I’ve been thinking about the
charities and organizations Elite
has supported over the years.
Elite Sports Clubs has raised and
donated millions of dollars to many
local and national charities. We
tend to focus on charities that we
can offer a unique experience to or
that have a personal meaning—like
the MACC Fund.
I’m going to share something with
you that I don’t often talk about.
Not because I’m ashamed of it or
want to keep it a secret, simply
because I don’t want to let it shape
people’s assumptions of what I can
or cannot do. I am blind in one eye.
Long story, short—I had a very rare
type of childhood cancer at the
age of two and one of my eyes
had to be removed. Nevertheless,
I have always considered myself
lucky because Retinoblastoma
usually travels from one eye to the
other. Yet thankfully, my mother
caught it soon enough and I am
not totally blind.
But as I said, I tend not to share
this aspect of myself with others. In
fact, my younger sister told me she
didn’t find out that I was blind in
one eye until she was 18 years old.
I never wanted my blindness, lack
of depth perception or peripheral
vision to be an excuse not to do
something.

As we celebrate
Elite’s 30 years in
this community,

Sports have always been important
to me because I had to figure out
how to overcome my physical
differences to compete, and I
wasn’t going to let anyone tell
me that I couldn’t. Tennis was
particularly significant in my family.
I played at the Fox Point courts when I
was young, and we would play family
tennis on our vacations. My parents
were good players and so were my
sisters. In fact, my husband and I
played while dating in college. I never
had a lesson until I was out of school.
Nevertheless, I always played singles
because I could not see my partner on
the court much of the time and I was
afraid of hitting her. Try playing tennis
with no depth perception and attempt
to judge where the ball is coming!
Needless to say it was a challenge,
but I always managed to defeat my
“disability,” and often my opponent
too!
So, as I approach 30 years of owning
and managing Elite Sports Clubs, I
want to celebrate this accomplishment
with as many members and staff
as possible. I also want to use this
milestone as an opportunity to help
see that future generations don’t have
to go through what I did. Therefore
we are partnering with the Midwest
Athletes against Childhood Cancer
(MACC Fund) for our celebration at
the Pfister Hotel on October 14th.
We even hired an 11 piece band to
help us dance the night away! All of
our members and staff will receive an
invitation, and I hope you will be able
to join us for this special event.
Kay Yuspeh
CEO and Owner, Elite Sports Clubs
Throwback to 80's
Kay & Richard
The year is 1986 and Kay
Yuspeh just bought her first club,
the Highlander, ushering in a new
wave of tennis clubs. With this
new wave came new members
as well, including two Brookfield
natives in particular, Marilyn and
Jim Casper.
When they first joined, Marilyn
and Jim were avid tennis players
enjoying mixed doubles and the
comradery within the club. But it
soon became a family affair, as
Marilyn and Jim Casper at
Elite Sports Club Brookfield
3
their three sons were interested
in tennis as well, and eventually
swim club for their youngest. The
Highlander became a second home
to them, one that fostered fitness,
fun, and personal growth.
“We still see a lot of our friends we
made playing tennis, playing mixed
doubles,” Marilyn said. “We still
get together with them.”
The Caspers have continued
to take in the Elite experience
throughout their 48 years of
marriage, but their activities
in the club have changed over
that time. Due to injury, they
have retired from the tennis court
and taken up swimming for exercise
instead, using either the indoor or
outdoor pools depending on the
weather Wisconsin throws at them.
“I try to swim every day, I swim 1000
yards. I don’t swim more than that or
less than that, but if I can do it in the
summer, I can swim 5 or 6 times a
week,” Jim said.
Aside from swimming, they have also
come to enjoy the leisurely aspects
of the clubs, always carving out time
Marilyn and Jim at a
MACC Fund Event

for reading and chatting poolside.
For them, the club provides a very
relaxing change of scenery outside
the house and an opportunity to see
friends.
But throughout the years, they have
also made time for their second
membership. For as long as the
"It just shows when you have
a good organization, like the
MACC Fund or Elite, things
just continue to grow."
Caspers have been members of
Elite, they have also been members
of a different organization. However,
their
membership
with
this
organization is not a membership
by traditional definitions, but rather
a strong dedication and passion for
a great cause.
Marilyn and Jim have been heavily
involved with the MACC Fund
since it was founded in 1976. What
was once the Milwaukee Athletes
Against Childhood Cancer is now
the Midwest Athletes Against
Childhood Cancer, an organization
dedicated to "Giving Hope Through
Research."
When the 2-year-old son of the
Milwaukee Bucks announcer, Brett
Doucette, was diagnosed with
leukemia, Bucks player and family
friend Jon McGlocklin wanted to
help in any way he could. On his
retirement night, Jon introduced
the MACC Fund, an organization
that would team up with local
athletes and businesses to raise
money for critical research to give
kids like Brett a better chance at
survival.
