See the Pros Up Close
If you want to experience the power, emotion,
and athleticism of professional tennis, there's no better
way than to be on the court with the players. Tournament organizers
are recruiting children and adults age 8 to 88 to serve as
ballpeople at the 2007 JSM Challenger. Ballpeople help players
keep focused on their match by gathering stray balls between
points, handing them a towel, or grabbing an ice cold bottle
of water on a changeover. Without ballpeople, matches would
take much longer and players wouldn't be able to compete at
the top of their game. If you're interested in serving as
a ballperson, contact Jeremy Beach at (217) 244-9313 or jbeach@ad.uiuc.edu.

Volunteer Information
If you love tennis and you're interested in
working at one of the players' favorite tournaments on the
USTA Pro Circuit, contact Annatjie Els at (217) 244-8562.
Tournament organizers are seeking volunteers willing to work
at the ticket sales desk, as court monitors, and as ushers
throughout the tournament. Without the help of our volunteers,
the JSM Challenger of Champaign-Urbana would not possess an
added level of professionalism that adds to the players' and
fans' experience while at the tournament. Volunteers receive
an invitation to the Player Welcome Party, receive a tournament
T-shirt, and may watch matches on the day they work for free.
