The Greystone YMCA USTA Men’s 3.0 Team formed in the late summer of 2012 with the singular goal of winning a national championship.
The team went undefeated that year and won the Birmingham league and subsequently the state championship. In the Southern Sectional Championship, the team again went undefeated, narrowly, after defeating a strong Georgia team 3-2 in the finals.
This win qualified the team to represent the southern section of the USTA in the National Championships in Tucson this year, where less than 5,000 of 900,000 USTA members nation-wide will compete this fall.
“We have worked incredibly hard under the watchful eye and guidance of Greg Howe, a teaching pro at the Pelham Racquet Club,” team member Chad Miller said. “We are so privileged to be representing our state and region this year and hope we can bring home a national championship.”