As a pediatric hematologist, oncologist at Children’s Hospital, Jim was
part of the team taking care of Brett,
which is how the Fund became a
personal interest of his. Jim is not
only proud to have been part of
the Fund’s efforts, but says the state
should be proud of them too.
“The state is very lucky to have the
MACC Fund, and certainly Children’s
Hospital and the Medical College of
Wisconsin have benefited greatly,”
he explained. “There are a number
of other great organizations like
Ronald McDonald House and Make-
A-Wish that help support other
things that are really necessary,
but the MACC Fund is focused on
supporting the research.”
Jim tries to swim
1000 yards every
day in the Pools at
Elite Sports Club
A few years after it began, some of
the athlete’s wives and other women
involved with the Fund came up
with the idea of having a women’s
group, including Marilyn. As a
result, Women for MACC was born,
and Marilyn was one of the first copresidents with the wife of Brewers
player, Sal Bando.
Women
for
MACC
operates
separately from the MACC Fund,
as they host their own events and
elect their own board members and
president. However, all of the money
they raise goes directly back to
support the MACC Fund at the end
of each year.
In the past, they have hosted
hugely successful events like
children’s fashion shows and tennis
tournaments. The area’s tennis clubs
such as Elite Sports Club - Brookfield
and Mequon would host the
matches, and at the tournament’s
peak, they had at least eight clubs
participating. Women for MACC
currently hosts an annual Pasta
Fest and golf outings, among other
events throughout the year.
“One year Billie Jean King came, she
was probably our biggest name…,”
Marilyn said. “Kay was really
involved too, which is why she is still
passionate about maintaining her
relationship with the MACC Fund.”
Since it began, the MACC Fund has
raised over $45 million to fund the
crucial research. With this money,
research has been able to focus
primarily on the different forms of
cancer.
“Part of that too is bone marrow
transplant which is a treatment for
some of the patients with different
types of cancer,” Jim said. “They also
support research in hematology and
blood cell work. Sickle cell disease
especially is another huge area
where we’re trying to make inroads
in terms of transplant, new therapies,
things like that.”
With the MACC Fund’s efforts
and alongside the advancements
made in the medical field since the
1970s, survival rates have drastically
improved.
As Jim describes, “You were
probably in the 20 to 30 percent
survival, and now it’s up to around
80 to 90 percent. For some of the
leukemias it’s above 95 percent.”
Elite Sports Clubs is proud to
continue supporting the MACC
Fund because their work is bringing
real change to the Midwest, striving
for health even in a time of illness.
Having just retired, Jim and Marilyn
are realizing just how important
health and fitness are in the long
run. For Jim, he has been able to
lose weight over the years, and keep
it off because Elite has provided a
motivating environment for him to
do so.
“I think I’m more aware of what I’m
eating, and I really want to keep the
weight off,” he explained. “I think
for both of us, we stay active, and
we like the club because we can do
that.”
Jim sees one strong similarity
between Elite and the MACC Fund
in his experience with both: both
have a vision.
“It just shows when you have a
good organization, like the MACC
Fund or Elite, things just continue
to grow. The MACC Fund has grown
tremendously, and Elite has grown
too. When we joined there was just
one!” he laughed. “The longevity
speaks for itself. What the MACC
Fund has been able to do, what
Kay has been able to do with Elite,
requires a vision: where people are
going and what they are doing.”
In the clubs, this change can most
notably be seen in the variety of
opportunities the club provides for
maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
“When we joined the Highlander,
it was tennis and racquetball. And
when you look at what it is today,
it’s totally different. From swimming
to classes to basketball to fitness
centers, it has just mushroomed
compared to what it used to be,”
Marilyn described.
Whether the clubs are used for
intense tennis match play or distance
swimming followed by reading like
the Caspers, Elite has something
for everyone. For Jim and Marilyn,
the club has followed them through
the various activities they have been
involved with. From an early start in
tennis with their sons to using the
club as a go-to spot for relaxing,
they have stuck with Elite and Elite
has stuck with them.

THE HISTORY OF
TENNIS & EXERCISE
THROUGHOUT ELITE'S 30 YEARS
The past 30 years have brought
about a great deal of change in a lot
of areas: cars, computers, medicine,
and television to name a few. But in
those 30 years, a great deal of change
has also hit the spheres of tennis and
exercise, two areas in which Elite
excels.
As a whole, tennis and exercise have
a lot of moving parts. However, by
looking at the history of each decadeby-decade, we learn about what
specifically has changed, what has
improved, and what has expanded
within in each field since Elite opened
in 1986.
