OCEAN CITY TENNIS CENTER
2012 SEASON END REPORTSUBMITTED BY: KATE GADDIS
The Ocean City Tennis Center, located on 61st Street and the Bay, operated from May
15th
, 2012 through September 30, 2012. The tennis facility consists of one office/tennisshop, a deck with tables and chairs for spectating and socializing, an inside area for
meeting, socializing and sit down instruction, storage facilities, 3 clay courts, court lights
and 6 Premier surface courts and a hitting wall. The Tennis Center ia an official USTAWelcome Center.
During the months of May through mid June and after Labor Day the facility was openwith modified hours. From mid June to Labor Day it was open 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
daily. During poor weather conditions the facility was closed.
The tennis center was overseen by Keith Coleman as the Director of Tennis. Keith wasin his third season as the Director of Tennis also assuming the responsibility of Head Pro.
Keith worked early in the season to get the OCTC set up both from a maintenance facility
standpoint and a program standpoint. Keith worked to hire the seasonal staff, includingthe tennis manager, Matt Mansfield, womens & mens activities coordinators, five tennis
attendants and three college interns from Ferris State majoring in Tennis Management.
Keith oversaw instruction and intern supervision as part of his duties.
This year we saw a considerable increase in our overall operations. Specifically up thisyear were court reservation fees, private lessons and adult program participation. We
saw a decrease in youth program participation. Programs offered at the tennis center
included: OC Tennis Academies, Pee Wee Tennis Camps, Quickstart Tennis, WomensMorning Flights, Womens Summer Flings, Mens Morning Flights, Cardio Tennis,
Holiday Mixers, Adult Camps, Junior Clinics, Mens and Womens Singles Open, theDelmarva Junior Open L4 Tournament and the Ocean City Junior Open L5.
