Tennis Plate

This is a photo of what the Tennis license plate will look like. The purchaser will also be able to replace the 00000 with whatever desired, such as their name, etc..

Hello Tennis Friends!

I will continue to post to remind you about doing your Pre-Commitment for the Alabama Tennis Foundation Specialty License Tag. I was really excited to learn a few weeks ago that our tag was the most requested for pre-commitments of all the specialty tags available, so my thanks to all of you in Baldwin County and keep it up! This is going to best be accomplished by friends urging friends to make this happen so I am counting on all of you.

All you have to do is to go to your local DMV and tell them you want to fill out a Pre-Commitment form for the Alabama Tennis Foundation Specialty License Tag. You do not have to wait until your renewal time! In fact, the sooner you do this the better because as soon as we get 250 commitments the license plate can be made. The cost to you is $50, $41 of which is tax deductible. (Don't forget to keep the copy of your paperwork. This is what you will use to pick up your plate once they are available). With the minimum of 250 plates, $10,000 a year will go to the Alabama Tennis Foundation and communities all over the state will benefit from this fund.

If you have any questions all the information you need is on www.alabamata.com. There are over 14,000 USTA members in Alabama. But remember that if all of those people think someone else will step up and do this it will never happen

Many thanks to those of you that have already done this and those that are going to do this!!

NTRP MEETING

Have you ever wondered?????
How you received your rating?
Why you were moved up when your partner wasn't?
Why if you lost all your matches, you were still moved up?
How you got your bench mark rating?
Why you were DQ'd?
How the ratings are computed?
Or have you just wondered??????
If so, this meeting is for you!

There will be a meeting Thursday night (June 3) @ 7:00 at Creekside Church, 2315 Roberts Lane in Florence to answer any questions you may have about your NTRP rating. Phil Meador is flying in from South Carolina especially for the Shoals area. I would love to have a large turnout. Please make every effort to attend. Please let me know if you can make it! My goal is 100.............

Phil serves as the TennisLink Coordinator for the USTA Southern Sectional League. Meador was the Chief Verifier for USTA South Carolina for a number of years. Some of you may have seen him at our State Championships in Mobile when we had verifiers. He currently serves on the USTA Southern League Committee, Southern NTRP Committee, the National Oversight Committee, and the National Longrange Planning Committee. In Georgetown, SC Meador works as a teaching pro where he coaches several youth teams.

His presentation “NTRP Myth Busters” has been presented all over the southern section with rave response.

If you want to gain an understanding of the computer ratings, here’s your chance!
