October 2008 Newsletter

 

 

It’s October and USTA is just around the corner. Amazing, huh?  I hope your last few ALTA matches find you playing your best.


Given what’s going on in our country today, I can’t help but remember that “change starts with ourselves, with small things first.”  Why did I add this – well, just try to take care of one another, including our wonderful tennis community, and buying from your local tennis stores!  I know the store owners; how hard they work and how they will bend over backward to make sure you have what you need for the best experience imaginable on the court.


We are getting closer to having a revamped site and a main goal is to have an area where you can not only see what events are taking place, but have access to one another, the local leagues and what stores have for you at the absolute best value.  Don’t forget to tell me what your goals and dreams are for your tennis – through all this networking I may send you straight to just what you are looking for. info@tennisplayersnetwork.com


 Keep dreaming, play hard; real hard and smile!!!
