PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Celebrating 50 Years of ALTA

For the latest news, information and events.

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021

extended to all of these is one of the unique things about ALTA, and to me, reinforces the value of bringing diverse groups of people together. Like many of our volunteers, I began by taking on the role of captain, team manager, and then scorekeeper. Over the last 18 years, I have served as a coordinator in the Junior, Thursday, Sunday and Mixed Doubles Leagues, as well as VP of the Junior and Thursday Leagues. These experiences, along with the mentorship of those who served before me, have given me the confidence to believe that I am prepared to take on the role of ALTA president for 2021. I would not feel this confidence without the care 2020 ALTA President Sandy Depa has taken to include me in so many of the difficult decisions she was required to make as she responded to the challenges of tennis during a pandemic. I know this wasn’t the presidency that Sandy expected, but I learned so much as I watched her navigate all of the unknowns with such a positive attitude and sound decision making. It is my hope that 2021 will have fewer surprises. Sandy has skillfully ushered us through how to conduct league play during a pandemic, and now we can return to our goals of growing our membership and expanding into areas to include more tennis enthusiasts. I look forward to celebrating 50 years of ALTA League play in 2021, and with the continued support of our members, volunteers and office staff, I fully expect the next 50 years to be just as successful.

o much can happen in 50 years. In 1971, ALTA had about 50 members primarily dedicated to promoting tournaments and supporting junior tennis. It was becoming more difficult to bring the topquality tournaments to Atlanta, so they decided they needed to increase both their funds and volunteer pool. They did so by introducing ALTA League play. The first season was the spring of 1971, and about 900 members joined to play in the Men’s and Thursday Women’s Leagues. Very quickly, other leagues were added, and today we have over 50,000 members and numerous league offerings for both adult and junior players, as well as a thriving ALTA Foundation. As soon as league play was introduced, it became clear that Atlantans were itching to do more than just watch tennis; they wanted to play. I think the idea of team competition and the social connection it fosters was part of the appeal. That was certainly true for me. Like many of you, I first began playing tennis as an adult in the ALTA leagues. As a new stayat-home mom, I was looking for a way to meet and connect with other adults. And I found it. I joined a team and have been fortunate to remain with the same group of women for more than 20 years. I could never have guessed that the people I would meet as a result of my decision to play ALTA would become and remain some of my closest friends today. I suspect this is true for many of our members and is a big part of why they have continued to play in the various leagues over the last 50 years. As an ALTA participant, I’ve had the opportunity to play at private clubs, neighborhoods, and public parks all over the area (and I do mean ALL over). The hospitality that has been

Great Turnout for AYTEF Golf Tournament

In late October, the Atlanta Youth Tennis & Education Foundation (AYTEF) hosted the 2nd Annual AYTEF Regions Bank Golf Tournament at Dunwoody Country Club. The 128 golfers in attendance, the generous volunteers, and the incredibly supportive community sponsors such as Regions Bank, Cobb County Toyota, Porsche, Universal Tennis Academy, and DLA Piper made this fundraiser one of AYTEF’s most successful events to date. AYTEF would like to thank all sponsors, participants, and volunteers who helped make this year’s tournament a success. The proceeds go toward helping under-resourced youth in the metro Atlanta area through tennis and education enrichment programs. AYTEF Executive Director Torrey Hawkins said, “It was just awesome to see so many people from so many backgrounds come out to support the kids.” The money raised also supports AYTEF’s other community outreach programs, such as the Learn & Earn Club NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021

and Tennis in the Park. AYTEF Learn & Earn Club was created to support our underserved communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Educational materials and athletic equipment are delivered free of cost to youth for at-home development. Each child has to simply complete the activities, send back specific assignments, and earn their next free Learn & Earn shipment. AYTEF Tennis in the Park is a free beginner tennis clinic for kids in elementary school, kindergarten to 5th grade, held at various sites and parks throughout metro Atlanta. Hawkins says this year has been tough on so many but despite the challenges, all that were associated with the event were happy to be there and eager to help. “Special thanks to ALTA’s Laura Barnard for helping us capture so many memories,” said Hawkins. To learn more about AYTEF’s programming and impact on under-served communities, or to donate to this nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization, please visit aytef.org.

Northside Hospital’s TABC Event Goes Virtual in 2020 In October, tennis players from all over Atlanta “showed up” virtually to help support the Northside Breast Care Program to the tune of over $80,000! The Tennis Against Breast Cancer (TABC) festivities included weekly newsletters featuring articles, survivor stories, recipes, and video tips from the tennis pros at Atlanta Athletic Club, Windward Lake Club, and Polo Golf & Country Club. The celebration culminated with an exciting live event on October 31 that featured Emcee Heather Catlin from WSB-TV, Dr. Lynn Baxter with Northside Radiology, and Northside’s Survivorship Coordinator Kymberly Duncan. Northside’s Chief of Sports Medicine, Dr. Vonda Wright, and Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Stephanie Hsu also had a fun segment on the tennis courts.

