Once again Tennis Central parents, players, and coaches gathered on the red carpet of the glistening Cheesecake Factory for an evening honoring achievement and the greatest players of the Winter Travel Team Season, on March 20.
The WTT Awards 2024 again were classified into two main groups. A number of honors went toward championships and objective statistical awards.
Introduced this year was the Undefeated Players Award, for those who won all their regular season matches for their team.
The second group were voted on by the Tennis Central league coaches. Razi Dinan won the coveted Most Valuable Player Award, while Most Improved went to Emily Green.
