Sea Colony is proud to announce that tennis professional Alejandro “Alex” Justiniani has been named 2021 Pro of the Year by USTA Delaware District and 2021 Pro of the Year by USTA Middle States.
These top honors are awarded each year to active tennis instructors who demonstrate significant contributions to tennis through promotion of USTA programs, service to the community, support of the USTA mission, and dedication to teaching juniors and adults in their communities with passion and excitement.
“It's a great honor to receive these awards,” said Justiniani. “I am very lucky to be honored for my contribution to the game we all love. I truly appreciate and respect every relationship and friendship being a tennis professional provides.”
Justiniani has been instructing tennis at Sea Colony for more than 10 years and has nearly 20 years of teaching experience.
