All applicants must register via the tournament website http://www.bbtatlantaopen.com; ball persons who worked the tournament in 2012 must register but do not have to try out.
Ball persons play a very important role in the overall operation of each match. Their primary job will be to retrieve balls when they are out of play but they must also know how to keep score, move quickly, endure long matches in the sun and work well with others on a team.