Meet ALTA’s 2020 Coordinators of the Year One of the key highlights of the ALTA annual meeting (see p. 32 for highlights) is the recognition of the major workforce behind the organization. Each season, league coordinators donate their time to make sure everything is scheduled and arranged for league play. ALTA recognizes those who go above and beyond by naming them our Coordinators of the Year. The 2020 winners are: Holly Blake Thursday Women’s League Holly Blake has played tennis since she was young. Since joining ALTA, she has participated on rosters for Thursday Women, Sunday Women, Senior Women, Mixed Doubles and Senior Mixed Doubles, and she volunteers as captain for her Senior Women, Mixed Doubles, and Sunday Women teams. And she still finds time to serve as a Thursday League coordinator. She started her ALTA volunteering as a division scorekeeper and has been a Thursday coordinator since 2008. “I volunteer with ALTA to stay involved with tennis. And I love coordinating for the Thursday League,” she said. In nominating Blake as Coordinator of the Year, VP Keri Beck said: “She brings an in-depth knowledge and experience to all facets of being a coordinator. She never fails to give sound, measured advice in a caring and calm manner. Her attention to detail is evident in all her communications and in her relationships with her captains. They can rely on her to give them guidance with compassion and clarity, but within the boundaries of the ALTA rules.” Beth Graham Mixed Doubles Beth Graham is such a stellar example of why people take the plunge to become a coordinator. Her passion for tennis is so genuine. “She is always looking to learn and expand her knowledge of the rules and is readily available to share her knowledge with others, said Cameron Turner, Mixed Doubles VP. As a coordinator for Mixed Doubles and an overall coordinator for the Thursday Women’s League, Graham knows the inner workings of ALTA, and she makes 14

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021

a positive contribution to the league season after season. “This is apparent in the abundance of compliments that Graham receives from her captains and her fellow coordinators,” said Turner. “She has high levels of customer service and communication, and she is a joy to work with as a volunteer.” Donna Harms Senior Day Donna Harms has been a coordinator in the Senior Day League since 2012. She started out in the Senior League in summer of 2002 and Sunday Women’s League in 2003. She brings experience and an in-depth knowledge of rules to her position as Senior Day coordinator. Harms also communicates effectively with her captains. Senior Day VP Kim Dlugolenski says this year, in addition to the normal questions and requests from her captains, Harms had to deal with teams with COVID issues and possible default situations. “She handled those situations timely and appropriately,” said Dlugolenski. She adds that one of Harms’ captains sent a complimentary email saying, “You are the BEST coordinator I have ever had. So fortunate to have you as a coordinator.” Harms is an asset to ALTA and is so deserving of this year’s award for Senior Day Coordinator of the Year Jane Keller Junior Leagues We are thrilled to be recognizing Jane Keller as our 2020 Junior Leagues Coordinator of the Year. Keller was well versed in junior play prior to becoming a coordinator in 2009, as she served as a team manager for her daughter’s team for five seasons. Junior Leagues VP Rita Maloof says Keller is organized, han-

dles most issues herself, sends correspondence quickly, and is loved by her peers and teams. “Keller makes required attendance a priority with few exceptions and has always been an asset to ALTA and a fantastic volunteer,” said Maloof. She added that ALTA can always count on Keller to be the first to go above and beyond and exceed our expectations. “She doesn’t brag on her endeavors, so I will,” said Maloof. In her spare time, Keller volunteered at the schools her daughters attended, CHOA rocking babies, the Community Assistance Center in Sandy Springs, and drove senior citizens to appointments prior to COVID-19. If that's not impressive enough, her magnum opus was 10 years unselfishly volunteering with Flashes of Hope, where she organized the creation of memory photo books for families who had children with terminal illness. Cindy Saunders Senior Leagues Cindy Saunders is in her 18th year as an ALTA coordinator. She currently coordinates Senior Women and Sunday Woman. Previously, she has coordinated Mixed Doubles. Saunders has also played Sunday Women, Thursday Women, Mixed Doubles, Senior Mixed, and Senior Women. Now, she can add Coordinator of the Year to all those bag tags and plates earned over the years. Saunders also has at least one plate from every league where she has been eligible to play. She started volunteering as a captain and as a scorekeeper. Cindy’s husband was coordinating at this time and she decided to give it a try. “This was when cards were mailed to the coordinators after every match and the Saunders’ mailbox would get 120+ score cards every week, said Roger Dennington, Senior Leagues VP. Their postal de-

