Abstract

The USTA National Campus was recently awarded ITF Gold Level recognition, making it one of three facilities worldwide to have that distinction. One of the major factors for its success is the creation of a shared philosophical vision that underpins all efforts toward being best in class. This article will discuss and highlight practical implications that have served to help the National Campus continue promoting and developing the game of tennis.
