HEARD AROUND ATLA NTA REPORTED BY EMMY POWELL, CORY SEKINE-PETTITE, JOHN HANNA, AND GINA CLANCE

ALTA Rules Changes You Should Know New Third Set/Super Tiebreak Rule for Adult Tennis Leagues In an effort to respect members’ busy schedules and the increasing demand for area racquet facilities, the ALTA Executive Committee voted in November to make a 10-point super tiebreak the regular season default option in the adult tennis leagues, effective with the 2026 winter season. If all four players wish to play a full third set, they may do so. The decision to play the full third set may be made at any point BEFORE the start of the super tiebreak/third set. (Please see bolded section below for the changed wording.)

Adult League General Rules, IV. DUAL MEETS All matches will be the best two of three sets. The 7-point tiebreak as specified by USTA (not Coman) will be in effect any time the score reaches 6-all in any set. During regular season match play, a 10-point tiebreak shall be played to decide a split set match unless all players involved agree to play a full third set.

During playoffs and City Finals matches, a full third set shall be played to decide a split set match unless all players involved agree to play a 10-point tiebreak. (Note: The President or League VP has the authority to require that a 10-point tiebreak be played to decide a split set match during playoffs and City Finals.)

FOR THE SENIOR LEAGUES ONLY (Senior Mixed, Senior Men/Women and Senior Day Men/Women): For regular season and post-season match play, a

10-point tiebreak shall be played to decide a split set match unless all players involved agree to play a full third set.

(Note: The President or League VP has the authority to require that a 10-point tiebreak be played to decide a split set match during playoffs and City Finals.)

Junior Leagues Implement Rule Changes As the juniors take the courts this spring, one rule change will affect their matches.

The 15U players will now play two full sets just like the 18U players. The new rule and explanation of scoring can be found below and in the Junior Rules under ALTA Documents on the ALTA website.

IV. Dual Meets C. All 10U and 12U matches will be 8-game pro sets. A match is won when one team wins eight games by a margin of at least two games. If the score reaches 7-all, two games are played. If a team wins both of these games, the win is scored 9-7.

If the score reaches 8-all, a 7-point tiebreak is played, and the win is scored 9-8.

D. All 15U and 18U matches will be 2 adult sets. The 7- point tiebreak will be in effect anytime the score reaches six all in any set. In the case of split sets, a 10-point match tiebreak will be played to determine the match.

VIII. Scoring For 10U and 12U the total number of games will be counted to determine the points awarded during a dual meet. A bonus point is awarded for each match won, except for a match won by a score of 9-7, or one in which a tie-break is played and the win is scored 9-8. Thus, the maximum

number of points possible to earn in any dual meet is 36.

For 15U and 18U, the total number of games will be counted to determine the points awarded during a dual meet. The set games will be totaled for each team, and one point will be awarded to the team who wins the 10-point tiebreak when the teams split sets. Thus, the maximum number of points possible to earn in any dual meet is 56.

Another rule change went into effect with the fall 2025 season and had a huge impact! According to Junior Leagues Vice President Kim Freeman, allowing players to play twice in one match was successful in eliminating defaults and the feedback has been extremely positive.

ALTA Pickleball Adding New Leagues This Summer Get ready to play even MORE pickleball this summer! ALTA is adding gender-specific leagues to the calendar, so grab your paddles and grab your friends!

In addition to a mixed doubles pickleball league, men’s and women’s leagues will be available for you to test your dinking and driving!

Mixed doubles will see a slight change.

Matches will be two lines of men’s doubles and two lines of women’s doubles and will still take place on Mondays at 6:30 p.m.

The women’s league will play three lines of doubles on Wednesday mornings at 9 a.m., and the men’s league will play three lines of doubles on Friday mornings at 9 a.m. Registration for those leagues will begin April 30.

Matthieson Takes on New Role at Berkeley Hills Country Club After serving in the role of Director of Racquet Sports at Berkeley Hills Country Club (BHCC), Creig Matthieson has now assumed the duties of General Manager. As the first Atlanta-area racquet sports director to achieve this, his promotion marks a milestone not only for BHCC, but also within the private club industry.

“It is our goal to create a welcoming and exceptional environment where members, guests, and employees are delighted by every experience,” Matthieson said. “Our focus is service to others.”

Matthieson also will be involved in conducting seminars for various racquet sports organizations in a pathway for Racquet Sports Directors towards a General Manager career at private clubs.

“I think it’s good for other pros to know there is a way to move up to general manager,” he said.

Todd Whitson has assumed the duties of Director of Racquet Sports at BHCC. 12

Chattahoochee Country Club Pro-Am Benefits Gateway Domestic Violence Center During a perfect weather weekend last October, Chattahoochee Country Club (CCC) hosted its 31st Annual Tennis Charity Pro-Am. Each year, the tennis committee selects a local charity in the Gainesville area to be the beneficiary of the club’s premier event. For 2025, the committee chose the Gateway Domestic Violence Center.

The weather could only be topped by the camaraderie and enjoyment of this weekend by all the participants. With fewer players representing each team, the weekend allowed the 24 members hosting 12 energetic professionals from the area to get to know each other outside of the on-court tennis. The team format this lakeside member-owned club used encouraged team building and sportsmanship from everyone in the event.

Members, visiting professionals, and staff are still talking about what a successful event this was. In addition to the on-court fun, a silent auction and raffle were held with all proceeds going directly the Gateway Domestic Violence Center. Everyone at CCC is already looking forward to next year’s event.

Padel Haus Atlanta Opens in Midtown While tennis has long dominated Atlanta’s court sports scene, a new racquet sport is making waves in the city. Padel Haus Atlanta, the city’s first covered padel club, opened in the historic Westside Paper building in West Midtown, introducing this rapidly growing sport to the local community.

Played on an enclosed court approximately 25-percent smaller than a tennis court, padel incorporates glass walls into live play, adding new dimensions of strategy and excitement. The sport is played in doubles using solid, stringless rackets and a depressurized tennis ball. Padel emphasizes strategy, teamwork, and quick reflexes — making it instantly accessible to players of all skill levels.

What sets Padel Haus apart, owners say, is its premium facility and comprehensive offerings. The 24,500-square-foot venue features six, state-of-the-art courts with 40-foot ceiling heights. Amenities include a juice bar, upscale locker rooms, a pro shop, and the Padel Haus Academy, which is led by Coach Simon Castello, who has more than 15 years of experience teaching padel around the world.

“Padel is the perfect complement to tennis,” says Santiago Gomez, CEO and Founder of Padel Haus. “Many of our members are ALTA players looking for ways to stay active year-round and enjoy a different style of competitive play.

We’re thrilled to bring this incredible sport to Atlanta and become part of the community that makes this city such a tennis hub.”

“Our association awards offer national recognition to our most deserving members,” Boyce said. “The quality these individuals, business owners, and competitors have shown in 2025 is exceptional and sets a standard worth showcasing.”

ALTA Foundation Announces 2026 Award Opportunities L. Keith Wood Scholarships Now in its eighth year, the ALTA Foundation is proud to continue offering the L. Keith Wood Scholarship in 2026. Eight outstanding high school seniors will each receive a $2,500 scholarship to assist with tuition at an accredited university, college, or technical school.

To qualify for this prestigious award, students must have taken part in the ALTA Junior League, Junior AA program, Junior Challenge Ladder, or the Foundation’s START program.

Applicants should also reflect a genuine dedication to community service and show how tennis has shaped their development, both as players and as individuals.

Scholarship applications will open in late February 2026, with awards announced in May.

To honor Bryan’s lasting impact, ALTA board members Lamar Scott and Rita Maloof have established the Bryan Shepherd Award, celebrating his legacy of mentorship, community service, and love for the game. The award will provide financial support or educational opportunities for students from underserved communities who are making a difference in their communities and striving to create a better future for themselves and others.

Scott shared, “I am proud to have known Bryan on the court, but even more as a close friend. His legacy lives on in every match played, in every smile shared on the court, and in the stories we’ll continue to share about a man who truly loved the game — and everyone he touched along the way.”

Shepherd’s love for tennis touched everyone around him.

