The Callen Cup

Team Georgia - The Callen Cup

The Callen Cup (Formerly Southern Senior Cup) was renamed in honor of the late John Callen in July 2021. John Callen served as both the USTA Southern Executive Director and COO for 33 years and as one of our USTA Georgia board presidents.

There are two team awards that are given each year in connection with this event. First is the Mildred Southern Award which is based on the final order of teams in each division. Second is the Gil Stacy Award which is based on the overall number of matches won. Team Georgia won both this year! Go Team Georgia!
