NWTO Ambassador Program

The Ambassador Program is an initiative designed to bring NWTO members together locally while introducing new players to our community. The NWTO Ambassador Program will center around local events hosted in cities across the U.S., welcoming both members and non-members to connect through tennis and camaraderie.

What is the Ambassador Program?

The program has two primary goals:

  • Strengthen local NWTO connections within cities and regions across the country.

  • Introduce new players to NWTO through informal local gatherings such as an NWTO Doubles Day.

What do Ambassadors do?

Ambassadors organize a fun “Doubles Day” or similar social tennis event and invite local NWTO members to participate. Members are encouraged to bring a guest who is not yet part of NWTO.

Non-members who attend will receive a complimentary one-year NWTO membership.

Who Are The Ambassadors?

Ambassadors are enthusiastic, welcoming NWTO members who live in areas with an active tennis community, a strong base of NWTO members, and nearby USTA National Level 1–3 tournaments.
