Collegiate Varsity Committee: August 13th, 2013
NorCal Collegiate Varsity Committee - 2013 Aug 13, 2013 Committee Meeting MINUTES NOTE: All minutes are final after approval by the committee and all committee decisions are subject to final approval by the Board.
CVC Mission/Objectives The broad mission of the Collegiate Varsity Committee (CVC) is to help the NorCal tennis community become aware that Collegiate Varsity Tennis is not only an integral part of the player development pathway (10 & Under to Junior to College to Professional) but also is central to growing future champions off the court. The average age of successful professional players continues to increase, thus college tennis is a pivotal part of the competitive pathway. We want to increase awareness and grow community support for the great college tennis programs we have in our section. We also want to see more of our NorCal juniors going on to play college tennis. The Committee will help to put the Collegiate Varsity footprint on tennis in Northern California. OBJECTIVES: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

1. Email Vote for Committee Decision on ITA Summer Circuit Budget Request USTA NorCal CVC – August 13th, 2013 Budget Request for ITA Summer Circuit Tournaments Event Profile: Nearly 30,000 men and women have competed in ITA Summer Circuit events since it began in 1993. The circuit provides college players, as well as juniors, adults and alumni players the opportunity to compete in organized events. For NCAA compliance purposes, the events within the ITA Summer Circuit are categorized as "open"; therefore anyone is eligible to compete in these events as long as he/she is a current ITA member. The ITA Summer Circuit is currently made up of eight regional circuits (East, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, Central, Mountain, Texas and West) consisting of four consecutive open tournaments played during the month of July, leading up to the USTA/ITA National Summer Championships in Bloomington, Indiana in August. NorCal has been included after approval from the ITA – to increase the number of circuits to nine. By adding our NorCal Circuit we have created an opportunity for 2 of our players (one man and one woman) to earn their way into the national event in Indiana. The entry fee for all Summer Circuit tournaments is $60 (includes singles and doubles), with the exception of the National Clay Court Championships (Mt. Lebanon/Pittsburgh) and the USTA/ITA National Summer Championships which are both $70 (includes singles and doubles). All tournaments will use a 10-point match tie-breaker for the third set of singles; all doubles will be 8 game pro-sets. An American player who competes in at least 3 tournaments and is the point leader for that Region will automatically qualify and receive some travel reimbursement for the USTA/ITA National Summer Championships (point chart is below). Additional information specific to each tournament can be found on the registration page. These events are a great stepping stone for our juniors as well as competitive opportunities for our competitive adults. This circuit will be of great value to the section and the reason we are requesting financial support to get the ITA Circuit off the ground successfully.

Collegiate Varsity Committee: August 13th, 2013 Rational for Budget Request
Creates opportunities for more local ‘semi-pro competition’ for our Collegiate, Junior as well as Adult Open players. Draws are “open” to any and all players.
Creates more awareness for junior players about College Tennis opportunities – thus supporting the American Pathway. Juniors will be playing on college campuses, will be able to compete with and against college players, and will have the opportunity to play in front of college coaches who are serving as our Circuit Tournament Directors.
Supporting our NorCal College Coaches (in the early years) who are stepping up as host sites as we launch the NorCal ITA Circuit. We anticipate breakeven or small financial loss as we market and promote our new circuit. Request of for USTA NorCal to help cover the costs of officials and athletic trainers, which are required at events as per ITA rules.
Advancement opportunity for our players – into the National Event in Indiana, and possibly on to the All American collegiate events in the fall season. 2013 Circuit winners from NorCal are Mackenize McDonald and Katya Vasilyev
Opportunity to continue to institute the Junior Council principles and pilot ‘level based play’ in NorCal. The ITA has agreed to allow any Tournament Director to have their event be level based – and organized according to the Universal Tennis Ratings.
This request will be for 2013 only. The CVC will meet again post circuit and evaluate financial needs for the following year. The Committee’s intention is for the ITA Circuit to be self-sustaining within a 3 year period.
Possible opportunities for our rookie officials to shadow and gain experience.
Committee Decision Members participated by an email vote on August 13th, 2013. Vote was unanimous in support of the budget request proposal – 11 to 0.