livery woman soon learned the details of the system and would often knock on the door with a bundle of cards. Saunders has seen a lot of changes over the years and was so glad to get back to playing and coordinating seniors this summer. With the City Finals being played at the participants’ facilities, she actually facilitated two championships in one weekend; Senior Women on Saturday and Senior Men on Sunday. In her many years coordinating, there have been countless interesting stories and challenges. “This season was definitely the most gratifying for her as she was able to witness firsthand so many ALTA members working together in a positive fashion to make the season happen,” said Dennington. Henry Vincent Men’s League Henry Vincent, who is the B1 (5-8) coordinator, has a positive attitude, is very thorough, and does a really good job with engaging his captains as well as his overall coordinator. Vincent has been a Men’s coordinator since 2017. Men’s VP Lamar Scott says the captains are complimentary of Vincent’s volunteer effort. “He’s always very responsive, is very dedicated to ALTA, and we are extreme-

ly proud of his customer-centric approach this year,” said Scott. Rebecca Williams Sunday Women’s League Sunday Women’s League VP Chequetta Allen says Rebecca Williams has always been a conscientious coordinator who has not only been timely in all her assigned duties, but also very thorough. “She always goes above and beyond what is expected. Most recently, she served as a “big sister” to help a new coordinator get acclimated to ALTA and the ever-changing circumstances coordinators encounter each week. “She was perfect in this role, as her mentorship helped our new coordinator feel at ease in her position, and she was a valuable resource to this new volunteer,” said Allen. Williams is a great communicator who also gives her captains a sense of ease. Her kindness, accessibility, as well as her complete knowledge and understanding of the rules are truly appreciated by captains who many times need a quick and accurate answer on the court. “Williams is a valued volunteer who quietly goes about her job as a coordinator with no expectation of fanfare or awards, but she is truly deserving of being honored with the award for Sunday Women’s League Coordinator of the Year,” said Allen.

TECH TALK Lineup Checker Validation The ALTA Lineup Checker can be used for any single match or every match of any given season. Simply fill in all player positions, and use the “Check Lineup” button to verify the lineup. When all scorecard information for previously scheduled matches is in the system and approved, your lineup can be successfully validated.

The winter season is starting soon. With potential weather issues that will delay match play and scorecard entry, it’s important to know that lineups may always be published to your teams, but ALTA may not be able to validate player movement and “sandbagging.” In the case of rain (weather) delayed match scorecards that are NOT coordinator approved, the system will give the following warning when trying to validate a future match lineup: For this lineup, player movement and sandbagging cannot be validated without coordinator approval of previous matches. Use the Tracking Sheet button on the Lineup Checker to see that all previous match information is there to avoid getting that warning. Ask yourself: are my previous scorecards submitted in the system? Have the other captains approved/disputed the scorecards? Can I see all match results on my Tracking Sheet telling me that the coordinator has approved them? For example: Wk5 match cannot be checked for movement and sandbagging until Wk4 results show on the Tracking Sheet.

ATP Tour Inks Deal with Tennis Channel Tennis Channel and ATP Media, the broadcast arm of the ATP as the governing body of men’s professional tennis, have concluded a multiyear television and digital rights deal that will make the network the exclusive U.S. television home of the majority of ATP Tour events. As part of an agreement that begins in 2021, the channel will be the sole American broadcaster of the high-profile ATP Masters 1000 events. This means that for the first time, Tennis Channel viewers will watch all of these competitions live from opening day through the trophy presentations. The network has had live coverage at all of these events in the past, but now will show all matches at ATP Masters 1000 events played in North America. In total, the agreement gives Tennis Channel exclusive, live television rights to all nine ATP Masters 1000 events, all 13 ATP 500s, and 16 of the ATP 250 tournaments, as well as the season-ending Nitto ATP Finals. Through other rights agreements, the network also covers most of the other ATP 250 tournaments, the rising-star Next Gen ATP Finals and ATP Cup national team competition that was inaugurated in January 2020. Under the new agreement, Tennis Channel will base its on-air talent at an on-site tournament desk at each of the ATP Masters 1000 events for the first time. “Tennis Channel and ATP Media have worked tirelessly for nearly two decades to expand the daily TV, streaming, and on-demand coverage of this prolific sport across all popular platforms, and in doing so are making tennis competitive once

again with other major sports in the U.S.,” said Ken Solomon, president, Tennis Channel. “Our combined work with parent Sinclair Broadcast Group has made Tennis Channel America’s fastest growing network for the past two years, allowing millions of returning and new fans to enjoy the ATP Tour’s scale and quality, which are unmatched in all of professional sports.” Tennis Channel has a similar rights package with the WTA, the governing body of women’s professional tennis. With the new ATP rights agreement’s start in 2021, the network will be the live television and digital home to almost all professional tennis events.

