Second Serve Tennis
Second Serve Podcast is the only tennis podcast created exclusively for adult recreational players by everyday tennis players. We are passionate about the game and our episodes are geared towards adults playing a sport in the later years of life (hence, the name “Second Serve”). The goal of the podcast is to promote and grow the game of tennis for adult players. This podcast discusses everything related to adult recreational tennis. Topics include the following: advice for beginners; what adult recreational players wear; funny and crazy situations that happen on the court; the rules of adult tennis; and how it feels being an adult and getting your feelings hurt when you are not played in an important match. We know how it feels!

Chatting With The USTA National Promotions Manager and The NC Director Of Adult Leagues
This is part two of our conversation with Marilyn Sherman, the National Promotions Manager for USTA, and Dani Broadstreet, the NC Director of Adult Leagues.
We learn what it was like for Dani to start her job as the NC Director of Adult Leagues during a pandemic and discuss with Marilyn what it is like to have an award be named after her - the Marilyn Sherman Spirit Award. Everyone watch out for Marilyn in the 65 plus age group this year!
You no longer need a team number to register as an individual, and captains can find new players for their teams. You can check out the different types of teams at the Captain's Corner on the USTA website: https://www.usta.com/en/home/play/adult-tennis/programs/national/captain-s-corner.html.
Marilyn Sherman is the National Promotions Manager for USTA. She was the Director of Adult Tennis for the USTA Southern Section for 15 years and has worked for the national staff for 12 years. If you hear of someone winning the Marilyn Sherman Spirit Award, this is her! The Marilyn Sherman Spirit Award is given each year to an individual who demonstrates great passion and enthusiasm for growing the game.
Dani Broadstreet is the NC Director of Adult Leagues. She was previously with the Greensboro Tennis Foundation as the NJTL Director. She's happily been playing league tennis for 13 years!
Both Marilyn and Dani are 4.0 tennis players as well!
