The WTA 500 tournament will return March 30 – April 7, 2024 in the Credit One Stadium on Daniel Island in Charleston, South Carolina. The Charleston Open annually welcomes the world’s best women’s tennis players to the Lowcountry and more than 90,000 attendees. The 2024 player field already includes several top-ranked players with commitments from Jessica Pegula, Maria Sakkari and 2023 champion Ons Jabeur, among others.
The tournament is actively recruiting 350 volunteers as well as 100 ball crew members for the 2024 event. Volunteers can apply to assist in various areas of the tournament including court ushers, court maintenance, airport ambassadors, guest services, tournament ambassadors, horticulture, IT, media center, player services and the volunteer cafe. Ball crew members are part of the on-court action and help aid match play by retrieving wayward tennis balls and providing assistance to players on-court.
“Our volunteers play an integral role in the tournament’s success. Their invaluable contributions help us transform the tournament into an engaging and welcoming atmosphere for players and spectators alike,” said Bob Moran, Tournament Director of the Credit One Charleston Open and President of Beemok Sports & Entertainment. “Participating as a tournament volunteer offers a unique lens into the behind-the-scenes operations of large-scale events, and we are committed to providing an enriching and positive experience for the generous individuals in our community who donate their time.”
As part of an incentive to volunteer, participation includes tickets to watch world-class tennis, meal allowances and tournament apparel. Volunteers are required to work a minimum of six shifts. Training and orientation sessions are also required prior to the event.
