The line clinic is for anyone who is interested in learning to work professional matches as a line umpire. You will learn the techniques for the various line positions and if you do well, you will be allowed to work some of the matches on Sunday. You may be invited to work further into the tournament if your skills warrant.

The costs of getting to the tournament and housing are on your own. The line clinic is free. You should wear your USTA red and blue shirt as well as khaki shorts/long pants to if you are assigned to work on court on Sunday or later.

Going to the line clinic at a professional event is the way to gain entry into professional line umpire assignments anywhere is the US.
