Our goal is continue Irving and Bernice’s legacy to facilitate the promotion of senior tennis guided by these strategies:

 

  1. To support the online publication of material to help seniors connect with New England senior tournaments and National tournaments, providing dates and links to the registration pages for the tournaments.
  2. To distribute breaking senior tennis news and on a regular basis report the results of tournaments, other competitions, and news of interest to seniors.
  3. To help support tournaments and other competitions for seniors innovatively and in such a way as to help participants fully enjoy the sport. (Senior Slams!)
  4. To develop and support interstate, intersectional and international competitions for seniors.
  5. To respond to changing needs and interests of senior tennis players.
  6. To provide grants that support instruction for seniors interested in learning how to play the sport or improve their skills.
  7. To recognize and respond to opportunities to provide leadership within a larger context for the development of tennis (i.e., to support or oppose actions by tennis groups that either further or diminish the growth and support of the sport)
  8. To create and support a governance structure that ensures continuity to the Foundation and support for its goals and strategies.
