2027-2028 Southern Committee Application

USTA Southern is committed to ensuring a diverse and talented pool of volunteers and encourages you to apply to serve on a section committee. The deadline for all committee applications is September 20, 2026.

Note: each of the nine State Associations in USTA Southern has a committee and volunteer structure in place. If you have not volunteered with your CTA or state, that does not preclude you from applying for a USTA Southern committeee. However, volunteer experience at the community and state level is a consideration in the selection process.

Questions marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.
Please select your USTA State Association.
