I have an overriding tendency to recruit tennis officials wherever I go--and it causes my son and daughter great embarrassment but it also gets us some much-needed new officials...
In case everyone hasn't noticed we are experiencing a severe shortage of new officials and we all need to pitch in and do our best to find some new ones.
Here are some guidelines that might help:
* If they are tennis players, they are prime prospects so don't be afraid to go after them.
* If they are over 20 and under 90, they are prospects. We can get a razor for the young ones and glasses for the old ones.
* Don't be shy. They need to hear about these great officiating opportunities.
* Give them the link to the blog and they can navigate their way to becoming an official fairly quickly.
* If all else fails, give me their cell number and give them mine, and I'll do the recruiting for you!
We have the Chair Academy coming in May but we can't wait until then to get some new officials and get them trained. I have some great training opportunities beginning in January so let's get to work finding our new friends...