His spirit lives on through the students he taught, the teammates he inspired, and the countless park-goers who witnessed his joy and dedication on the court.

More details about the Bryan Shepherd Award will be released soon.

ALTA Partners with Agnes Scott College to Study Membership Data At the beginning of last year, 2025 ALTA President Rita Maloof was contacted by Dr. Li Qi, Department of Economics and Business Management (and ALTA member!), from Agnes Scott College about a potential partnership utilizing her students to assist us with data analysis.

“Dr. Qi’s students were used to working with case studies, and she was looking for an opportunity to work on a real-time project with community impact to which the students could relate,” said Maloof.

Dr. Qi first joined ALTA in 2022 and learned a little bit about its history from the website and from Net News magazine. When she mentioned ALTA to tennis friends outside Atlanta; they were amazed — even jealous—of the opportunities ALTA offers to recreational players. “That made me realize how unique this organization is and piqued my curiosity about how ALTA grew to become the world’s largest city tennis league,” Qi said.

She was also struck by Maloof’s message about connecting people and communities. “That has certainly been my personal experience. Tennis has not only taught me a new sport,” she commented. “It has served as a bridge to new friendships and introduced me to neighborhoods across our city that I had never visited, even after living in Atlanta for many years.”

ALTA was able to provide the student team with non-proprietary data, and they created base impressions of the organization.

The records included data from 2000-2025. Maloof said this gave ALTA the opportunity to validate directional and strategic initiatives using impressions provided by an objective third party.

The data showed that ALTA has a large body of extraordinarily loyal membership. Even after the pandemic-related dip, most players returned within a few years. Over the past decade, ALTA has had more women members (56 percent) than men (44 percent). The average age of ALTA players is 45. The leagues with the highest participation are Mixed Doubles and Sunday Women, followed by Men and Thursday Women.

“The biggest surprise for my students was the geographic distribution of members,” Qi said. “It has remained remarkably stable for two decades, but with a stark contrast between north and south Atlanta. There is not much tennis below I-20 (except for recent growth in the 30316 zip code).”

Qi’s research showed that sustaining and growing membership requires retaining current members as well as attracting new players. Several factors influence this, including competition from pickleball, competition from other leagues such as Ultimate Tennis and T2, and access to court facilities. “Without sufficient facilities, potential players simply cannot participate,” she said.

Maloof explained this is just the first phase of the project which provided a baseline around membership demographics, facility information, and league trends. Phase two will take a deeper look at resource utilization and potential growth opportunities.

“It’s been such a valuable experience applying data analytics to support a community organization that promotes both tennis and connection across Atlanta,” said student Jiaqi Pu. “As a professor, I am always seeking ways to extend learning beyond the classroom and show students how their academic skills translate into real-world value,” Qi added. “This project brought all of that together, making it both fun and deeply meaningful for me and my students.”

The Atlanta Cup Debuts with Star Power and a Fresh Vision for Tennis The inaugural Atlanta Cup delivered exactly what the city’s tennis-loving community hoped for: a high-energy night of world-class exhibition play, hometown pride, and a new tradition that already feels at home on Atlanta’s sports calendar. Held December 6 at Gas South Arena, the one-night showcase brought together global standouts Naomi Osaka, Aryna Sabalenka, Nick Kyrgios, and local favorite Ben Shelton in front of a crowd that matched the players point for point in energy.

The evening kicked off with an electric exhibition set from INTENNSE, setting the tone for a night that felt distinctly and authentically Atlanta. As the arena filled, what stood out wasn’t just the caliber of tennis, but the enthusiastic crowd as well.

Attendees were a true ref lection of the city’s diversity, creating an atmosphere that felt new, welcoming, and deeply connected to the community.

In the women’s headliner, world No. 1 Sabalenka topped former world No. 1 and four-time Grand Slam champion Osaka 6–3, 4–6, 10–4 in a match tiebreak, giving fans a thrilling contrast of styles and competitive fire. On the men’s side, Shelton, one of the fastest-rising talents

on the ATP Tour, earned a straight-sets win over Kyrgios, 7–6, 6–3, punctuating the night with a hometown victory.

Event founder Jason Dolan said the goal from the beginning was to create an event that felt rooted in the heartbeat of the city.

“We wanted the Atlanta Cup to reflect Atlanta in every way,” Dolan said. “When fans look around the arena and see themselves represented — on the court, on the mic, and in the stands — the sport becomes more accessible and more electric. We are grateful that the Atlanta tennis community embraced this first year with open arms. They’re our priority. Their support is our foundation, and we’re eager to keep building this event further with them.”

That sense of representation wasn’t an announcement or an initiative. It was simply the natural result of designing an event with community at its center. The diversity, the energy, the engagement from the first match to the last served as its own statement. Representation didn’t need a speech; it was baked into the experience.

Wit h st rong at tenda nce, sta r

participation and an atmosphere that resonated far beyond the scorelines, the Atlanta Cup’s debut left a clear message: Atlanta isn’t waiting for the tennis world to hand it a permanent place on the calendar. It’s building one. And if the first year is any indication, this event may set the standard for how offseason exhibitions evolve — rooted in community, powered by design, and reflective of the audiences tennis has long hoped to reach.

ALTA 2025 ANNUAL MEETING

Changing things up a little is sometimes a good thing, and 2025 ALTA Board Chair Lamar Scott described the road we have taken toward a huge change for the 91-year-old organization.

A Wrap on ALTA’s 2025 MOVING FORWARD “While ALTA’s primary focus has historically been JUST tennis, most of you are familiar with our venture into pickleball,” Scott told everyone present at the 2025 annual meeting in November. “While we do remain true to our roots, we also recognize the importance of growing our membership and investing in a racquet sport that certainly won’t be going away any time soon. We started this journey back in 2022, with discussion about how to incorporate ALTA in the growth of this game and how to increase membership. We did not want to function in a vacuum though, so we called in other pickleball leaders in the city and even some of our members to iron out expectations and how to approach adding pickleball.”

ALTA has now become the largest local pickleball league in the country with over 10,000 members! “We started with introducing our members to the game with several pickleball socials and gatherings just to foster interest,” Scott said. “Then in 2023, we embarked on our first pickleball league with only one season. We had almost 5,000 members for pickleball during that inaugural season. In 2024, that increased to over 8,200 members. This year, we increased by about 30 percent to over 10,800 members!

We have more plans to expand over next year.”

Another step forward involved ALTA’s sponsorship of The Atlanta Cup. While the loss of The Atlanta Open seemed like a step back, The Atlanta Cup brought professional tennis back to our area in December. Featuring Ben Shelton, Nick Kyrgios, Aryna Sabalenka, and Naomi Osaka, the debut of this event proved that Atlanta loves tennis.

The ALTA Foundation reached deep into the community in 2025, according to outgoing Foundation President Cameron Turner. Over $130,000 was given to deserving programs and individuals.

The ALTA Grant Program awards funds to nonprofits that have tennis and/or pickleball programs that serve at-risk communities, veterans, developmentally disabled and adaptive sports programs. Twenty-one non-profits received grants from the ALTA Foundation in 2025.

The Keith L. Wood Scholarship Program awarded eight scholarships, totaling $24,000, to deserving high schoolers last year. These students not only excel in school but are serving in their community, working jobs, volunteering as mentors or tutors, and participating in tennis and other extracurricular activities.

The START Grant program supports Title 1 schools where access to tennis programs is not always available. “I am excited to report that we are now supporting 21 Title 1 high schools across metro-Atlanta with $42,500 in funding to buy uniforms, racquets, ball machines, nets, and more,” Turner said. “And what is even more exciting is that this is a 162-percent increase of schools over the past four years!”

SPENDING WISELY ALTA Treasurer Susan Levin let everyone know that the organization is stable and financially sound. “I’m happy to report we are continuing to grow with another two-percent increase in revenue over last October and our pickleball growth continues to lead the way,” Levin said.

As of the end of October, ALTA’s expenses were seven percent higher than at the same time in 2024. However, the added costs were mostly attributed to preplanned purchases, including the new coordinator shirts, according to Levin. “As we look forward to 2026 with great anticipation of what’s to come, our Board of Directors have approved the 2026 budget so we’re all ready to start the new year,” she concluded.

