Dear Meta Tennis Friends:
Greetings!
Hope all had a great holiday and a nice break from tennis through the winter. I can't believe that 2018 spring adult season is coming up so soon. It is almost time to get on the court outside and take a swing at your racquet! I can't hardly wait!
Some of the logistic regarding major changes of 2018 Southern and Tennessee rules (most relevant to us):
- No 50% TN residency requirement for a team
- No max limit on a team
- Adult 55 9.0 team: if only one team registers, this team can play with other one-team areas to qualify one these teams for the state championships.
I will post the major changes and our local rules to our website:
www.meta-web.org. I will also post all the league dates to the site as well.
We also want to welcome our new state adult league coordinator Jason Ontog. He came here last month and meet some of us in early February. That is very encouraging to all of us. He has been working very hard and has some really good ideas. I believe he will help moving tennis in Tennessee to the right direction.
Meanwhile, with Jason's help, META board is also working on some new programs. So check us out on Facebook and our website for upcoming tennis opportunities locally.
Teams are forming, if you want to play or if you want to play on more teams, give me a shot. I definitely can use more players on some of the teams. But more important, get out on the court and get involved.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
Let the game begin! ...Soon!
