We are excited to announce the addition of Cassie Mercer to the OSSA staff in 2020. Cassie will join OSSA as the academy's office manager who will help oversee the academy's day-to-day operations and join our National Team on court as the newest member of the OSSA National Coaching Staff.
Cassie graduated from University of Virginia in 2018 with a degree in Foreign Affairs where she played #1 singles and #1 doubles for the Cavaliers and helped UVA reach #2 in the Division I ITA team rankings.
"Bringing on a player like Cassie is a major bonus for us as an academy. I've known her since she was in 14s and watching her compete against our players and in the biggest national junior tournaments for all of those years really gave me an appreciation of her professionalism and on-court acumen. She's an even nicer person and the positive influence she will have on our players-- especially the female players-- will be vital in their development on and off the court. She's also super intelligent and I'm confident her ideas and attention to detail will help boost OSSA in ways that go beyond just the tennis court."