CONNECTING Connecting with our members, our community, and our future as one of the country’s elite racquet sport organizations was the most important goal ALTA President Rita Maloof set for 2025. In wrapping up her year at the helm, Maloof gave many examples of how she and ALTA made good on the promise of connecting with others.

“In 2025, we connected with 10,303 tennis teams — 197,343 participants across league play. We played 33,474 tennis matches and 4,046 pickleball matches,” she explained. “We recognized eight captains who have served in that role for over 100 seasons. We celebrated over 20 captains who have served at least 75 seasons and over 100 captains who have led their teams for at least 50 seasons.”

LISTENING David Rowe is the 2026 ALTA President, and he is ready to listen. “As we look ahead, I want to continue that forward motion by strengthening communication between volunteers, captains, and leadership — perhaps even creating a more streamlined way for suggestions and feedback to reach us quickly and directly,” said Rowe. “ALTA members need to know their voices matter and that they are being heard. Listening to those voices builds connection, and connection with our members builds momentum.”

Scott closed the meeting by thanking the many volunteers who have made ALTA what it is. He emphasized how important the relationships are between the volunteers, the members, the families, and the community. “Often when we travel, we wear an ALTA visor or a shirt, and it’s amazing how many people approach us from around the world who have an ALTA connection,” he said. “People often tell us there is nothing like ALTA anywhere else in the country and abroad, and it is true. We ALL have a story … we have something special here, and it is my hope that I have been a good steward of that.”

ALTA’s Best of the Best 2025 League Coordinators of the Year

Paige Hodges

Mixed Doubles League

Joan Appelbaum

Senior Leagues

Hometown: Denver, Colorado

Hometown: Oneonta, Alabama

Hometown: Carmel, Indiana

“What truly sets Paige apart is her proactive approach to problem-solving and her unparalleled communication skills,” said Mixed Doubles League Vice President Nicole Jennings. “She is always quick to respond to questions, resolve issues, and to ensure that everyone feels heard and valued. Her ability to motivate and inspire others is truly remarkable. She leads by example and encourages a spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship both on and off the court. Her contributions have not only positively impacted the league but have also continued to inspire and make a lasting impact on the ALTA community.”

“Maryellen has been a positive asset to our group of Junior coordinators,” said Junior Leagues Vice President Kim Freeman.

“She has a very good rapport with the team managers and comes with a lot of knowledge and experience since she has managed her son’s teams for many years.

Her overall, Beth Harris, indicated that she handles parent and team manager problems with grace and understanding and recently received and read a manager text at 4:30 a.m.! During City Finals, she steps up and goes above and beyond and always approaches our long days with a lot of enthusiasm.”

“Joan has been a volunteer for ALTA for 24 years. She has held every position available, including employee — Chairman, President, First VP, Thursday Women VP, Overall, Coordinator for Sunday, Thursday Women, Senior Mixed, Senior Women, Captain, Co-captain, and so on,” according to Senior Leagues Vice President Seth Appelbaum.

“Her knowledge and love for ALTA — from the rules to the history — is matched by few. Her passion is amazing. She is always available to answer questions for team captains and other volunteers. As the VP these past two years, she made my job much easier and almost stress-free.”

“My favorite thing about being an ALTA volunteer is the incredible people I’ve met along the way, from fellow volunteers and ALTA leaders to our amazing members,” Hodges said. “City Finals is truly the best day of the season for a coordinator. There’s nothing like seeing the excitement on players’ faces, whether they are making their first City Finals appearance or returning for another. The energy, the team spirit, the matching outfits, and the friendly competition all capture what makes ALTA so special. We have the best members, and I feel so lucky to meet and get to know so many of them through this role.”

Helping other team managers is what motivated Stockton to join ALTA’s volunteers. “I’ve managed my son’s junior team several times and have captained my Sunday women’s team, so ALTA has been a big part of both my family and community life,” she said. “I enjoyed managing my son’s team and wanted to continue supporting the Junior program by helping parent managers throughout the season.”

Appelbaum believes ALTA’s benefits go above and beyond. “ALTA provides an opportunity for competition at levels that everyone can enjoy,” she said. “ALTA brings people together for fun, exercise, and camaraderie that lasts beyond the tennis court. All good things for a happy, healthy life!”

Each year, ALTA honors several volunteers who have stood out in their respective leagues. We could not promote tennis and serve our members without our army of volunteers! They are truly what keeps ALTA going!

Meet your 2025 Coordinators of the Year!

Traci Baskin Sunday Women’s League Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia “I am pleased to nominate Traci Baskin for Coordinator of the Year. She has been a Coordinator for our League for three years,” said Sunday Women’s League Vice President Diane Royston. “She has excelled in her role as the coordinator for the ALTA Sunday Women’s teams, demonstrating exceptional responsiveness and commitment throughout the season.

Her captains know they can count on her for timely communication and reliable guidance, and she consistently ensures that the levels for which she is responsible run smoothly. She demonstrates deep knowledge of the ALTA rules, which is evident in the way she confidently addresses issues and supports her captains. In addition to commitment and knowledge, Traci is delightful to work with, always approachable, and maintains a positive attitude when dealing with demanding captains.”

“When Loretta Phillips encouraged me to volunteer for ALTA, I was deeply touched and genuinely excited,” Baskin said. “Tennis isn’t just a sport for me; it’s an extreme passion and a way to build meaningful connections in my community. Taking on the role of coordinator has given me the chance to support other captains and players and give back to the game that means so much to me. It is a privilege to help our league grow and to carry on the mission that Loretta cared so deeply about.

I know she would have been proud of this achievement!”

Joan Marcinko Senior Day Leagues Hometown: Greensburg, Pennsylvania “Many people know this person because she has been a fixture in ALTA for many years,” said Senior Day Leagues Vice President Rusty Jones. “I have had the pleasure of volunteering alongside her multiple times in my ALTA career. She is definitely a ‘volunteer’s volunteer’ because she teaches by example and when dealing with the membership, she listens and then is generally spot on with her knowledge of the rules and the penalties associated with whatever the violation is.”

“I’ve lived in Atlanta for over 40 years,” Marcinko said. “When my middle daughter, Jamae, was on the ALTA Challenge Ladder in the late 1990’s, I felt like I had to ‘pay back’ for the opportunities she had playing on the ladder. I was a ladder manager, overall, then VP. After the ladder, I took on the job as VP of tournaments. I’ve also served as VP of Special Programs (twice) and was recently the VP of the Senior Day League, my favorite! Over 25 years, I’ve loved being an ALTA volunteer!”

Stephen Taylor Pickleball League Hometown: Redondo Beach, California “When looking to add additional coordinators for pickleball this year, we reached out to past league captains and Stephen quickly raised his hand,” Pickleball League Vice President Greg McAfee said.

“Since joining as a pickleball volunteer this spring, Stephen has filled any need the league needed whether covering other levels at City Finals or simply answering the many questions our teams had for him.

Stephen will undoubtedly continue to help the league grow through his knowledge and leadership.”

Taylor has played ALTA tennis since the 1980s and knows how far the league’s reputation has traveled. “ALTA has provided an identity to our city that extends well beyond our local borders,” he said. “I have traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and whenever I talk to someone who loves tennis it seems they have always heard of Atlanta’s ALTA tennis league. It is well recognized and respected for its quality of play as well as the size of the league.

ALTA has given our community a place to play, meet new people and develop lifelong friendships, not to mention the ability to brag about our coveted bag tags.”

Suzanne Anderson Thursday Women’s League Hometown: Hamilton, Ohio “Suzanne has been an integral part of the ALTA community since 2003, volunteering her time and talents in a variety of roles,” according to Thursday Women’s League Vice President Siobhan Schaeffer. “She is known for her reliability and willingness to

help, often stepping up to assist wherever she’s needed, embodying the true spirit of volunteerism that defines ALTA. Her dedication, professionalism, and positive attitude have made a lasting impact on countless players and coordinators alike. Suzanne’s dependability and commitment have earned her the respect and appreciation of fellow players and coordinators alike.”

