Think fast — literally! Ball Crew volunteers are the unsung heroes of every match, keeping the balls moving and the game flowing. You’ll be on court retrieving and distributing balls, and when players need a little shade during changeovers, you’ll be ready with an umbrella like a true pro. You’ll be rotated on and off court every 30 minutes so you can catch your breath (and maybe grab some water). Bonus: top performers earn a coveted spot on court for semi-finals and finals weekend. Fame awaits!
You’re the MVP behind the scenes! Court Support volunteers make sure every court is game-ready at all times — stocked with cold beverages, fresh ice, and clean towels. You’ll also be on dirty towel removal duty (someone’s has to do it, and we’re glad it’s you!). Keep an eye on match progress so courts can be turned around quickly between matches and stay in close contact with the Ball Crew to tackle any court needs as they pop up.
If it takes a village to run a tournament, you’re the foundation that holds the whole village together. Facility Management volunteers work alongside the Director of Operations from day one — handling setup, keeping supplies stocked across the entire site, managing garbage and recycling, and making sure everything is broken down cleanly at the end. You’re the first ones in and the last ones out, and the whole tournament runs because of you.
Love variety? This one is for you! Floaters are the Swiss Army knives of the volunteer world — on call, ready for action, and deployed wherever they’re needed most. No two shifts look the same, and that’s exactly what makes this role so exciting. If you’re flexible, adaptable, and love being in the middle of the action, welcome to your people.
Every great event needs a great medical team, and ours is no exception. Medical volunteers staff the First Aid Station and are ready to respond to anything from a twisted ankle to a more serious emergency. You’ll be the calm in the storm, the reassuring presence that keeps everyone safe. We’re so grateful to have you on our team!
Got a knack for sales and a love of all things Sarasota Open? The Merchandising team is your court! You’ll help set up and break down the merch area daily and assist fans in snagging their favorite Sarasota Open gear. Whether someone’s looking for a hat, a shirt, or the perfect souvenir, you’ll make sure they leave happy — and maybe with a little extra in their bag.
Step into the spotlight! Each morning, before the first ball is even struck, one lucky volunteer takes center stage on the main court to perform the National Anthem — acapella, mic in hand, in front of a live crowd. It’s a moment you won’t forget. If you’ve got the pipes and the passion, we want to hear from you!
Ever wanted to rub elbows with professional tennis players? Here’s your chance! Player/Official Services volunteers manage the Player and Official Lounges and make sure everyone inside feels like a champion. From setting up the lounges and monitoring credentials, to managing food and beverage needs, handling towel distribution, and keeping laundry flowing — you keep the pros comfortable so they can focus on winning. The Team Captain also plays concierge, issuing credentials and booking practice courts.
You’re the guardians of the great guest experience! Security and Usher volunteers keep the crowd flowing, guide guests to their seats, and make sure everyone — players, fans, and fellow volunteers — feels safe and welcome. You’ll monitor access to restricted areas, check credentials, provide information, and assist tournament officials throughout the day. It’s a big job, but someone has to keep the peace (and you make it look effortless).
You’re the very first face guests see when they arrive — no pressure, but also, kind of a big deal! Ticketing volunteers manage the event entrance, scanning advance tickets, selling same-day passes, and helping guests upgrade to better seats. You’ll keep the line moving, the energy up, and make sure every single guest starts their tournament experience on the right foot.
You’re the wheels that keep the tournament turning! Transportation volunteers chauffeur players, coaches, and officials between hotels, host sites, and the tournament venue. Tournament vehicles and golf carts are provided — you just bring your good driving skills and your knowledge of the local roads. Bonus: you might just end up in some great conversations along the way.
Think of yourself as the traffic conductor of the Sarasota Open! Parking volunteers guide cars and pedestrians safely through designated parking areas, keeping things organized and stress-free for arriving guests. It’s a high-visibility role with a real impact on the guest experience from the moment they pull in.
