Clint Sumrow
Director and Tennis Professional
Clint was born and raised in Texas, where he excelled in athletics as the captain of the tennis team at Plano Senior High School and achieved recognition as one of the top-ranked junior players in the state. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Texas Austin.
Following his graduation, Clint served as the Director of the Four Seasons Tennis & Health Club in Sherman, Texas, from 2006 to 2007, where he successfully increased membership and revenue by over 60%. He then transitioned to Prince Sports Group as a Sales Representative from 2007 to 2011 and subsequently held the position of District Sales Manager for HEAD Penn Racquet Sports from 2012 to 2022, during which he achieved a sales increase of more than 80%. Clint joined the High Point Tennis Center leadership team as the Assistant Director in 2022, and was appointed Director January 1, 2026. In this role, Clint is responsible for overseeing the Tennis Center’s operational and business development initiatives.
In February 2024, Clint was appointed Tournament Chair for The Texas Slam by USTA Texas and the USTA’s Junior Competitive Committee. The Texas Slam, held annually in June, is the largest junior tournament in Texas, featuring over 650 top players competing across 16 divisions. His leadership has also elevated High Point’s reputation by securing and hosting other major large-scale USTA events – including the Donoff Cup and the Cotton Bowl Tennis Classic – which collectively generate over $1 million in local economic impact. In August 2024, USTA Texas announced Clint’s reappointment as Tournament Chair for The Texas Slam for both 2025 and 2026, recognizing his outstanding management of the 2024 event.
In recognition of his exceptional dedication to the tennis community, Clint received the Pro Volunteer Award from the Dallas Tennis Association in December 2023. This prestigious honor is reserved for professionals in the tennis industry who exemplify exceptional commitment, generosity, and service to leagues, Junior Team Tennis, tournaments, and fundraising events.
In 2025, Clint was honored with the RSPA Texas Star Award, which recognizes professionals who have made a lasting impact on their communities. He has also served as a featured speaker at the RSPA Texas Conference, where he shared insights on leadership, community engagement, and program development within the racquet sports industry.
Clint has also been recognized by the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) for his charitable contributions through tennis. He was honored with the USPTA Texas Lessons for Life™ Award in both 2018 and 2019, and in 2020, he received the USPTA National Lessons for Life™ Award. This award recognizes USPTA members who have made significant efforts to raise funds for charities through tennis events.
Clint’s passion for giving back is deeply personal. At age five, he was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer, and successfully underwent treatment at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. His experience inspired his family and friends to launch the Children Helping Children Tennis Tournament, benefiting Children’s Health. During its 30 year run, the USTA-sanctioned event raised over $3.5 million to support pediatric cancer research and treatment programs.
In addition to this impactful work, Clint has served on several community boards and committees, including the Board of Directors for Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer, the Board of Directors and Adult League Committee and Junior Team Tennis Committee for the Dallas Tennis Association, and the planning team for the Smashing Childhood Cancer charity tennis event benefiting the TeamConnor Childhood Cancer Foundation. He also holds the role of Vice President of the Dallas Professional Tennis Association.
An accomplished tennis player, Clint holds a 5.0 NTRP Rating and is recognized as a USPTA Elite Tennis Professional as well as a USPTA Certified Pickleball Professional. Above all, he is the proud father of his ten-year-old son, Grayson Wyatt. He and his wife, Lindsey, also share a blended family with Lindsey’s four children, creating a full and lively household.
