Austin Tennis Academy CEO, Jack Newman, wants to make this year’s Shootout the biggest and the best ATA has ever done, and hopes you can help him achieve his goal!

LET’S GO ATA!

At the end of September, more than a dozen Austin Tennis Academy players will head to Florida to compete in the 2022 Junior Team Tennis National Championships. Both ATA’s 18U Advanced team and 14U Advanced team will compete for the title against other teams which advanced from their sections. ATA has done very well in year’s past, bringing home the national title on multiple occasions.

The two teams secured their spot to compete at Nationals back in June when each clinched their JTT Sectional Championship. The 18U Advanced team is comprised of the following players: Emma Allen, Brendan Boland, Jack Ingram, Nico Jamison, Kori Montoya, Stacy Shulzhenko, Tristin Stine, and Elliot Wasserman. The 14U Advanced team consists of these players: Abigail Cizmarik, Lila Fuller, Gavin Golod, Aya Manning, William McEwan, Maddie Wasserman, and Alexander Wriedt.

The Advanced division championships take place September 29-October 2; This will be the first time the JTT National Championships have been held since the pandemic started in 2020.

BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS COMPLETED

If it’s been a while since you’ve been to Austin Tennis Academy, you need to go check out all the upgrades completed over the summer.

The first of the beautification projects to be undertaken was bringing in gorgeous river rock to be laid in certain areas around the facility, as well as permanent turf installed in once grassy areas. While these additions make a huge difference in how the grounds look, they also help in ATA’s efforts to conserve water and protect the environment.

Next up, resurfacing all 12 of the hard courts. This process saw crews working on a group of 3-4 courts at a time, grinding down the old court surface in order to first build new surfaces, then add the color surfaces.

It took more than a month for all the courts to be completed; then new nets were put up as well as new trash cans hung on each court.

Next, three portable buildings were set up in the tree-lined area behind ATA’s pro shop, gym and locker rooms. The portable buildings have been converted into classrooms to service ATA College Prep’s growing student body. Wooden steps and a wooden deck were built for the new classrooms.

There is also a large tent on the grounds to serve as a meeting place for Leadership and other school-related gatherings. Plus, two tents were set up, one next to court 12 the other next to court 7, to provide shade for viewing during tournaments.

With all the projects completed, Coach Jack Newman – CEO of Austin Tennis Academy – says
ATA is looking the best it ever has!

ATA ALUMNI SHINE ON NATIONAL STAGE

Two of Austin Tennis Academy’s alumni are basking in the afterglow from playing on one of the biggest stages in collegiate tennis. Bailey Forgus and Annika Pandey attend the University of Chicago, and this year, both the university’s mens and women’s tennis teams made it to the finals on the road to the 2022 NCAA Division III national title. The mens team made history – earning the school’s first NCAA Division III national championship – while for the second time in 10 years, the women’s team finished as NCAA runners-up.

Annika Pandey, a senior and ATA alumna, was one of the captains on the women’s team. “Playing for a national championship as a senior was nearly an indescribable feeling because it meant that all our hard work over the past 4 years was finally paying off in a tangible way,” said Pandey. “Competing towards such a goal with my teammates and best friends was an immense privilege.”

Head Coach Jay Tee credits what he calls ‘unbelievable leadership from Pandey and the other seniors’ for keeping the team focused, determined, and together. Just like any proud mentor or leader, it’s not surprising to hear what Pandey calls her biggest highlight. “My favorite memory from the tournament was watching our freshmen lead the way and battle to clinch our quarterfinal and semifinal matches,” said Pandey. “They have come so far since the beginning of the season; and it’s been an honor to witness their growth. I can’t wait to see what they accomplish in the coming years, and I know a national championship is on the way for them.”

Meanwhile rising senior and ATA alumnus Baily Forgus is getting to experience what it feels like to win a national championship. Forgus was one of the captains on mens team that made not only team history, but also school history. “What made playing for a national championship so special was seeing our team come so far from the beginning of the year,” said Forgus. “After having two seasons cut short because of Covid, we didn’t have a clear identity at the start of the season. With every up and down of the year it became a little more defined. I don’t think we came fully together as a team until the NCAA tournament, where everyone knew their role and did everything they could to help the team win. It was amazing to see us come out on top after having to make huge improvements during the year.”