After moving to the Atlanta area in 1998, Anderson fell in love with playing tennis.

“I started by captaining my team and becoming a score keeper when ALTA had them back in the day,” she said. “My coordinator told me that I should be a coordinator, so I signed up and became one in 2003. ALTA brings the community together in shared experiences, meeting people from all over the city, and enjoying great activities.”

Parker Wilson Men’s League Hometown: Temple, Georgia “Parker Wilson, though a relatively new coordinator for the men’s league, is the clear choice for the Men’s League Coordinator of the Year,” Men’s League Vice President Drew Meyer said. “His impact on the organization has been nothing short of massive. His passion for tennis and dedication to improving the ALTA experience for our members is not only noticed but deeply appreciated. Parker’s proactive approach and enthusiasm have reinvigorated the league, creating a more engaging and enjoyable environment for everyone. He consistently goes above and beyond, demonstrating a remarkable commitment that extends far beyond his few seasons of service. We are incredibly fortunate to have him as part of our team, and this award is a welldeserved recognition of his outstanding contributions.”

“ALTA gives us a great reason to get out of the house on the weekends and enjoy time with friends,” said Wilson. “It keeps us active while also introducing us to people we might have never met otherwise.

Some of my closest friendships were formed through ALTA, and the memories we’ve made together go far beyond the court. It’s amazing how ALTA can bring neighborhoods together and make a big city feel a little smaller!”

David Rowe, President Hometown: Chicago, Illinois Career: Home remodeling How did you get involved with ALTA as a player, then as a volunteer? I started playing ALTA when I moved to Alpharetta.

Beer and donuts on a Saturday morning — how could I say no? I was frustrated with a rule (wish I could remember the rule), and I said to a friend that I wish I could be involved with changing a rule.

He said that the only way to do that was get involved and become a VP and get on the rules committee. I started with Senior Men’s a year later.

What’s one thing you still want to accomplish in your lifetime?

Retirement If you could make the ultimate sandwich, what would be on it? Pastrami, provolone cheese, onions, and yellow mustard.

What would you title your autobiography? “Why Did I Do That?”

Hometown: Dayton, Ohio Career: Life Insurance and Tennis Court Construction How did you get involved with ALTA as a player, then as a volunteer? Moved to Atlanta in 2005; my wife’s coworker was on a team, and she invited her to play. I would go and watch and then joined a men’s team in the spring of 2006. I volunteered as captain the next season. About 10 years later, a tennis friend of mine asked me to join ALTA as a coordinator. I did and the rest, as they say, is history!

What’s the best way to start the day? Coffee and donuts If you could “un-invent” something, what would it be and why? The Tesla Cybertruck; it’s just ugly.

What’s the strangest thing in your fridge/freezer? Skyline Chili 3-way What’s your ideal way to spend your birthday? Playing tennis or pickleball, good food, and with friends and family.

Cameron Turner, Treasurer Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia Career: Executive Director of the Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter How did you get involved with ALTA as a player, then as a volunteer? I started playing ALTA when I was eight years old when we moved into a new neighborhood in East Cobb. I have been playing ALTA ever since … 39 years!

What’s the best way to start the day? A large pot of French pressed Texas Pecan coffee If you could “un-invent” something, what would it be and why? I would un-invent video games so the world would be more present and go outside more.

What three words would you use to describe yourself? Loyal, kind, accountable.

What’s your favorite thing about your favorite holiday? I love the Christmas season because of time I get to spend with family, beautiful lights and decoration, Andy Williams on the record player, and “The Shop Around the Corner” on the television.

CAMERON

Hometown: Toronto, Ontario Career: Industrial Engineer (ramblin’ wreck), Domestic Engineer, School Volunteer Extraordinaire, Small Business Owner/Partner, Retiree How did you get involved with ALTA as a player, then as a volunteer? It all started a little over 20 years ago. I ran into my son’s fifth grade teacher leaving the school with her tennis gear in tow and asked if she had a “big match” that evening. She told me she was on her way to coach practice for a team of 40+-year-old women. She joked that they were all new to tennis when she had started coaching them, and that she always “had to have a beer” after those early coaching sessions. I joined a few months later. We started a Sunday ALTA team in Spring 2006. We needed volunteers to be captain and co-captain, so my friend said “I’ll do it! C’mon Karen!” And so started my ALTA volunteerism.

If you could “un-invent” something, what would it be and why?

WMDs! ‘Nuff said.

What’s the strangest thing in your fridge/freezer? Just checked. There is a candlestick holder in my freezer. I had to ask my husband about it. Apparently, the remnants of a candle are stuck in the bottom and putting it the freezer makes removing the wax “easy.”

What three words would you use to describe yourself?

Optimistic, perfectionist, nice.

How did you get involved with ALTA as a player, then as a volunteer? In 1998, a new tennis team formed in my neighborhood, and I thought it would be a great way to meet some of the women. I captained teams and have been actively involved as a player ever since. I became a volunteer with ALTA when my middle son started in tennis. I had become friends with one of my opponents, who happened to be the Junior VP. We started talking, and before I knew it, I had a new “job!”

What’s the best way to start the day? The best way to start the day is with a cup of coffee, my Connections game (and getting the answer in four!), and a few quiet minutes to get organized for the day ahead.

What’s the strangest thing in your fridge/freezer? The random collection of “mystery” labeled containers — leftovers my husband fully intended to eat and then forgot about. It’s like archaeological layers of good intentions.

What three words would you use to describe yourself?

Organized, dependable, and friendly.

What’s your ideal way to spend your birthday? A relaxed day with family and friends, good food, a great dessert, and maybe a little time on the tennis courts if the weather cooperates.

How did you get involved with ALTA as a player, then as a volunteer? I started to play tennis in my subdivision. I met many new neighbors who became good friends. I decided to volunteer with ALTA because of how much tennis meant to me, and I wanted to be part of the organization that offered those experiences.

What’s one thing you still want to accomplish in your lifetime?

I would like to be able to visit every MLB stadium!

What’s the best way to start the day? Sharing the first coffee of the day with a special someone, be it the love of your life, a special friend, or a dear sibling.

If you could make the ultimate sandwich, what would be on it? It would be on a crispy-crust roll, would have mayo and honey mustard, and would include ham, provolone cheese, capicola, lettuce and tomato. Not fancy or unusual!

What’s your favorite thing about your favorite holiday? My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving because it is focused on family and friends and food. I love cooking and baking and having everyone gather and just enjoying the togetherness.

Rusty Jones, Senior Day Leagues VP Hometown: Knoxville, Tennessee

Hometown: Salt Lake City, Utah Career: HealthTeck Product Management Executive How did you get involved with ALTA as a player, then as a volunteer? My involvement with ALTA began after serving as a captain for many seasons. My parents raised me with strong values about giving back to my community, and once I was fully invested as a player, ALTA became the clear place for me to contribute. I was eventually asked to volunteer because of my passion for tennis and the ALTA community.

What’s one thing you still want to accomplish in your lifetime?

I want to hike the entire Appalachian Trail, not necessarily all at once, but in segments over several years. It’s the ultimate disconnect from the digital world I inhabit daily. I’ve already done a few week-long backcountry hiking/camping trips, and the physical and mental reset that comes with being fully off the grid is incredibly rewarding.

What’s the strangest thing in your fridge/freezer? The strangest thing in my freezer is several stacks of unused wooden honeycomb frames. Since I’m a beekeeper, I freeze these frames, which hold the honeycomb, before introducing them to the hive.

It’s a standard and necessary practice because freezing them is the best way to safely kill any potential wax moth eggs or pests that might ruin the future comb and harm the bee colony.

What’s one thing you still want to accomplish in your lifetime?

How did you get involved with ALTA as a player, then as a volunteer? Growing up in middle Georgia, I played football and never picked up a tennis racquet. My wife and her parents introduced me to tennis, which I, at first, didn’t think was a real sport! Ha! After we moved into our first house, we formed an ALTA team with our new neighbors, and the game was on. Years later, after being a team captain and a scorekeeper, I applied to be a coordinator and was accepted.

I asked if there was a party going on and one of them mentioned they were on an ALTA tennis team. They convinced me to join, and it was so much fun.

