The daughter of Joseph and Margaret Canfield, of Dallas, Canfield began playing tennis at age 12 when her hometown built a public park with two tennis courts a mile from her home. She learned tennis by borrowing in- structional books from the pub- lic library and using a 50-cent racquet purchased at a neigh- bor’s garage sale. Canfield is the only female player to capture back-to-back Wyoming Valley Championships (Triple Crowns), winning sin- gles, doubles and mixed doubles in the same years. Because her high school, Bish- op OReilly, did not offer scholas- tic tennis, Canfield founded a “Tennis Club” that enabled her to play for the school and capture the 1977 Pennsylvania Interscho- lastic Athletic Association Dis- trict II Girls’ Singles Champion. As a freshman at Wilkes Uni- versity, Canfield led the team at first singles and doubles to the 1977 Northeastern Pennsylvania Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Association league champion- ships and earned MVP honors. CANFIELD She then transferred to East Stroudsburg University to major in Recreation and Leisure Servic- es Management. She won a sil- ver medal that clinched the War- riors’ first and only women’s team title at the Pennsylvania State Collegiate After earning a Master of Sci- ence degree in Sport Manage- ment at the University of Mas- sachusetts and completing her graduate school internship at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Canfield worked for Tennis Week Magazine. In 1985, she was hired as one of the original USTA Schools Programs Directors for the US- TA Eastern section with addi- tional responsibilities for Junior Competition/Player Develop- ment and Community programs. At the USTA Eastern section, Canfield began a 25-year career with the USTA that included a 13-year stint with the Middle States Section as executive direc- tor, leading the regional section during a period of tremendous growth from 1990 to 2002. She also served as the first female chair of the USTA Executive Di- rectors committee. In 2002, Canfield took her skills to the USTA’s corporate of- fice in White Plains, NY, working there until she semi-retired in 2010 to focus her energies on the Bucks County Tennis Associ- ation (BCTA) - a nonprofit com- munity tennis association she co- founded in 2001 with Barbara Long, another Back Mountain native now living in Langhorne. Canfield devotes most of her time as a USTA volunteer and currently serves on the national USTA Nominating Committee (and is the committee’s chair- elect for the 2013-14 term) and on the USTA Middle States Sec- tion Board of Directors - but most of her energies are dedicat- ed to the BCTA which partners with more than a dozen parks and recreation agencies, non- profits and schools to youth and adult tennis programs on public park courts throughout Bucks County.