Coach Jack Newman, just like Coach Tee, is reveling in the growth and leadership of his players. He’s watched Forgus and Pandey spread their wings over the past few years at the University of Chicago after leaving Austin Tennis Academy. “Both Annika and Bailey played key roles in building the team culture at the University of Chicago,” said Coach Newman. “They did the extra, different things that set them apart from their peers.” Anyone who’s spent any time at all around Coach Newman’s junior tennis academy knows those are lessons he wants and hopes every player takes with them when it’s time to move on from ATA.

Congratulations Annika and Bailey, as well as Coach Tee and each of the players on the 2022 men and women’s teams at the University of Chicago.

INTRODUCING ATA’S NEW COACHING STAFF MEMBERS

You’ll be seeing a number of new faces, and one or two familiar faces, on the courts at Austin Tennis Academy this summer. CEO Jack Newman has hired four coaches to work in summer camps, provide individual/group lessons, and be on board for junior programs in the fall.

Estevam Strecker returns to ATA both as a tennis coach and as an instructor at ATA College Prep. Strecker was the head coach for the mens tennis team at Saint Edwards here in Austin until the college dropped its tennis programs. In case you didn’t meet him at the End of Year Party a couple weeks ago, Strecker officially starts in July.

Another familiar face for many of ATA’s JD kids and their parents is ATA alumna Keana Moon.

Moon has returned from college this summer to once again coach in JD camps, and provide private lessons to youngsters playing red ball. Coach Newman is excited to have Keana join the coaching ranks for the summer as she brings lots of experience from her many years as both a player and a student coach at ATA.

Please welcome another female coach to ATA’s team, Qili Ma.

Qili Ma comes to ATA from the University of Central Arkansas where she has been the assistant coach for the past three years while earning her Masters Degree in sports and exercise science; she has a Bachelor degree in psychology. Ma also played Division I college tennis at University of Central Arkansas for four years, earning the highest winning percentage in school history in both singles and doubles, and helped lead the school to its first ASUN conference championship her senior year.

Originally from China, Ma and her family moved to the United States when she was 13 years old. Ma played ITF throughout her junior tennis career, achieving an ITF Junior ranking of 275.

And give a ‘back home’ welcome to Dane Esses, who’s joining the ATA team via the west coast.

Esses recently earned his Masters degree in Entrepreneurship from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where he played Division I tennis as the ‘Line 1’ singles, and was nominated for male athlete of the year. For his undergraduate studies, Esses earned a Bachelors degree in sociology from Tulane University in New Orleans where he also played Division I tennis, and earned a national ranking of 47 his senior year.

Esses is no stranger to Texas or junior tennis in the Lone Star State. He’s a native Texan who grew up playing tennis in Houston (King Daddy Sports). Esses ranked Top 3 in Boys 16s and 18s during his junior career and was a 5-Star Recruit when he graduated high school in 2016.

END OF YEAR PARTY

ATA’S annual ‘End of Year Party’ takes place this year on Thursday, May 26. After more than 9 months of hard work, this is the night when it will be revealed which Academy players will receive what awards. While the majority of the awards are determined by statistics and coaches, it will be revealed which players have been chosen by their peers as this year’s MVP’s.

The End of Year Party will be held at Austin Tennis Academy. The evening will kick off with cocktails at 5:00 PM followed by dinner at 6; the awards ceremony will start at 7:00.

DREAM COMES TRUE FOR ATA COACH

Austin Tennis Academy Coach Shaimaa Elsisi came to the United States more than 19 years ago to play college tennis armed with the hope of one day becoming a permanent resident in this country. Now, thanks to help from Coach Newman and ATA, one of her biggest dreams has finally come true.

“A lot of people in the United States don’t recognize just how lucky they are to live in this country,” said Coach Shaimaa. “Living here is amazing and now I don’t ever have to leave.” Just before the arrival of the new year, Coach Shaimaa received her official Green Card, the immigration document which allows her to live in the U.S. permanently and opens the pathway to citizenship.

