Increase number of tennis lessons
The more players from 4.0 down to beginner levels compete, the more lessons they take. Since we don't offer lessons, we recommend affiliated pros that they can go to according to their location. For example a player would contact us about lessons, we would ask where they live and send them to the nearest club & pro on our list.
Increase Club membership
the more the players compete, the more they will need places to play their matches. By having the 1stserve league as an option, your club will be a magnet for the players. Increase pro shop activity As you know, the more players who visit your club, the more sales your pro shop will register, the more they play, the more sales will be generated in the form of racquet stringing, strings and accessories.
Social events and tournaments
We run social tennis events like banquets and mixers for our members and are also looking for tournament directors to run either state, regional and or national tournaments, which provide even more revenue and visibility for your club.

What's wrong with tennis?A) Ignoring past players
B) Not being promoted properly
C) Poor image in the traditional sports media
D) Not acknowledging that the game is hard to play
E) Not giving the new and current player enough options
A) For every person who plays tennis at least once a month, there are 10 more who own a tennis racket that's gathering dust in the closet and has given up on the game.
B) Poker and the spelling bee gets more ESPN and sportscenter air time then tennis. Unless it's a major or the upset of a big name, tennis does not make it on sportscenter and is barely visible in the sports section of the local papers, - out of sight out of mind
C) If I had a dollar each time I hear a non tennis sports media type say, "Men's tennis is boring", "men's tennis is all serve no rally", I'd be a million times less poor then I am today. They are simply not watching the game up close and are repeating what their colleagues say and write.
D) Tennis is a hard sport to play and an extremely annoying, demanding, and taxing exercise on the body. If you can't keep the ball going over the net for 2-3 shots, you can't play tennis. It takes practice, and more practice to constantly have 3 to 5 shot rallies. Not everyone has what it takes, to play tennis, no matter how good of a coach you are, there are some people out there that you will not be able to teach.
E) We are stuck on the premise that tennis alone will bring new players to the game and tennis alone will keep them playing. No - it takes more then tennis to get people to join and stay in the game. Tennis must not interfere with their lifestyle and more important it must enhance their current activities outside of tennis.
