Overview of Presentation What is Advocacy? What is it in the USTA Context? What is our approach? Major Issues for public sector decision-makers As applied to youth issues How can grassroots advocacy grow the game of tennis? Advocacy Plan USTA’s Commitment to Advocacy Discussion / Q & A

What is Advocacy? Advocacy is the effort to convince any decision- maker that the program, initiative, or proposal that you are advancing can effectively address the his/hers pressing concerns.

Sustained Public Support & Public Policy Change Passion and Knowledge of Tennis Advocacy in the USTA Context The Needs and Objectives of Schools, Communities, Colleges, and Local Governments

Our Core Belief We believe that the sport of tennis can improve: schools, communities, opportunities for youth quality of life for all.

Our Approach Do not focus on Tennis Focus on the concerns of the public official or public body How do Tennis facilities and programs address public problems? How does getting you what you want, help the decision-maker?

USTA Advocacy Plan Public Facilities Building and Renovating Schools and After-School Building and supporting programs and infrastructure Tennis in the Parks Programming/Staffing and Park Facilities Collegiate Programs Varsity tennis Recreational Tennis on Campus Contributions of College Tennis to Local Communities

USTA’s Advocacy Agenda Preservation, Growth and Renovation of Tennis Facilities open to and easily accessible to the public Growth of Tennis Programming in After- School Programs Expansion of Tennis in Public Parks with Quality Staffing and Programming Preservation, Growth and Strengthening of Tennis on College Campuses

Public Sector Focus This Agenda Primarily Targets Public Sector Decision-Maker Government Leaders (Executive and Legislative) School Administrators and Educators Park Officials Public College Leaders But not exclusively so. Private College Leaders Influential Civic Leaders
