This is part two of our conversation with Marilyn Sherman, the National Promotions Manager for USTA, and Dani Broadstreet, the NC Director of Adult Leagues.   

We learn what it was like for Dani to start her job as the NC Director of Adult Leagues during a pandemic and discuss with Marilyn what it is like to have an award be named after her – the Marilyn Sherman Spirit Award.  Everyone watch out for Marilyn in the 65 plus age group this year!

You no longer need a team number to register as an individual, and captains can find new players for their teams.  You can check out the different types of teams at the Captain’s Corner on the USTA website: https://www.usta.com/en/home/play/adult-tennis/programs/national/captain-s-corner.html.

 Marilyn Sherman is the National Promotions Manager for USTA.  She was the Director of Adult Tennis for the USTA Southern Section for 15 years and has worked for the national staff for 12 years.  If you hear of someone winning the Marilyn Sherman Spirit Award, this is her!  The Marilyn Sherman Spirit Award is given each year to an individual who demonstrates great passion and enthusiasm for growing the game.  

Dani Broadstreet is the NC Director of Adult Leagues.  She was previously with the Greensboro Tennis Foundation as the NJTL Director.  She’s happily been playing league tennis for 13 years!
