ATLANTA JUNIOR SINGLES LEAGUES
Winter will be our 4th season of Atlanta Junior singles - help us grow this league by telling every junior you know! Ace Authentic sponsors the junior league and all junior players will receive a pack of Ace Authentic Trading Cards!
REGISTRATION FEE & REFERRAL PROGRAM
This Winter our Houston & Dallas leagues have increased in price to $10. In addition, we are targeting Spring 2009 to increase the price of all of our Adult leagues to a regular price of $20 and our Junior leagues to a regular price of $10.
This is still a great value - 30% to 50% less than other flexible tennis leagues!
Also, consider that you can avoid paying the $20 fee altogether by referring as few as 10 players to LeagueTennis.com. Our referral program pays Two LeagueTennis $$ each time a referral pays to play in our league. You keep earning each and every season they play - not just one time!
REFERRAL ACCOUNTING AUTOMATION
Referral Accounting Automation will be launched 1/1/2009! This new functionality will allow you to track the details of your LeagueTennis $$ online as well as apply $$ to your registration fee at checkout!
NEED A PARTNER? Don't let the lack of a partner keep you off the courts! Find a partner for any of our doubles leagues!

10 TIPS FOR FASTER SERVES
by Tomas Mencinger / Active.com
After you have learned the basic tennis serve technique and have become quite consistent, it's common to feel the urge to really whack the ball and send a rocket towards your opponent.
You try to hit the ball hard, use all the strength in your body and somehow the serve just doesn’t seem to respond to your efforts.
In fact, it seems that it’s going even slower now.
Here are 10 tips to help you serve faster:
1. Loosen up! Don’t grip the racket so tight, loosen your whole body and swing freely at the ball.
2. Think “fast” instead of “hard.” The tension of your body starts in your mind.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD WINNER -December, 2008
Robin Baker, Hoschton, Georgia
LeagueTennis.com is excited to announce the winner of our December 2008 Good Sportsmanship Award!
Robin Baker has played in our singles and mixed doubles leagues since Spring of 2008. She was nominated by a singles opponent who was so impressed by Robin's behavior that she took the time to tell us about it. Among other things, she said that "playing the 2.5 Business Singles Championship with Robin was a wonderful experience. She is friendly and shows great sportsmanship. Although I lost, I enjoyed playing with someone so nice."
We are proud to to have players like Robin in our league! She
will receive a 1 year subscription to Tennis Life Magazine for being such a good sport!
We want to stress to all of our players that Good Sportsmanship is critical to the success of our leagues. Treat others as you would have them treat you! And, if you experience a notable case of Good Sportsmanship while participating in our leagues--WE WANT TO KNOW! Just send us an email at support@leaguetennis.com with the details along with the names of the players involved! We will highlight the winners in our monthly newsletters and on our Website!
