USTA Partners With High School Association |

The USTA announced that it is partnering with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) – the national leadership organization for high school athletic and performing arts programs – to support and promote the “no-cut” policy which ensures that every student who wishes to play is welcomed as a member of the team.

The USTA and NFHS have aligned efforts to recruit and recognize coaches who commit to these inclusive efforts, which can have a positive impact on the students who participate.

The goal of this partnership is to attract new supporters of the no-cut policy through the involvement of the 51 NFHS member state associations, which include more than 19,000 high schools and almost 7.7 million participants in high school sports. With the resources and network of the NFHS, the USTA hopes to achieve a greater penetration of no-cut programs nationwide by extending its reach to high school coaches and administrators.

Since its inception in 2006, the USTA has registered over 3,600 coaches who implement the no-cut initiative, which has positively affected more than 130,000 high school students.