Or against Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg, two of the greatest to ever play the game? Roy Barth knows. What do you do after you retire at age 29? Would you trust your next job to a resort still under construction? Roy Barth did. And he grew its tennis program to be the best in the world. In his new book, “Point of Impact,” Barth suggests that tennis lessons are life lessons. He channeled the lessons he learned on the court into tools for managing the challenges he faced off the court. “Point of Impact” is Barth’s personal story woven though the history of tennis and a series of life lessons. Part One is The Game of Tennis, and Part Two is The Business of Tennis, but the lessons are the same. Tennis enthusiasts — from the casual spectator, to the game’s facilitators, to the professional-level player — will enjoy this narrative and identify with Roy’s insights, his obstacles, and his commitment to the game.

The Southern Tennis Foundation and USTA Southern announced recently that Mike McNulty and Susan Sloane have been inducted into the 2021 class of the Southern Tennis Hall of Fame. McNulty, of New Orleans, has been a dedicated volunteer for four levels of the USTA, starting with the founding of the Lake Area Community Tennis Association and leading USTA Louisiana and USTA Southern as president. Following a term as USTA first vice president, McNulty has been elected USTA Chairman of the Board and President for the 2021-2022 term. Sloane, of Lexington, Kentucky, was a high school champion in the sixth grade and a five-time USTA junior champion. While playing on the WTA tour, she rose to No. 19 in the world and won the 1988 WTA Virginia Slims of Nashville singles title. She has been inducted into the Kentucky Tennis and Kentucky Athletic halls of fame. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lucy Garvin Southern Tennis Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will not be held in January 2021. McNulty and Sloane are scheduled to be honored in the 2022 ceremony and banquet. The ceremony is traditionally conducted during the USTA Southern Annual Meeting in Atlanta. Established in 1977 with the induction of Bitsy Grant and Ham Richardson, the Hall of Fame has grown to 112 members. Other notable members include Stan Smith, Chanda Rubin, Roscoe Tanner, Gordon A. Smith, Linda Tuero, Gardner Mulloy, and Lucy Garvin. The Southern Tennis Foundation’s website contains information on the hall, inductees, and its charitable mission. The hall is located in the USTA Southern office in Peachtree Corners, Georgia.

Celebrating Black Tennis Pioneers New digital exhibit explores Black tennis history in America The International Tennis Hall of Fame has launched a new digital museum exhibit that offers a comprehensive look at the history of Black tennis in America. “Breaking The Barriers: The ATA and Black Tennis Pioneers” features a multimedia timeline spanning more than 120 years of Black tennis history, as well as a concurrent timeline of African American history overall. The exhibit chronicles the struggles and evolution of Black tennis, and the lives and careers of Black tennis champions from the early 1900s through today. Breaking The Barriers is part of a multi-faceted initiative by the International Tennis Hall of Fame to educate fans and shine a spotlight on Black tennis history. Additional programs in development include a future exhibit looking at Black tennis history on a global scale, virtual programs with guest speakers in February 2021, and an Arthur Ashe virtual reality experience in the museum based on the 1968 US Open. Through dynamic imagery and video interviews, Breaking The Barriers explores what was happening in Black tennis during five distinct time periods of African American history: Creative Survival (1874-1910); Entrée (1910-1938); Reform (19381955); Participation (1955-1965); and Liberation (1965-Present).

TRUIST ATLANTA OPEN 2021: THANK YOU AND LOOKING AHEAD

Happy New Year to my fellow ALTA members! As the calendar turns to 2021, there are many reasons to be excited about tennis in the new year. The Tennis Industry Association latest survey shows adult tennis racquet shipments increased over 43% during the third quarter of 2020 and over 40% for youth shipments. That combined with the popularity of virtual tennis lessons is an optimistic sign for something we knew all along, that tennis is a family and lifelong sport. Closer to home, it is great to hear that ALTA mixed doubles league participation is showing double digit growth for this winter season! This is an indication and positive momentum that we can safely adapt to our surroundings, and tennis players will find a way to maintain their health, happiness and love for our great sport. All of this positive momentum going into 2021 also means that more than ever, we are committed to delivering a world-class Truist Atlanta Open in a fun, safe and healthy environment. The 2021 Truist Atlanta Open, scheduled for July 24 - August 1, may seem far off, but we are already working hard to put on our most important and best event to date! ALTA members should know that this includes conversations with players, so we can bring the best field possible to Atlanta and Atlantic Station. We’ve put a lot of creativity into our new and improved stadium layout and that includes better viewing on all match courts, along with more seating options. It also means great food and drink. We are always excited to showcase Atlanta’s top restaurants and chefs

2021 ALTA Executive Committee BY EMMY POWELL, NET NEWS EDITOR

he true backbone of the ALTA organization is the extraordinary effort by hundreds of volunteers. As we kick off our year-long 50th anniversary celebration of ALTA league play, we recognize those who devote countless hours to organizing and scheduling the ALTA leagues. We will continue to navigate through the uncertainties of COVID and do everything possible to make sure your experience on the tennis courts is safe and positive. It all starts with the captains, coordinators, overall coordinators, and leads to the league vice presidents and top officers who oversee the vast network of volunteers.

