LEAGUE GROWTH INITIATIVE

What constitutes a “new team”? A 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 team that has at least 6 new players that have not played Adult, Senior, Super Senior AND NOW MIXED DOUBLES & COMBO. What constitutes a “new player”? A new player will be identified as one that has an “S” rating on the roster. Who is qualified to start a team? Anyone that starts a team would qualify for the payout. This could include a pro, a LLC, a facility manager, a captain, or just a tennis enthusiast. Can a player be counted in two leagues? No, a player is only eligible to be counted one time. If they are resubmitted on another form they will not count towards the six players to constitute a new team. When can I start recruiting new teams? The first 2011 registrations begin November 1st and submissions will be accepted at that point for the 2011 league year. Early Start Leagues will run on a 2011 calendar year cycle. How do I submit a claim? For the Form - whitnellc@newwavecomm.net

PATA TENNIS
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! SO….. 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!!

IF YOU HAVE A "FAMILY MEMBERSHIP", REGISTER ALL OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS YOUNG AND OLD WHETHER THEY PLAY TENNIS OR NOT. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS.

OUR GRANT MONEY IS DETERMINED BY THESE MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS AND THIS HELPS OUR CTA PROVIDE FREE CLINICS, TENNIS INSTRUCTION, PROGRAMS, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES FOR OUR MEMBERS.

YOUR CTA NEEDS YOU
Purchase Area tennis is growing. In order to better serve you the Purchase Area Tennis Association needs to expand. We are looking for volunteers to be on specific committees. The needs of tennis in the area have far outgrown what our small CTA can service. Suggested committees - Fundraising Committee, Windscreen Committee, Lights Committee, Annual Scott Thompson Tournament Committee............ If we have committees and divide up the task among many people it will not be a burden on a small few people. Any suggestions or input on this subject would be appreciated and if you or someone you know would like to be involved contact any CTA representative.

LIGHTS AT SCOTT THOMPSON
This past month there was a glitch with the lights at Scott Thompson. They were stuck in the on position. Your CTA pays for those lights. Please remember to turn them off when you are done playing and to call us when you think there is a problem with them. It will save us a lot of money that could be going to many other tennis projects and programs.

SUPPORT YOUR TENNIS ASSOCIATION
On both the "League" and "Certified 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.
