USSPA Tennis Club gears Up for a New Era: New Leadership, Renovations, and a Focus on Growth
Albi, france – The United States Sports Association of Albi (USSPA) is buzzing with anticipation as it ushers in a new chapter under the leadership of co-presidents Caroline Mittag and Chrystèle Studnicki. With a rich history and a vibrant community, the club is poised for further growth, building on the strong foundation laid by former president Jean-Paul Mariou.
For two decades, Caroline Mittag has been an integral part of the USSPA.

Jean-Paul Mariou, who led the club during that accomplished period, remembers Mittag as a pivotal figure, noting her role in attracting professional talent. It’s tennis that drives me,
Mittag shared, underscoring her lifelong passion for the sport.
Chrystèle Studnicki, who joined the USSPA in 2017, brings her own remarkable background in club leadership.Previously the president of Cambon, she was persuaded by Mariou to join the USSPA to bolster the women’s team. With a past ranking of 15-1, Studnicki understands the competitive landscape and is eager to contribute to the club’s future success.

Their vision extends beyond maintaining the status quo; they are keen to elevate the tennis program to new heights. A notable project on the horizon is the renovation of the indoor tennis courts, a move that promises to enhance training facilities and player experiance.
Meanwhile, Jean-Paul Mariou will continue to champion the pickleball initiative he successfully launched last year. The sport has seen remarkable growth and popularity, mirroring its surge in the United States, where it’s rapidly becoming a go-to recreational and competitive activity for all ages.