We hope you enjoy learning these fascinating tidbits about this year’s Executive Committee.

ALTA has always provided a fun, competitive, social environment, and it has helped me to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Volunteering with ALTA has allowed me to connect to the community at large and work with other passionate tennis enthusiasts in doing our part to “grow” the game for generations to come.

ALTA history: 1988 or 1989. Started this round of volunteering in 2015. If you could have a “dream dinner” with three other people, living or dead, who would they be?

A trip to New Zealand, and another river cruise. What was your favorite birthday gift ever? On my 16th birthday, my grandmother gave me a ring that consisted of a beautiful Australian black opal that came back in my uncle’s belongings after he went MIA in WWII; it was surrounded by diamonds from my great grandmother’s wedding ring. Why did you become an ALTA volunteer? In 1991, Dixon played tennis at Dekalb Tennis Center with a group of “older” men that played there weekly.

Mitch Falkin, Men’s League Vice President Place of Birth: Long Island, New York Career: Residential real estate broker ALTA history: Long-time player, captain, coordinator, overall coordinator, VP If you could have a “dream dinner” with three other people, living or dead, who would they be? It would actually be with four people: my dad (now deceased) and his three brothers, whom I never got to know. They grew up in Brooklyn, but before I was born, my uncles all moved to Seattle, and we only visited with them a few times. Then I left home, went on with my life, and never got to know them. Apparently, they were quite the troublemakers! It would be neat to see my dad and his brothers reminisce about their old days. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to go to the University of Vermont and become a marine biologist. I loved being outdoors, hiking in the woods, and looking at plants and animals. That didn’t happen, but perhaps that explains my interest in birds and plants to this day! If you won the lottery, what’s the first thing you would do? Nothing different; life is good! What is the best vacation you have ever had? First ski trip to Lake Tahoe with my family. When I got off the ski lift at the top for the first time and saw that beautiful, deep-blue lake sprawled across the landscape, I knew it was a special place. But I’d pass on the cross-country skiing activity we tried; that didn’t go over well with my two small daughters! What was your favorite birthday gift ever? A gift I gave: a surprise trip to the US Open for my wife to visit a friend of hers who moved to New York. What is your secret talent? I can sit down and play piano by ear. Why did you become an ALTA volunteer? I have been playing ALTA for over 30 years and always thought it was a great idea — to have a team from your neighborhood play teams from other neighborhoods. When one of my longtime friends and playing partners, Terry Godbold, asked if I would be interested in being a coordinator, I didn’t hesitate at all. It just sounded “right” to me to get involved in the organization. I’ve enjoyed it ever since.

What is the best vacation you have ever had? Club Med Family ski vacation in the Italian Alps. What was your favorite birthday gift ever? My mom always had wind chimes at her home. When she died, my dad bought me and my four sisters a set of silver wind chimes. Over time, they rusted, and I put them away in the garage (couldn’t bear to throw them out since my dad had also passed by then). One birthday, my son had refinished them (unbeknownst to me) and wrapped them up as a gift. It was quite an emotional gift. Now I can’t put them out because I don’t want them to rust. What is your secret talent? Kindness, it usually fixes everything. Why did you become an ALTA volunteer? Because Peggy Brown, a coordinator of my son’s teams, was relentless at asking me.

After one semester and a disaster in the biology lab, I found my home in the business school to study finance. If you won the lottery, what’s the first thing you would do? As an accountant by trade, I tend to be fiscally conservative. I would figure out how to best accept the award with the least possible tax effects. I would pay off all of my debt, create a trust for each of my children and donate 10 percent to charity. The remainder of the funds I would invest to buy a dream home somewhere on the beach accompanied by a convertible to replace the van I currently drive. If time and money weren’t obstacles, what would be your dream trip destination? I would spend an entire year traveling the world. I would focus on the areas that I have not traveled to: India, China, Indonesia, Russia, Croatia, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.

