WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., March 27, 2017 – The United States Tennis Association (USTA) today announce that it presented the Charles Norman family of Aurora, Ohio, with the Ralph W. Westcott USTA Family of the Year Award. The award was presented during the USTA Annual Meeting and Conference, which was held March 24-27, at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes Resort in Orlando, Fla. Created by the USTA in 1965, the award is presented annually to a family of USTA members who play, participate and volunteer time to promote amateur tennis, emphasizing the theme that tennis is a family game.
