My name is Ozzy West Odom, and I am a 16-year-old sophomore tennis player born and raised in St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands. While the Virgin Islands offers limited opportunities for USTA, ITF or UTR tournaments, I am committed to pursuing my tennis goals. I travel to Puerto Rico once or twice a month to compete in the Caribbean District, which has helped me sharpen my skills and gain valuable match experience. I have also represented my country internationally at Junior Davis Cups. I am currently ranked #1 in the 16-and-Under age group in the USTA Caribbean District, and I am determined to continue to rise in the rankings as I age up. I have attended several small academies at various times in America. I am excited to continue to improve my tennis, while staying in traditional school and with my family in the Caribbean and enjoying a well balanced high school life. I have visions and intentions of playing D1 or D2 college tennis.