McLeod Media shoots first-ever virtual ALTA Annual Meeting.

ne of the long-standing and memorable traditions at ALTA is the annual meeting in November. But just like nearly everything in 2020, this year’s meeting was unlike anything ALTA had done before. We produced a top-quality video and then held a live streaming event to showcase where the organization’s top leaders gather to recognize the vast network of volunteers and to elect officers for 2021. Along with the unprecedented annual meeting, this past year ALTA also had to continuously handle and respond to issues as they related to COVID-19 and league play. ALTA Board Chairman Robert Fitzgerald said the number-one issue ALTA experienced this year was COVID-19, as the spring season was cancelled due to the pandemic. “This is the first time we had cancelled a season, and my hope is that we never have to again,” he said. He thanked his fellow board members, the ALTA Executive Committee, the volunteers, and the office staff. “In particular, I want to thank the members for rising to the challenge of closing down the spring season and then opening back up in the summer.” Despite the uncertain circumstances of 2020, the chairman said a major goal for ALTA this past year was improving members’ experiences, which included key advancements with our website and the team management system. “The line-

up checker has made life much easier for our members and our coordinators,” Fitzgerald said. “Our intent is always to have members win or lose on the tennis court and not because someone put together an ‘illegal’ line-up.” Fitzgerald complimented the incredible job of the office staff to continue the business of ALTA. “I want to thank Diane O’Brien, Renee Bowen, Joan Applebaum, Emmy Powell, and Leslie Gersack for adapting to this environment while still getting their work done,” he said. One of the highlights of the year, before COVID forced event delays or cancellations, was watching Rafael Nadal and Grigor Dimitrov become two of our newest (honorary) ALTA members. Financially, Fitzgerald said ALTA was in good shape and on sound footing. 2020 ALTA Treasurer John Lowell, who also will serve in that role in 2021, presented this year’s financial report. He said ALTA’s budget, which is approximately 1.5 million dollars, is sound. “That money is used almost in its entirety on providing our members with an outstanding tennis experience, says Lowell, adding that the

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021 NETNEWS

board has approved a budget for 2021 that is conservative and prudent. “It serves our membership well and helps to ensure that ALTA will continue to be the best tennis experience in metro Atlanta, as well as the best tennis value in 2021 and for many years to come,” he said. Following the treasurer’s report, Fitzgerald reiterated the unprecedented and unanticipated year of 2020. “We were extremely fortunate in so many ways to have Sandy Depa in charge, as she had to navigate through completely unchartered waters and find a way to keep our members engaged while making sure safety was a priority,” he said. Depa had to endure a year as president like no other, and she was definitely the right person at the right time. “I don’t think I will ever forget that afternoon of March 12 and the thought that went into the final decision to shut down ALTA tennis for the spring season due to COVID-19,” said Depa. One positive result from the challenges of 2020 was the increase in people playing tennis. “Afterall, if you can’t go anywhere, it seems that the neighborhood courts were now an outlet for being pent up in our homes,” said Depa. Depa also paid special tribute to the immense support that was received from “the wonderful office staff, the volunteers, other VPs, the board, the coordinators, and her husband and family.” She said there was no way that she would have made it through this year if she did not have the support from others. 34

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021

That support includes so many people, and while Depa could not single out any one person who helped her the most, she did thank “two wonderful friends” who supported her throughout the year. Depa handed out the first Presidential Award to 2021 ALTA President Debbie Gaster. “Thank goodness for you and your logical thought process, and your honesty. I always knew that I would get an honest response regardless. I truly appreciate and thank you for time and all your help this past year,” said Depa. The second Presidential Award was given to former Senior Leagues VP Barbara Ingram, who takes over as the Media VP in 2021. “She always gives with her heart 200 percent,” said Depa. “Thank you so much for always being there this year, but not only this year, all the past years as well.” Turning to the future of ALTA and 2021, the organization plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary. 2021 President Debbie Gaster discussed the first season of ALTA league play, which was in the spring of 1971, when about 900 members joined to play in the Men’s and Thursday Women’s Leagues. “Very quickly, other leagues were added, and today we have the largest local tennis membership in Atlanta, and numerous league offerings for both adult and junior players, as well

as a thriving ALTA Foundation,” she said. Gaster has been fortunate to remain with the same group of women for more than 20 years. “I could never have guessed that the people I would meet as a result of my decision to play ALTA would become and remain some of my closest friends today.” Gaster has served countless hours in nearly every role with ALTA. This has given her the confidence to take on her new role as president. It is that same confidence she gained by working closely this year with Depa, whom she said included her in so many of the difficult decisions as she responded to the challenges of 2020. Gaster is optimistic about celebrating 50 years of ALTA league play in 2021 and says she fully expects the next 50 years to be just as successful.

outhwest Airlines has a popular TV ad campaign that asks us “Wanna get away?” In those commercials, people want to escape embarrassing situations, but here at the end of 2020 and the start of 2021, most of us want to get away for other, obvious reasons. Aside from hitting the courts for our ALTA matches, most of us rarely left the house over the past year, leading to a great deal of pent up energy and so-called cabin fever. Of course, we’ve done so for the benefit of everyone around us, but there’s no shame in wanting to escape to a different setting for a little while. Thus, we present to you the following resorts, which are all just a short journey from Atlanta and offer some of the best tennis getaways in the country. Additionally, your welfare is a high priority for each of these locations, so visitors can rest assured that they are in safe, clean environments.

Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort Hilton Head Island South Carolina PalmettoDunes.com/ tennispickleball 877.567.6513 Tennis lovers near and far are able to book their ultimate weekend getaway at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head Island to enjoy tennis court time, lessons, clinics, and more daily at the award-winning Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center. Along with its easyto-access proximity, Hilton Head Island remains evergreen all year-round, making the 2,000-acre resort an ideal regional destination for tennis players. Tennis amenities Palmetto Dunes offers 19 Har-Tru tennis courts, four of which are

lighted for night play, as well as a well-stocked, 1,800-square-foot tennis pro shop — Hilton Head Island’s largest. The Palmetto Dunes Tennis and Pickleball Center has been named the island’s top tennis and pickleball resort. Off-court activities Palmetto Dunes not only boasts 24 lighted pickleball courts, but also one of the most comprehensive instructional programs on the East Coast. The center serves an impressive number of resort visitors and also counts about 300 local members in its pickleball club. League play, lessons, and clinics are available for all ages and ability levels. Palmetto Dunes recently served as host site for the inaugural Hilton Head Pickleball

Open, a four-day national tournament that featured a competitive professional division and attracted 500 participants. Racquet Sports Industry Magazine named the Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center as the 2020, “Pickleball Resort of the Year,” while Sarah Ansboury, the resort’s director of pickleball instruction, was tapped as the “PPR Member of the Year.” Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort has long been a favorite vacation destination because it consistently provides one of the richest vacation experiences in the country, with more award-winning activities than any other resort in the Southeast. Hilton Head’s generally mild climate during winter months makes the Lowcountry ideal to enjoy one of Palmetto

Dunes’ three awardwinning, championship golf courses. Visitors also can bike along the beach and miles of paved paths, kayak the 11-mile inland lagoon system, or explore Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina for a variety of entertainment and outdoor activities.

The Tennis & Pickleball Center is practicing social distancing within its pro shop, and have installed Plexiglas between the guests and employees. Staff wipes down demo racquet grips going both in and out. Additionally, the resort’s teaching professionals are spreading out the guests on their courts, providing the best available spacing to be as careful as possible.

This idyllic hybrid is part small town, part private gated escape — and it’s anything but touristy. You can fish on Lake Petit as bald eagles fly overhead; you can float an afternoon away

on a pontoon boat; you can explore 25 miles of hiking trails or play 27 holes of championship golf. While Big Canoe allows visitors and residents alike to feel like they can commune with nature, it has a range of modern conveniences, dining options, and vacation rental opportunities. And Big Canoe is indeed a community in the true sense of the word: multigenerational; offering a homey atmosphere; and providing an extraordinary, friendly, and enriching lifestyle.

Off-court activities The hiking trails, which range from broad, paved paths to forest

footpaths, meander among trees, streams and meadows, and are perhaps Big Canoe’s most popular attraction. The area also is home to 27 holes of golf on three courses that harmoniously integrate with Big Canoe’s forested surroundings. The Marina allows visitors to rent pontoon or jon boats, fishing poles, and enjoy most every watersport. In addition to a gym, indoor tennis courts, an indoor pool and sauna, the Wellness Center offers courses in Tai Chi, yoga, Pilates, and other activities. And

Start Your Weekend Off the ALTA Way!

MEN

hat’s the best thing about springtime in Atlanta? No, it’s not the azaleas blooming, or that yellow pollen in the air, or even the sound of leaf blowers; it’s Men’s ALTA Saturday mornings! The anticipation begins on Friday night, when you realize you’d better not party too much because you have a “big match” in the morning. At home that evening, after everyone else goes to sleep, you lay out your “weapons” for the next morning’s battle: two or three freshly strung racquets, those new sneakers that will allow you to cut quicker on the court, a new insulated water bottle, GPS directions to the opponent’s courts already in your phone, a coordinated tennis outfit (Say what? This is the Men’s League, so you can and want to look like a neanderthal … no matchy-matchy for you!). In the morning, you wake up and cannot be distracted from your overriding mission: get to the courts on time and kick some tennis butt! OK, when you get to the courts, you may find an opponent making some kind of a big show about re-gripping their racquet right before the match, or one may need to win the warmup, or one might go to the restroom after warmup but before starting the match, or you might get ripped off on a line call here or there. But what the heck, it’s Saturday ALTA, and it’s all part of the game! We all know that once you get on the court, you may win or lose, you may play great or you may not, your team may not even take one line, but how bad can life be? You’re not a tennis pro. You’re playing ALTA tennis with your buddies on a gorgeous spring morning against some other guys who think they can beat y’all, but you just showed them they can’t! Registration for the spring season starts Friday, Jan. 1, 2021,