“Receiving my green card was one of the happiest days of my life. It means everything,” said Coach Shaimaa. While her home country is Egypt, after originally coming to the U.S. on a student Visa, she’s not been able go back to visit family or leave this country for any reason for the past 13 years; receiving a green card changes that. Coach Shaimaa can now legally travel to dozens of other countries, including Egypt, without fear of not being allowed back into the U.S.

The immigration process is not easy and can take a lot of time. In fact, Coach Shaimaa’s hopes for getting a green card had been dashed several times over the years, but she never gave up and kept believing the right opportunity would present itself one day. “He didn’t hesitate when I asked him to sponsor me in my efforts to obtain a green card,” said Coach Shaimaa. “Coach Newman is always helping. He’s always trying to make sure everyone who works for him is okay.”

“Supporting Coach Shaimaa was an easy yes when she asked.” said Jack Newman, Owner and CEO of Austin Tennis Academy. “She’s a great part of our community. She’s put in the hard work; she’s sacrificed. She demonstrates the right character traits I want our students to see. She has a great attitude and provides wonderful service to her clients and members of the ATA community. It’s only right to pour into her.”

Saying yes meant Newman/ATA provided financial support with providing an immigration attorney and with the U.S. government. “That’s just time and money. I didn’t consider her request a big deal,” said Newman. Coach Shaimaa isn’t the first coach who worked for ATA that Newman sponsored in their quest for a green card. ATA and Newman provided the same kind of support for Estevam Strecker.

Within the tennis industry, ATA is not only seen as one of the best junior academies in the country, but also as a rare and special place. Coach Newman says he’s often asked about how he does things differently at ATA, and his answer reveals one of his strongest beliefs. “It’s critical to take care of the people who make your business successful,” said Newman. “It’s easier to retain good talent than it is to attract new. How we pay, train, and treat our employees is all part of an effort to keep them for as long as we can.”

Coach Newman comes from a family of immigrants; he was the first to be born in the United States. He believes it’s important to recognize and support immigrants, including those within his own staff. “Becoming a permanent resident, and ultimately a U.S. citizen is important to Coach Shaimaa and her family for a lot of different reasons.” said Newman. “The resulting return is going to be off the charts. It’s a win win.” The way Coach Shaimaa sees it, Coach Newman and ATA made a dream come true.

Here’s The 4-1-1 On Shootout 2021

Shootout 2021, ATA’s annual fundraising event for Austin Athletics Scholarship Foundation, kicks off Friday night and will run through Saturday afternoon. We’re thrilled that we are able to hold the entire event in person this year on the grounds at Austin Tennis Academy. Here’s the rundown for Friday and Saturday.

Friday Night’s Player Party
6:00 PM: Cocktails, Hors D’oeuvres and Auction
7:00 PM: Dinner
7:45 PM: Shootout Show

The Players Party is being held in a giant party tent being erected Wednesday in the open ground space adjacent to Court 12. Attendees will park in ATA’s parking lot, follow the sidewalk that goes in front of the pro shop to get to Court 12 and then follow the lights/lit path to the tent. Once inside, you’ll find the bar serving various drinks, including our signature drink for the evening, The Honey Deuce (we snagged this one from the US Open where it’s been the most popular cocktail for the past 15 years), hors d’oeuvres, and tables loaded with auction items for you to check out and bid on.

Dinner will be served at 7 PM and then Coach Jack Newman will kick off the program at 7:45. He’s going to do his best to not only make sure everyone has a great time, but also wrap up everything before too late since many of you will be playing tennis the next morning.

Saturday Tennis
Saturday morning kicks off with breakfast served and warmup on court at 8:00 AM. Matches will begin at 9:00 with eight different teams competing for the coveted Shootout title. Bidding can still be done on the auction items out in the party tent. In fact, that’s where you’ll find Deb Cahill selling those ‘oh so valuable Point Chips’ that players want to make sure they possess on court during their matches; spectators will want to have some ‘Point Chips’ of their own to help spur on their team to victory. Lunch will be ready starting at 11:30. Coach Newman expects the matches to wrap by at least 2 PM when the winning team will be announced.

