Noriko Hoffman I’ve been playing tennis with USTA for the past ten years and have advanced my rating from 3.0 to 4.0. During that time, we’ve been to USTA Districts and Sectionals. I love playing and enjoy meeting new people through tennis, which also keeps me active, both physically and mentally. I’ve worked as a volunteer working with Coach Doris Briggs & Coach Joseph Caruth staging a Saturday Adult Clinic at the Fairfax Racquet Club. In addition I have worked as an assistant Tournament Director for the Doris Briggs Charity Invitational Tennis Tournament, Oak Marr Flames Community Da, and the Flames Tournament Tough Tennis camps for 2 years.. I am very passionate about helping the youth to pick up the game and establish the right mindset.
