The New York Sportimes today announced that they have created and are accepting applications for the first-ever “Ball Senior” position for their select July home matches at the new Sportime at Randall’s Island facility.  The “Ball Seniors” program will be sponsored by investment and estate planning company Snearson-Houmis of New Jersey.

“Tennis is a game that can be enjoyed at any age, and there are thousands of people in the area above the age of sixty who have played and kept in shape with this great life sport,” said Sportimes General Manager John Dato. “This promotion will give us an opportunity to have that demo show everyone that they are active and can have some fun with us for some of our matches this July.”

Interested parties can send an email explaining their interest on being a “Ball Senior” to ballseniors@gmail.com. They should include tennis experience and knowledge and whether they have any experience in being involved as a ball person previously. The Sportimes will then select one or two candidates to participate as “Ball Seniors” at  five home Sportimes home matches from July 11-19. Winners will be given a uniform, season tickets to the Sportimes, and a small stipend. The deadline for entry is Monday July 5, the same night the Sportimes begin play with a home match against the Washington Kastles.