• Be respectful — shake hands before and after your match.

• Minimize distractions — silence your phone and stay focused while your opponent is serving or hitting.

50

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026

• Never throw your racquet.

• Make honest line calls and give opponents the benefit of the doubt.

• Use clear hand signals for in or out calls.

• Applaud good shots to foster a positive atmosphere.

By adhering to these etiquette guidelines, players contribute to a positive and respectful environment on the tennis court, ensuring everyone enjoys the experience. If you notice a player or a whole team going above and beyond to make your match experience a great one, consider nominating them for a Sportsmanship Award. You can do this on the ALTA website.

LTA is about competitive tennis as well as food, fun, friendship, hospitality, and sportsmanship. I would like to address strategies for maintaining a positive approach to play and minimizing behaviors that could conflict with our objectives and competitive spirit on match days. We play matches for fun, to better our tennis skills, to stay in some sort of shape, and to be the best we can be on that particular day, with the intention of making it to the playoffs and then to the City Finals. We must not lose sight of the original ALTA intentions of “Where Atlanta Comes to Play!”

Keep these key principles in mind for every ALTA match:

aptains, now is the perfect time to reach out to your team and confirm who is returning. Make sure everyone’s ALTA membership is current — it will make registration smooth and stress-free.

When submitting your roster, take advantage of the “Request for Review” option if your team’s dynamics have changed and past performance does not reflect your current level. Be specific. Explain your reasoning so the coordinators can understand your situation clearly.

Review your roster carefully before submitting. Each season, coordinators hear from captains who accidentally left someone off their list, only to discover that player’s level does not align with the team. Depending on the circumstances, late additions may not be possible — and that’s no fun for anyone.

Once the schedules are out When the schedule is released, check your team’s availability right away. ALTA provides excellent online tools to help with scheduling and tracking player movement — use them to avoid lineup mistakes.

If your team will be impacted by spring break plans, reach out early to opposing captains to arrange playing lines or matches ahead of time. From experience, flexibility and cooperation go a long way — good tennis karma is real, and favors are often returned!

Match day guidelines Start time: Matches begin at 9:30 a.m. sharp for lines 1 and 2 — that is when the first point should be served. Players

should arrive early enough to set up and warm up by 9:15 a.m. Use Waze, Google Maps, or another app to plan for traffic — your line 5 players will thank you!

Scorecards: Scorecards must be exchanged before play begins. As stated in ALTA Rule III, B, both captains (or acting captains) must be present and exchange written lineups simultaneously before the start of the dual meet. Failure to do so may result in forfeited points.

Forgot your scorecard? No problem! Write your lineup on a piece of paper and exchange that. Scores for each line must be recorded, and both captains should sign and promptly enter or approve results on the ALTA website. Keep your scorecard until all results are verified in case of disputes.

Reporting scores: Captains, please enter scores as soon as possible after your match. It is easier while details are fresh, and it helps coordinators by reducing follow-ups for missing results.

A note from the Thursday VP As I begin my first season as the Thursday Women’s League Vice President, I want to emphasize one simple thing: kindness matters. We are lucky to enjoy tennis during the week — let’s make the most of it! I hope you build new friendships, share plenty of laughs, and truly enjoy being part of this league.

There is nothing better than a beautiful spring day on the court — well, except maybe one without pollen! Have a fantastic season!

As you should be aware, ALTA’s rules cover many of the situations that might be found courtside, and those that are not covered by ALTA revert to the USTA Friend at Court or USTA’s rules. Here are a couple of examples from USTA that apply in ALTA matches: 13. BALL TOUCHES A PERMANENT FIXTURE (Friend at Court, page 8): If the ball in play touches a permanent fixture after it has hit the correct court, the player who hit the ball wins the point. If the ball in play touches a permanent fixture before it hits the ground, the player who hit the ball loses the point.

USTA Comment 13.1: What happens if a ball hits an object attached to the net or post (such as a scoring device) or the top of the net outside the singles stick and then lands in the court? The player who hit the ball loses the point because it hit a permanent fixture before landing in the court. Friend at Court 13.

29. CONTINUOUS PLAY (Friend at Court, page 15): As a principle, play should be continuous, from the time the match starts (when the first service of the match is put in play) until the match finishes. a. Between points, a maximum 52

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026

of twenty-five (25) seconds is allowed. When the players change ends at the end of a game, a maximum of ninety (90) seconds is allowed. However, after the first game of each set and during a tie-break game, play shall be continuous, and the players shall change ends without a rest.

USTA Comment 29.1: The 25-second time limit does not apply if a player has to chase a stray ball.

USTA Comment 29.2: The 90-second changeover limit and 120-second set break limit does not apply when a Quad wheelchair player needs extra time to re-strap a racquet. See USTA Regulation III.G.2. At the end of each set, there shall be a set break of a maximum of one hundred and twenty (120) seconds. The maximum time starts from the moment that one-point finishes until the first service is struck for the next point.

There are many such situations that that could come up during any match. You may wish to print or download a copy of the USTA Friend at Court, The Code, and ALTA Rules and keep them in your tennis bag for quick reference.

Remember, only the four players on the courts can resolve a dispute during their match, whether it is the correct score, or a rule issue.

If you have questions about rules at any time, even during your match, please contact your coordinator. We are here to help you enjoy your tennis experience!

New Rules And Tips To Get Juniors Ready For Spring

BY KIM FREEMAN, JUNIOR LEAGUES VICE PRESIDENT

IV. Dual Meets C. All 10U and 12U matches will be 8-game pro sets. A match is won when one team wins eight games by a margin of at least two games. If the score reaches 7-all, two games are played. If a team wins both of these games, the win is scored 9-7. If the score reaches 8-all, a 7-point tie-break is played and the win is scored 9-8.

D. All 15U and 18U matches will be 2 adult sets. The 7-point tiebreak will be in effect anytime the score reaches six all in any set. In the case of split sets, a 10-point match tiebreak will be played to determine the match.

VIII. Scoring For 10U and 12U the total number of games will be counted to determine the points awarded during a dual meet. A bonus point is awarded for each match won, except for a match won by a score of 9-7 or one in which a tie-break is played and the win is scored 9-8. Thus, the maximum number of points possible to earn in any dual meet is 36.

For 15U and 18U, the total number of games will be counted to determine the points awarded during a dual meet. The set games will be totaled for each team and one point will be awarded to the team who wins the 10-point tiebreak when the teams split sets. Thus, the maximum number of points possible to earn in any dual meet is 56.

Our new rule for allowing players to play twice in one match was introduced last fall, and we can proudly announce we were successful in eliminating defaults and our feedback has been extremely positive!

New rules, New Year, so let’s talk about new gear!

If you have been around the courts, you’ve seen things like this: kids swinging oversized racquets, gripping worn handles, or playing with strings that look older than they are. Then, there 54

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026

are the running shoes trying (and failing) to keep up with all the side-to-side movement.

It might seem minor, but equipment matters. It’s mostly about choosing gear that fits and keeping it in good condition.

The right racquet makes all the difference Racquets come in countless sizes, but a junior racquet should match your child’s height and strength. A racquet that is too heavy or long makes natural swings difficult, and a grip that is too big can strain hands and wrists. A quick stop at a tennis shop, or a chat with your child’s coach, can help you find the right size fast. Many shops even let kids test a few before buying.

Fresh grips = happy hands If the grip is worn or slippery, replace it. Over grips are cheap, easy to wrap, and instantly make the racquet feel better. A fresh grip improves comfort, prevents blisters, and helps kids avoid squeezing too tightly.

String and restring Strings lose tension over time, even if they don’t break. A simple guideline: restring as many times per year as your child plays per week. You do not need premium strings, as most clubs offer affordable junior options.

Shoes: More than a style choice Running shoes are not designed for tennis. Without lateral support, kids are more prone to rolled ankles and sore knees.

Tennis shoes offer sturdy sides and durable soles meant for quick stops and slides. Look for sales or lightly used pairs, or many budget brands make solid junior tennis shoes too.

Why it really matters When kids use gear that fits and feels good, they are more confident, progress faster, and have more fun — and fun keeps them coming back. Proper racquets, fresh grips, good strings, and supportive shoes are small details that make a big difference.

