The age restructuring for leagues was passed at the National Meeting this past weekend. All changes will be effective for the 2013 league season, provided TennisLink is ready. There are a couple of “NEW” additions to these age divisions that are very exciting for our 5.0 and 5.5 players:
In the “18 and Over” Adult – the 5.0 teams may have two 5.5 players on the team.
In the “40 and Over” Adult – the 4.5 teams may have two 5.0 players on the team.

We are very lucky to have many programs and wonderful Scott Thompson courts due to the efforts of our tennis association. PATA has many expenses each year just to maintain the facilities and the many different programs, clinics and events sponsored by our association.
DID YOU KNOW???
Expenses for the lights are about $3,600.00 a year! The porta potty costs $750.00 a year! Up keep on lawn(mowing) and garbage disposal costs $600.00 a year! Our PATA president, Chuck Whitnell, applies for every grant we are eligible to receive but this money is getting more difficult to acquire.WITHOUT EACH OF YOU, THE PURCHASE AREA TENNIS ASSOCIATION WOULD NOT BE SUCCESSFUL AND WE WANT THIS SUCCESS TO CONTINUE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!!

***ATTENTION*** - USTA tennis players with family memberships
USTA Southern, is looking closely at each CTA and their membership numbers. In an effort to increase our membership numbers, we are asking you to do something for our CTA. It will not cost you anything, but it will help all of us in the long run. When you get or renew your family membership each year, sign up all of your family members.
The Purchase Area Tennis Association is working hard to provide tennis programs for the participants in Western Kentucky and West Tennessee. We appreciate each of you and will continue to create programs to grow tennis in our region.
