against players of similar ability and levels.
Through their efforts, the Racquetheads became one of only seventeen teams nation-wide, and the first-ever women’s team from Springfield, to qualify for this prestigious event. Congratulations and best of luck as Nancy and Huong represent Prime, Springfield, MO and the state of Missouri in their pursuit of a National Championship!