Before your next trip to the courts, take a quick look at your child’s gear. A few simple tweaks can help them play better, stay safer, and fall in love with tennis for life.

Photos by Laura Barnard

LTA is not just a tennis league; it is a powerful, successful, non-profit institution with over 60,000 members. Our organization stands as a vibrant foundation for community life in Atlanta, sustained by a rich legacy and the passion of our membership. As we rapidly approach our centennial anniversary, we face a pivotal moment: ensuring ALTA continues to evolve so it remains the premier tennis and pickleball experience for both our lifelong members and the next generation of players.

ALTA’s future viability depends not on basic survival, but on strategic modernization to manage our tremendous size and scope. To continue serving our established membership while actively attracting the next generation, we must incorporate cutting-edge skills and contemporary perspectives into our volunteer leadership.

As a large non-profit, ALTA runs complex business operations that manage thousands of matches and serve our membership every season. To achieve continued excellence and to drive growth, we need specialized talent. We are looking to our current members — particularly younger professionals with critical, modern skills — to step forward and lend their expertise to this worthy cause.

The rewards of volunteering at an organization you are truly passionate about are substantial. Beyond the satisfaction of supporting the sport and community you love, becoming an ALTA leader offers unique personal and professional benefits: Mastery of the league: As a coordinator, you are directly responsible for facilitating league play, assisting members and team leaders, and ensuring consistent interpretation and application of our rules. You become an expert, a true guardian of the game’s spirit and structure, by mediating disputes and approving match results. This is the best way to truly understand how the entire organization runs.

Shaping the future: We need younger voices to guide ALTA into its next century. By getting involved, you can help steer the league’s evolution in areas like technology, outreach, and business operations. This is your chance to inject modern ideas into the organization while respecting the traditions that built it.

Fulfilling a purpose: ALTA is more than competition; it is about connection. By helping to secure the organization’s future, you are actively preserving and strengthening the social fabric of the Atlanta tennis and pickleball community for tens of thousands of members.

The Front Door: Becoming an ALTA Coordinator The most direct and rewarding path to getting started with ALTA as a volunteer is to become a coordinator. This is the front door to everything and helping run our various leagues is the best way to learn how our organization truly operates.

Coordinators are essential spokespersons for ALTA, whose every action reflects on the entire organization.

We are seeking individuals whose passion for ALTA’s operational success is matched by a desire to apply their skills beyond the tennis court, in areas such as optimizing complex administrative systems, crafting a compelling digital presence, or improving our member experience via the website.

If you possess these skills as a part of your background and experience, we encourage you even more to get involved.

Volunteering as a coordinator is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the highest level of league management. If you have a deep interest in ensuring the integrity and success of ALTA’s leagues, we urge you to reach out directly to learn more about becoming an ALTA coordinator. Please reach out to me at mensvp@altatennis.org if you are interested.

ALTA is a community built for you. Now, we are asking you to help build its future. Your involvement is the key to our next century of success.

GOOD QUESTION

ILLEGAL COACHING During a recent doubles match, our opponents were speaking in a different language between points. We felt this was a form of coaching since we couldn’t understand them. Is this a violation?

Drew Meyer, Men’s League Vice President This is a situation that can feel very uncomfortable on the court, and you are right to question it. According to ALTA Adult Rules, Rule IV.H., while a pair on the court may speak to each other in any language they choose, any communication from teammates, coaches, or fans should be understood by all, or it could be considered coaching. The goal is to avoid audible or visible advice that could interfere with the match. If you feel your opponent is being coached, the best course of action is to stop play and have the captains from both teams discuss the situation together to resolve it. It is each captain’s responsibility to control his or her spectators during match play.

Brrr…

My Call Maybe?

If the temperature is above 32 degrees at match time, and the players get started, can they suspend play if the temperature drops below 32 degrees before they finish?

I know that players must make contact with the ball at or on their side of the net and making contact with the ball on your opponents’ side of the net is a rules violation.

But whose responsibility is it to make this call? Can I call this on my opponent if I think they made contact on my side of the net?

According to the ALTA Member Handbook (page 38, number 3) – Determining if conditions are suitable for play: •

•

•

“Any one of four players may choose to delay or postpone a match for extreme temperatures, but all four players must be present.

“Even though temperatures are less than 32 degrees or greater than 95 degrees, players may choose to play. All four players must agree, and once the match has been started, it cannot be interrupted or postponed because of extreme cold or heat.

“If any player decides he/she cannot continue, that player must retire and the point will be awarded to the opponents.”

In other words: If you started the match when it was 32 degrees, congratulations — you are now committed to finishing it, so layer up and keep moving!

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026

Mike Clance, Senior Leagues Vice President Good sportsmanship is key to keeping tennis fun and enjoyable for all involved. As such, unofficiated matches follow an honor system that relies on all players making fair, honest calls.

Specifically, the USTA Friend at Court in Part 2 – The Code, item 19, states: “A player must concede the point when:

A ball in play touches that player.

•

That player or that player’s racquet touches the net or opponent’s court while a ball is in play.

•

That player hits a ball before it crosses the net.

•

That player deliberately carries or double hits a ball; or

•

A ball bounces more than once in that player’s court.”

Additionally, item 6 in the same part states “A player should always give the opponent the benefit of any doubt.”

Good sportsmanship and integrity in making calls on the court go a long way in keeping tennis fun and enjoyable for all involved!

JENSEN ZONE Luke Jensen

Learning To Play Better Under Pressure

H

appy New Year Jensen Zoners! Coach Luke here hoping that your 2026 season is your very best on and off the court. Speaking of playing, I have a lifetime rivalry with my brother, Murphy. Kicking his butt on the court is my favorite part of tennis. He’s a 6’4” lefty with an explosive game. Competing against him has always challenged me. He was always consistent and scrappy, but I am two-and-a-half years older, so physically I had an edge until his late teens when he hit his final growth spurt.

Every time we stepped on the court it was a battle, and it was the same for our twin sisters, Rebecca and Rachel.

Looking back, I am convinced that those battles prepared all of us for any pressure situation. Defeating Murphy always made my day, and losing to him ruined my day! The high-pressure sessions resulted with all of us competing at the Grand Slam tournaments. I always felt my greatest achievement was not winning the 1993 French Open Doubles, but rather when all four of us competed in the 1996 Australian Open. Even today, when I step on court with Murphy it instantly goes to focused competition.

Do you have an opponent that pushes you and your ability? I am lucky to travel the world and see the highest levels of pros, college, junior players, and adult leaguers. One

thing that stands out is how so many players practice with people that make the session comfortable. As a coach, when I run practice sessions, I look for matchups where the players do not get along. I find that players grow faster being challenged in this way. If the practice sessions are average, the tournament results will be average.

To achieve at the Grand Slam level, it’s all about the parents. Parents instill the belief and pay an enormous price for decades for their kids to climb the tennis mountain.

Our parents emphasized competition, and I remember clearly being told over and over to call up players who had beat me in previous tournaments to set up practice set sessions and learn how to defeat them. They also emphasized match play against any level to improve. If the opponent was weaker, I used weaker strategies in my game to sharpen them. If I played someone my level, I would play one set any way I wanted and then the next set with a goal of forcing myself to think or play at a disadvantage. For example, slice everything or use at least two drop shots per game.

Then when playing someone better, I was encouraged to play the first set any way I wanted and if I lost that set, I was told to come up with a plan to lose another way.

Improve your practices by finding players that challenge you …Don’t avoid the challenge; lean into it.

My parents did not have a tennis background, but they were athletes from other sports and they were coaches at the high school level. They understood athletic development and the importance of strategy in practice. There was always purpose and positive discipline. The four of us were so lucky to have life coaches that had big-picture vision while we brought the competitive intensity.

What does all this mean for you? Improve your practices by finding players that challenge you. If you are a doubles team that wants to maximize your team’s potential, find the teams that have beaten you, set up a practice set session and find ways to beat them. Don’t avoid the challenge; lean into it. You will be amazed how this approach to your game development will change how you play better under pressure.

