University women's tennis coach Dee Henry has been named the national winner of the USTA/ITA Campus Recreation Award and California Lutheran University men's tennis coach Michael Gennette is the national winner of the USTA/ITA Community Service Award. They will be honored on December 12th at the ITA Coaches Convention at the Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami, during the ITA Membership and Awards Banquet. The USTA/ITA Campus Recreation Award honors an ITA coach who has done an outstanding job implementing recreational tennis programs on campus in an effort to grow tennis participation.
The USTA/ITA Community Service Award honors an ITA coach for significant contributions in developing community-based tennis programs through community centers, schools, parks, community tennis associations, inner city, suburban or rural programs. The ITA and USTA strongly believe that community service and campus recreation programs are extremely important for today's college coach to become involved in and these awards help highlight the efforts of those coaches who have, says ITA Executive Director David A. Benjamin. Dee and Michael are great examples of coaches who give back to their communities and campuses and our hope is that many other varsity coaches will emulate the great work they are doing. This year's national winners were selected from a group of USTA Sectional winners determined this fall (and listed below). This awards program, which began in 2003, was open to over 2,000 ITA head and assistant coaches at the NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA and Junior/Community College levels.
Henry and Gennette are also the award recipients for the USTA/Southern California Section. Henry has coached at Biola, an NAIA school located in La Mirada, for the past 35 years. Gennette has coached at Cal Lutheran, an NCAA Division III school located in Thousand Oaks, for the past 13 years.
