Become a USTA Tennis Official

We Need Officials!

  • Do you enjoy tennis?
  • Do you have sharp vision and the ability to concentrate?
  • Are you interested in giving back to the sport?
  • Have you considered becoming a tennis official?

We need trained, certified umpires and referees for tournaments across America.  Let us know if you are interested by contacting the officials' association president in your region of the state (contact information listed below).  The association will send you more information and answer any questions you may have.  USTA offers the training to get you started in a rewarding and exciting part of the game - tennis officiating.  Accept the challenge, you'll be glad you did.
