Veltri Racquet Center recognized as winner of USTA's Outstanding Facility Awards program

Veltri Racquet Center is one of 41 winners in the USTA’s annual Outstanding Facility Awards program, which recognizes excellence in the construction and/or renovation of tennis facilities throughout the country. 

Veltri Racquet Center's Supervisor of Racquet Sports, Dan Debruyne, received the Outstanding Tennis Facility Award at the US Open which recently took place in New York at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Facilities were judged on the following criteria: overall layout and adaptation to site; excellence of court surface and lights; ease of maintenance; accommodations for players, spectators and press/officials; aesthetics; graphics (including the use of signs and landscaping); amenities such as casual seating for spectators, food services and social areas; and the facilities’ participation in grassroots tennis programs.

Nominated facilities were voted on in the following categories: Public Courts that are either small tennis centers with 2-11 courts or large tennis centers with 12 or more courts; Private Facilities that offer both USTA and public programming designed to help grow tennis (small: 2-11 courts; large: 12 or more courts); and Educational Institutions such as colleges, universities, public and private grade schools, middle schools, or high schools.

Veltri Racquet Center won under the public courts - large tennis center category. It's a prestigious honor for the facility which is home to the Orange Bowl, National Clay Courts (Girls 14s event), and many other well-known tennis events.