Junior Team Tennis Is Back!

Junior Team Tennis Fall season is quickly approaching! JTT is an awesome opportunity for players to compete within a team environment, set goals, be exposed to challenging competition, receive on-court coaching and play for something greater than individual merit. Teams are based on age and development level. It is a perfect first competitive experience for JD and QuickStart players (there is even an 8&U Red Ball division) who have never played tournaments and it is a valuable vehicle for more experienced players to work on various areas of their game. League winners in several levels will represent Austin at the state tournament this November.

Tentative start of the season is September 26, and the deadline to register your child to play is Monday, September 13. Matches are played Sunday afternoons and consist of 8 game pro sets (2 sets to 4 in 10U divisions). A typical day begins with a warm-up 30 minutes prior to start time; matches last approximately two and a half hours. Players should plan to stay through the end of the match and support their teammates. Half of the matches are played at ATA and the other half at the opponent’s sites in Austin. For our regular tournament participants, we will be playing a one-weekend event instead of a weekly Sunday afternoon league. Dates for the event are not yet determined.

Commitment: Teams consist of 4-8 players who must commit to playing a majority of the matches. If an occasional conflict arises, it is imperative to communicate with the coach to prevent a default. For each match, teams are assigned a coach/academy player. There have been times when coaches are traveling and academy players are in tournaments and we may ask the help of a parent.

Cost: $150 for the season. Players must be a current member of the USTA or be willing to register. Become a member online at www.usta.com and click on membership. Junior memberships are free and include access to all USTA tournaments, leagues and a subscription to various tennis publications. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the number of matches per season, because it depends upon how many teams register and how well the team does.

ATA parents please check your inbox for an email from Coach Brian Notice with information about how to register your child to play on one of ATA’s teams. If you have any questions, please reply to our JTT Coordinators, Coach AJ Garcia and Coach Brian Notis @ aj.garcia@austintennisacademy.com and brian.notis@austintennisacademy.com if you have any questions. Coach AJ will be organizing the JD and JA level teams and Coach Notis will be organizing the Academy level teams. Deadline to register is Monday, September 13. Schedules will go out after JTT captains meeting on September 15^th.

The past several seasons have seen multiple ATA teams represented in the state championship as well as the national championships. ATA has won 4 national JTT championships over the past few years and also dozens of state titles!

Deadline Almost Here for Little Mo South Regionals

Friday (August 13) at 11:30 PM is the deadline to get your child registered to play in the Little Mo South Regionals tournament coming up on August 21-23. The South Regionals is open to any USA player (ages 8-12) and will be held at the Arlington Tennis Center. There are already more than 200 players registered to compete.

11:30 PM FRIDAY AUGUST 13 DEADLINE: CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Any “Little Mo” player who wins their yellow ball division will receive a special travel grant during the tournament. Travel grants will also be awarded to the 2nd place, 3rd place, and 4th place players in each of the yellow ball divisions.

The top four yellow ball players (semifinalists) in each age division from each of the four Regionals will advance to the Nationals, forming a 16 draw size in each age division. If you advance to the semifinal round (top 4) in your age division at the Regionals and you (and your parent/coach) have followed the Code of Conduct, you will receive your Nationals invitation (with a special code needed for registration) by email from the MCB office following the event. While the green dot players will not be able to advance to the Nationals, we might consider them as replacement players if there is an opening in the yellow ball divisions.

Once again this year, Little Mo Nationals will be held at Austin Tennis Academy September 24-27.

Dates Released For 2021 Shootout

The 21st Annual Shootout will be held the fourth weekend in October. All the fun kicks off Friday evening, October 22 with the Player Party. Then things heat up on court when the actual Shootout swings into action bright and early Saturday, October 23.

Each year, Austin Tennis Academy holds the Shootout to raise money for the Austin Athletics Scholarship Foundation, a 501(c)3 created to give back to the community. The AASF is dedicated to serving students in the form of grants for travel, training, and academics; its goal is to identify players who have a philanthropic spirit and commit themselves to giving back to the community.

We hope you’ll not only save the date, but also take part in this year’s fundraiser and shootout!
