Chair Umpires
The Chair Umpire is responsible for calling the score, enforcing the rules and managing the players. Tennis experience is required for this role.
Ball Retrievers
At net: Stay by the net and pick up any balls that hit the net during play. Then, roll the pall to the volunteer behind the court on the side that the athlete is serving. Behind Court: grab any balls in-between plays and return the ball to the correct player.
Line Judge
Watch and see if the ball hits inside or on the line (good) or outside the line (out). Point down towards the court if the ball is good and raise one arm if the ball is out.

advantage), forehand & backhand volley, as well as forehand & backhand groundstroke.
Score runner/Awards & Lunch
As games and skills play wrap up, take the final scores from each court back to the awards table. Then, once all final scores have been processed by the competition team, help to present awards to each athlete. Make sure the correct teams are present, the sound system is set, play Olympic music during presentation and announce awards to spectators as needed. Finally, 2 people may be pulled to assist with passing out lunch during this time as well.
