We need you to push Tennis - for the health of it!SM USPTA's newest initiative is in full swing. Our main goals for this program are to make the general public aware of the tremendous health, fitness and psychological benefits of tennis and encourage people to get out and play the sport as a part of their regular fitness regimen. Tennis is a social activity that can be a great substitute for mundane gym workouts or an additional activity in a fitness routine. Also, USPTA and its members are the delivery force through which the public can receive these benefits in the form of lessons and other tennis activities.
We encourage all of you to introduce the initiative in your community using your expertise and club/facility as the delivery system. Look for ways to incorporate Tennis - for the health of it! into your tennis programs. Also encourage new, current and former players to play Tennis - for the health of it! by taking a lesson from you.
A PR tool kit for Tennis - for the health of it! is now available for your convenience electronically at www.uspta.com. Just log in as a member, go to Career Center, click on PR tools, and then click on Tennis - for the health of it! electronic PR tool kit.