1980's & Early 90's
TENNIS this decade was a time of
great change for players. With the
formation of tennis unions, athletes
could play as free agents, gaining
freedom over their careers. As a
result, big players started to emerge
16
because they could control when and
where they played, filling tournament
spots with the best of the best.
With tennis popularity on the rise, all
varieties of media began covering
the tournaments from start to finish to
watch the action unfold. For example,
the late 80s were dominated by
superstars John McEnroe and
Ivan Lendl on the men’s side, and
Steffi Graf and Monica Seles on the
women’s. But professionals were not
the only players impacted by the
changing tennis climate.
The passing of Title IV, high school
and collegiate tennis formalized
competitive tennis for both boys and
girls, allowing the sport to seriously
grow throughout this decade.
High school and collegiate athletic
associations, such as the Wisconsin
Interscholastic Athletic Association
(WIAA) and National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) began
hosting tournaments more frequently
at this time, allowing players to
compete on a regular basis.
Late 90's & Mid 2000's
This period was greeted by a
remarkable difference in racquet
technology, as heavier racquet heads
and structured frames changed the
pace and power of match play forever.
A greater understanding of and
emphasis on proper hydration,
nutrition, and recovery during training
periods also came about at this time.
This focus greatly influenced how kids
developed in the game too when
tennis academies started to emerge
across the nation and their interest in
the game was sparked.
Late 2000's - 2016
There was a quiet decline of dominant
U.S. players as fierce European
competition got stronger.
with TVs. In addition to equipment,
there was an improvement in athletic
shoe technology, allowing people to
find the right shoe for their activity
level and sports.
Although many began to grasp the
importance of fitness as a whole, diet
was also roped in with the industry at
this time. Exercise no longer stood
alone as the key to wellness, but
exercise combined with a balanced,
healthy diet allowed athletes to
perform at their best.
“People are getting more active than
ever before because of the many
positive effects of being physically
fit. Staying active improves quality of
life, builds confidence and enhances
one’s social support and network,”
Elite North Shore Personal Trainer
Grace Selwitschka said.
Late 2000's - 2016
Elite aerobics
class 1990’s
“For tennis to really grow in the U.S. we
will need some outstanding champion
to take over the tennis world like
Steph Curry did for basketball or Tiger
Woods did for golf,” Elite River Glen
Tennis Director Wally Bronson notes.
Perhaps the most important change
in tennis over the past ten years is the
introduction and development of the
USTA QuickStart Tennis program for
children 10 and under, which teaches
tennis to kids on a smaller, appropriate
scale.
“The teaching methods for kids using
three different softness of balls have
allowed very young children learn
the game faster and easier,” Wally
explained.
Elite was the first club in Milwaukee to
adopt this QuickStart program, and has
since developed much of the young
talent in Wisconsin, many of whom
have gone on to play at higher levels.
“Elite has been at the forefront of
developing junior players in the
Milwaukee area. They have taught
more junior players than any other
facility in the state,” Wally confirmed.
“They have produced more national
players and college players than
anyone else in Wisconsin.”
1980's & Early 90's
EXERCISE Around the time Elite
opened, high impact aerobics and
step classes were among the top
trends. In these classes, upbeat
music kept people energized and
motivated, helping shed a positive
light on fitness like never before.
Dressed in mostly neon colors
and spandex, athletes everywhere
started to understand the benefit of
exercising with friends and in groups,
where pack mentality fostered an
encouraging workout environment.
Late 90's & Mid 2000's
As a result of this increase in group
fitness, there was a surge in fitness
clubs and gym-only establishments.
These provided a space for members
to also use personal exercise
equipments that had recently become
popular, including Thigh Masters,
Heart Rate Monitors, and treadmills
The presence of cardio sets this
decade apart from the previous
two, as fitness classes and industry
professionals began to heavily
emphasize cardio as the path to
heart health and weight loss. As the
field of exercise science progressed,
people understood which exercises
benefited certain muscles and joints,
also improving rehabilitation efforts.
The world of fitness, like many
industries over the past 10 years, was
hit by a technology wave, resulting
in programmable activity tracking
devices like Fitbit and various
smartphone apps flooding the
market. Influence from sports and pop
culture celebrities also contributed to
the rise in these devices and even the
fashion to match.
Since top athletic brands like Nike and
Adidas dominated the market, the
industry has also been tapped into by
athleisure (athletic + leisure) brands
like Fabletics and Lululemon. Many of
the products on the market now are
form fitting, versatile, and designed
with climate-control in mind.
“Fitness is going forward,” Grace
summarized. “More diverse training
and programming is coming to
accommodate a growing, more
diverse population.”