IMPROVING YOUR GA ME

2 Up Wall

BY SCOTT GATES, USPTA, MRT, DIRECTOR OF RACQUET SPORTS, CHATTAHOOCHEE COUNTRY CLUB

H

ave you ever tried playing a different style of doubles than the traditional “1 up 1 back” formation? How many of you consistently play doubles points in that formation? How about trying a different formation, the “2 up wall?”

The idea for the two-player up wall is to offer a different tactic than one player up (the finisher) and one player back (the setup player). This strategy enables each player to be responsible for one half of the court at all times rather than have someone responsible for the front of the court and the other for the back of the court. One of the most common phrases I hear is, “We couldn’t get the ball away from the net player.” But what if you had to get it away from two net players?

What makes this formation successful is playing a style of quick-pressure tennis by hitting as few shots as possible and then getting to the net position. One very

Does playing deeper in the service box allow for more balls to come low? Yes. However, if you teach players how to handle these shots, this position becomes far less intimidating.

ARA TEACHING PROFESSIONAL SPOTLIGHT: SCOTT GATES USPTA, MRT, Director of Racquet Sports, Chattahoochee Country Club Submitted by the American Racket Sports Association.

Why are you a member of the ARA? This association provides great networking opportunities. The gatherings allow all of us to brainstorm and share ideas and practices that better ourselves and facilities.

What inspired you to be a tennis coach? Teaching others a lifelong sport that was taught to me.

What is your favorite memory of being a tennis coach in Atlanta?

Watching people you work with on a day-to-day basis improve to a point where they see growth in their game.

How has tennis impacted your life? Tennis was a vehicle to get me opportunities in college and then continued into my career which led to me meeting my wife. Now we have three daughters who are all getting into tennis.

important aspect of this is knowing where the desired net position or “home base” is. I define it as one full step inside the service line that is directly in between the center service line and the nearest doubles sideline. The resistance that most players will initially state is that they are too far back and shots will come at their feet. Does playing deeper in the service box allow for more balls to come low? Yes. However, if you teach players how to handle these shots, this position becomes far less intimidating.

Another challenge I hear is a player will tell me that they are too far off the net.

Commonly, better tennis players have the ability to move volleys forward and not down so they do not need to be right up on the net. Most coaches teach players to hit their groundstrokes deeper in the court. So, where does a deep groundstroke pass a volleyer in this “home base” position? Usually at their shoulders or torso, therefore a comfortable height from which to hit a volley.

This is a great option to minimize how many lobs opponents can hit against a doubles team in this formation. Rather than always “switch” and cross sides, which really leaves a player hitting a comfortable return shot that has just been hit over their partners head, teach your players to turn and take 2-3 side steps back to strike a good overhead. I always find it ironic when players like their overhead play so close to the net; it allows lobs to get over them so easily.

Often, a great strategy is returning serve and then coming in right away. The serve has to be inside the service line so you know that you are already receiving a “short ball.” The plan should be to hit that return effectively and then follow it in to home base. Once you are in that position, each player takes the shots that are hit to their respective side. After hitting the shot, it is important to recover back to home base.

What is your proudest achievement? Winning the Woody Hoblitzell Tennis Director of the Year felt very validating for me.

What is one fun fact about you that most people would not know? I’m a low-key foodie.

Who is your favorite professional tennis player and why? Lleyton Hewitt because of his tenacity.

What advice would you give young coaches in the industry? Learn from professionals who have been doing this for a while who are respected in the industry.

What do you do when you’re not coaching tennis? I’m either spending time with my family or playing golf.

HEALTH A ND FITNESS

The Secret to Playing Better Tennis at Any Age

BY DR. MARK KOVACS, PHD, FACSM, CSCS, CEO, KOVACS INSTITUTE (KOVACSINSTITUTE.COM)

O

ne of the most overlooked aspects of tennis fitness (especially in the adult competitive community) is the ability to perform repeat sprints. We often think of tennis as an endurance sport, yet when you break it down scientifically, the sport is built on a series of short, explosive bursts lasting 3-8 seconds, followed by brief recovery periods. This pattern happens dozens, even hundreds, of times in a match.

For adult players, improving repeat sprint ability may be the single most important physical upgrade you can make if you want to move better, hit with more authority, and feel fresher deep into sets. The good news?

You don’t need to overhaul your fitness routine. A few, simple adjustments can make a significant difference.

Why repeat sprint ability matters Most adult players tell me the same thing: “I’m fine early in the match, but I slow down in long rallies and late in sets.” This isn’t usually a conditioning problem in the traditional sense; it’s a recovery problem. Your body must accelerate, decelerate, change direction, and recover repeatedly in a short window.

When your recovery systems lag, footwork becomes sloppy, decision-making slows, and stroke mechanics deteriorate.

Repeat sprint training strengthens the heart, improves lactate clearance, enhances ATP-PC system recovery, and trains the nervous system to fire more efficiently. In simple terms: you move quicker, longer, and with less effort.

A simple on-court drill you can add today Here’s an easy protocol I use with both recreational players and elite pros: The 10-Second Burst / 20-Second Recover Drill.

• Sprint or perform tennis-specific footwork at full intensity 62

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026

for 10 seconds.

• Recover for 20 seconds.

• Repeat for 5-10 rounds, depending on your level.

This mirrors the point structure of actual match play and trains your body to recover while still under mild stress, exactly what happens between points.

For a more tennis-specific variation, perform: • Shuffle-to-forehand corner • Crossover retreat • Sprint to the net • Backpedal to the baseline • Repeat Ten seconds of this type of movement is plenty. The goal is quality, not quantity.

Why this helps adult players more than endless running Many adults think endurance running will improve their tennis fitness. While general aerobic training has value, it doesn’t target the “explosive-deceleration-recovery cycle” that defines tennis movement. Repeat sprint training directly enhances: • First-step quickness • Lateral movement • Recovery between shots • Footwork precision late in matches • Overall match endurance Most importantly, it’s more joint-friendly and time-efficient, which is ideal for busy adult players.

How often should you do it?

Start with two sessions per week, each lasting only 6-10 minutes total. The goal is consistency, not overexertion. Within 2-4 weeks, most players notice: • Better court coverage • Less fatigue in long matches • Increased confidence chasing balls they used to give up on Final thought Tennis isn’t about who is the fastest; it’s about who is the fastest … repeatedly. If you want to elevate your game without spending hours off the court, focus on improving your repeat sprint ability. A small investment in this area pays off in a big way, no matter your age or level.

NUTRITION

Warm Up In Cold Weather With Liquid Sport Nutrition

BY PAGE LOVE, MS, RD, CSSD, LD, PTR, AND ELIZABETH PETRUCCI, DIETETIC INTERN

Herbal teas for match play?

Cold weather blunts thirst, which means many players under-hydrate just when they need fluids the most.

This winter ALTA season, lean into warm, functional drinks that make sipping easy, keep you comfortable on court, and deliver the electrolytes, carbohydrates, and protein your body needs to perform and recover.

Aim for a caffeine-free option close to match time and on court. Pack a thermos, rotate from warm to cooler fluids as you heat up, and let smart winter sipping keep you hydrated, fueled, and ready to win. You can add an electrolyte packet to an herbal tea as well. But you also can consider warmed sports drinks as another good option during the beginning of a match.

If you are looking for a beverage with electrolytes, aim for at least 100 mg of sodium per cup or eight ounces. Remember to consume 16–24 ounces of hydrating fluids in the two hours leading up to training or competition. During activity, sip approximately four ounces of fluid at each changeover in tennis — closer to one cup between games in pickleball. Plan to consume 16–32 ounces of fluids per hour. Bring both your warm beverage of choice and some room-temperature water. It is recommended that you move towards a room temperature or cooler beverage as your body warms up during play.

64

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026

Green tea for hydration If you prefer a light lift, warm green tea offers gentle caffeine along with potent antioxidants.

