Ball Crew
Thank you for your interest in the 2023 Credit One Charleston Open!
Tournament Dates are April 1-9, 2023
March 30 - April 7, 2024
Charleston, SC
As a Ball Crew member, you are afforded the opportunity to be on-court with the superstars of tennis! We recruit more than 80 adults and juniors for the Ball Crew, offering access to matches and players. You must be at least 11 years old if you play tennis or 12 years old if you do not have ample tennis experience.
The Ball Crew Volunteers are a very important part of the Credit One Charleston Open. Players and officials rely on the Ball Crew to keep the flow of the match going. Whether you’re a “rookie” or a “veteran,” all Ball Crew Volunteers must go through rigorous training and practice to be the very best when matches begin!
Please contact Department Chairs Danny Hayes and Tucker Furtick at BallCrewcoco@gmail.com
