SUPPORT YOUR TENNIS ASSOCIATION
On both the "League" and "Community Tennis Association" web pages you will find two new buttons. The "Support our Team" and "Sportswear" buttons are on the left hand side of the screen. The "Support our Team" button will take you to a page that you can order or renew any magazine subscription. For every subscription you order or renew a small percentage will go directly to your CTA. If you are going to order magazines do it here to help you local CTA. These funds benefit all players of all ages in our Purchase Area. This is an easy way you can show your support.
The "Sportswear" button is strictly to benefit you and or your teams with a place to order products with the "Purchase Area" logo.

PLAYERS
Among other things, the Purchase Area CTA pays for the lights at the Scott Thompson courts. When you are finished playing there please turn off the light before you go. The bill this summer was much higher than it needed to be. They turn off on a timer after 2 hours but when you leave them on it costs!!! Plus, sometimes the timer sticks and they stay on all night. That really costs!!! The only way to avoid this it to make sure you hit the OFF button before you leave. Think of this like your own house. Please conserve.