Intense exercise boosts oxygen consumption and reactive oxygen species (ROS), increasing oxidative stress. Research suggests that oxygen consumption, production of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and metabolism are 20 times higher during intense exercise than at rest. Overproduction of ROS can lead to damage in the body’s tissues and DNA. Green tea’s catechins and polyphenols help counter that stress while you hydrate. Enjoy it pre-match or early in play if you tolerate small amounts of caffeine; switch to caffeine-free options as you approach first serve or if you’re sensitive to caffeine. And there are additional health benefits of drinking green tea, including “decreases the symptoms of metabolic syndrome by controlling blood glucose, [and] lowering cholesterol” (Nobari 2021).

Bone broth for both electrolytes and preand post-match recovery protein Bone broth is a winter all-star for racquet sports. Its naturally higher sodium content helps replace what you lose in sweat, and it supplies electrolytes like magnesium and potassium plus minerals such as phosphorus and calcium. Many broths deliver 10–20 grams of quickly absorbed protein per serving — perfect for recovery. Sip a smaller portion pre-match for warmth, a sodium “primer,” and aim for about 10 grams of protein.

Post-match, aim for a serving that provides 15–20 grams of protein within 30 minutes to kick-start repair. Additionally, post-match bone broth can be a great, quick beverage choice as cooling down and standing outside in cold weather after match play. It meets all the criteria for recovery: hydration, electrolytes, and protein. Continue rehydrating with at least 16 ounces of fluid right after play, and over the next few hours replace about 150 percent of your fluid losses to fully rehydrate.

Typical Amount 400–900 mg/cup 200–400 mg/cup (veg soups) 20–40 mg 10–30g depending on noodles/rice

*Based on an average soup Johannsen, N. M., Lind, E., King, D. S., & Sharp, R. L. 2009

Soups: Great choices for both pre- and post-match nutrition

Don’t overlook soup — an ideal preand post-match choice that checks every box: provide hydration, electrolytes and pending the ingredients, can provide great sources of complex carbs and lean proteins as well as antioxidants. Because soups are mostly water, they support hydration; their sodium helps expand plasma volume, enhances fluid absorption, and stimulates thirst, making it easier to drink enough. In research, soup before exercise improved thermoregulation and water retention versus plain water (Johannsen et al., 2009). Many soups also deliver fast, easy-to-digest carbs from noodles, rice, or potatoes and lean protein for muscle support.

Research shows that pre-exercise carbohydrate intake 1–4 hours before improves performance in endurance and moderate-intensity exercise, and light soups prevent GI distress that heavier meals can cause. A classic chicken noodle soup is a proven winner thanks to its salty broth and carbohydrate-rich pasta. For variety, pick any salty-broth soup with a carbohydrate base and a lean protein.

After play, go heartier — more protein and starch — to meet recovery needs while continuing to rehydrate. Refer to our soup worksheet for combination ideas to both pre- and post-fuel.

So, here is to enjoying soup this winter and enjoying a sport nutrition performance benefit to boot!

In your travel mug or thermos, steep the ginger in hot water for 3 to 5 minutes. Add citrus juice, honey, and spice. Stir well until honey dissolves.

Toss in mint if desired, seal the lid, and shake lightly (bonus arm warm-up).

Sip courtside between games — it will warm your hands and your motivation.

PICKLEBALL LEAGUE NEWS

The Big Swing

BY HENRY VINCENT, PICKLEBALL LEAGUE VICE PRESIDENT

W

hen ALTA first introduced its pickleball pilot league, even the most optimistic volunteers expected a modest start, a handful of teams, a few curious players, maybe a slow roll into future growth. But what happened instead was a wave. A movement. A phenomenon that has reshaped racquet sports across metro Atlanta.

Today, pickleball is not just part of ALTA; it is one of the most energetic, communal, and fastest-growing recreational sports leagues. And its story is just beginning.

A PILOT THAT BECAME A POWERHOUSE The pickleball league launched quietly, but the response was anything but. Within the first season, thousands of players signed up. Neighborhood courts that once sat empty on weekday evenings were suddenly alive with the signature “pop-poppop” of paddle and ball.

It was clear from the start that pickleball had a heartbeat of its own — people were not just playing, they were connecting.

Captains quickly stepped into leadership roles, forming teams from neighborhoods, clubs, and local rec centers. Because ALTA empowered members to self-organize, pickleball grew organically from community outward, not from the top down.

It worked. The numbers proved it. And the culture sealed it.

A LEAGUE FOR EVERYONE One of the secrets behind ALTA’s pickleball success is its inclusivity. Teams feature men, women, new players, racquet sports veterans, and athletes across generations. You’ll see a 25-year-old who grew up playing tennis paired with a 62-yearold who just discovered the game last year. They’re competitive, laughing, and planning to meet again next week.

Requests for more divisions, senior-only leagues, gender-specific seasons, and daytime divisions have grown louder.

ALTA is listening. Season by season, we are evaluating what is possible while protecting what makes the league special — its sense of unity.

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026

THE FUTURE OF ALTA PICKLEBALL ALTA’s leadership sees the horizon clearly: New league formats — gender-specific leagues are coming this summer! The women’s league will play on Wednesday mornings at 9 a.m., and the men’s league will play on Friday mornings at 9 a.m. The summer mixed doubles pickleball league will play Monday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and will feature two lines of men’s doubles and two lines of women’s doubles.

Registration for those leagues will begin April 30.

Improved leveling — With player skill improving rapidly, ALTA is studying better ways to assess and place teams — especially to ensure C-level teams play competitive matches every week.

Continued boundary growth — As new facilities and courts are built across metro Atlanta, ALTA stands ready to extend its reach further.

NEW SUMMER PICKLEBALL LEAGUES • Mixed League (FORMAT CHANGE) — Monday 6:30 p.m. Two lines of men’s doubles and two lines of women’s doubles.

• Women’s League — Wednesday 9:00 a.m. Three lines of women’s doubles.

• Men’s League — Friday 9:00 a.m. Three lines of men’s doubles.

• Summer registration runs from April 30 – May 17.

PICKLEBALL GOOD QUESTION

In A Pickle?

BY HENRY VINCENT, PICKLEBALL LEAGUE VICE PRESIDENT

Why can’t I step into the kitchen even if I don’t hit the ball?

Rule: You may step into the Non-Volley Zone (the kitchen) anytime — as long as you don’t volley (hit the ball out of the air). (See Section 9 of the USAPB Official Rulebook for complete NVZ rules.)

Confusion: Many players think you can’t enter the kitchen at all. Answer: You can stand, walk, dance, or picnic in the kitchen — totally legal. What’s illegal is: Hitting the ball before it bounces while you’re in the kitchen, or falling into the kitchen after volleying, even by momentum or clothing or paddle.

Is it really a fault if my hat, paddle, or even sweatband falls into the kitchen?

Rule: Any object connected to you that falls into the kitchen during or after a volley = fault.

Answer: Yes, it’s real. If you volley and anything you’re wearing or holding lands in the kitchen, the rally is over (Rule 9.B, USPBA Official Rulebook). Examples: Dropped paddle? Fault. Hat flies in? Fault. Sweatband plops? Fault. If you didn’t volley, it’s not a fault.

reach over the net to hit it (as long as you don’t touch the net).

If you let it go, the point goes to your opponent.

Is it legal to hit the ball around the net instead of over it?

Rule: Yes. You can legally hit the ball around the post — no need to clear the height of the net (Rule 11.M, USPBA Official Rulebook). Answer: An ATP (Around-The-Post shot) is one of the coolest legal moves. Conditions: The ball must travel outside the net posts. You must not touch the net. The ball can land anywhere on the opponent’s court. It does not need to go above the height of the net.

Can the ball hit me or my clothing and still be in play?

Rule: If the ball touches you or anything you’re wearing or holding during a rally before it bounces, it’s a fault on you (Rule 7.H, USPBA Official Rulebook).

Answer: Ball hits your shirt? Fault.

Ball grazes your shorts? Fault. Ball nicks your hair? Also fault. The ball is instantly dead once it contacts a player.

Is it legal for the ball to bounce on my side and then go back over to my opponent’s side without me touching it?

Rule: Yes! A backward-bouncing ball is 100-percent legal and catches many beginners off guard (Rule 11.I.1, USPBA Official Rulebook). Answer: If your opponent hits a ball with enough spin or wind that it bounces on your side and returns over the net by itself, you must JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2026 NETNEWS