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021

and the roster registration deadline is Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021, so spread the word now, and help grow our Men’s League by introducing your friends and new neighbors to this uniquely ALTA tradition! There’s always room for more on your team, or maybe you would like to start a new team, so you can play your old team and have it out with them. NOW is the time to start planning your spring ALTA tennis strategy so you can have a fantastic spring season. One recent advancement we have made here is an upgrade of the ALTA website to incorporate a lineup checker for our captains. This has really helped to reduce penalties and point deductions due to player movement violations, and it has also allowed for better communications from captains to teammates when publishing the lineup. We encourage all captains to use this as part of their weekly routine. We are working hard on our mapping functions to ensure that divisions are compiled with teams from the same geographic areas to minimize the driving distance to away matches. We also have been hard at work making sure that our league takes precautions to minimize risk and during this COVID-19 pandemic. As you probably know, we played all of our fall league City Finals at the home team’s courts and not at any central location, and we eliminated the exchange of food at the matches; we will continue to do everything we can to keep our league in compliance with CDC-recommended safety guidelines. Make sure you sign up for the upcoming spring Men’s League by Jan. 20, 2021 to get on a roster and get in the game. Good luck to every player and every team, and we look forward to seeing you out on the courts!

Jumpstart Your Spring Season in the ALTA Junior Leagues BY TAMMI COPELLI, JUNIOR LEAGUES VICE PRESIDENT

Photos by Laura Barnard

elcome to 2021 and the Junior Leagues. Despite COVID-19 and having to cancel the 2020 spring season, we were able to complete the entire fall season of the Junior Leagues, and now we are more than encouraged and excited to get our 2021 spring season up and going. We are fortunate that tennis is conducive to social distancing, which makes it the perfect sport coming out of this pandemic. With so many winter school sports being canceled, ALTA Junior tennis is a perfect alternative. Please know confidently that we will continue to follow ALTA Junior Leagues COVID-19 guidelines/recommendations for our spring 2021 season. The safety of our juniors is of utmost importance. If you are an adult reading this and have some junior age children, and they are not playing on a tennis team yet, I highly recommend you start a team for them. It’s what I did for my kids many years ago. It is one of the best things you can do for your neighborhood kids. ALTA has 10, 12, 15, and 18-and-under age groups, which include both girls’ and boys’ teams. So, if kids are anywhere from seven to 18 years old, they can play on a junior team. We do not have mixed teams as of yet in the Junior Leagues, but we are always discussing new things and looking for ways to improve the Junior experience. Hopefully by now, you are thinking of a few kids who might like to play tennis. All you need to do is create and enter a new roster. If you have any questions on how to do this, no problem. Go to the ALTA website (www.altatennis.org), look under FAQ’s, and you will find directions on exactly what to do. ALTA

will start accepting new rosters through Feb. 5, 2021. Play will begin Saturday, Mar. 6, 2021. For those managing teams, remember we now have a 15U level which replaced 14U. That gave us a more defined split between middle school and high school players. There is no more penalty for moving your players from 1S to 2D and vice versa from 2D to 1S, giving you more flexibility in your line ups. Age eligibility moved to the front of the season so players can now continue playing with their friends for the duration of the school season. These are a small representation of the exciting changes we made in 2020. My space here is limited, but I hope my thoughts will inspire you to engage/promote tennis with the young ladies and gentlemen in your life. If your neighborhood does not have a Junior team, please consider starting one of your own. After all, you only need eight players to form a roster, and you can never underestimate how far-reaching the benefits of playing tennis can be for those children. Google the benefits of kids who play tennis, and you’ll see what I mean. Lastly, I wanted to let you know that we could never have a Junior League without supportive Junior League parents. Being one once, I understand and appreciate all that you do. You are what makes the Junior Leagues possible. The first thing always on our agenda is to thank all the parents when we get to see them at City Finals or other matches. I’d like to welcome all of the returning Junior teams and we are especially excited to welcome our new ALTA Junior players this spring season. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021 NETNEWS

Fun Senior Moments Set for Spring

laying tennis on a Senior Day Men’s team or a Senior Day Women’s team is a wonderful opportunity for spring tennis fun. There are Senior Day teams at levels all the way from AA1 to C3. This is an enjoyable ALTA league that plays in the spring and fall. The women play at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays, and the men play at 10 a.m. on Wednesdays. The Senior Day Leagues only play three lines of doubles for each match. So, all you need are eight players to form a roster. Since there are only three lines, matches typically are over by 1 p.m., so the rest of the day is open. ALTA members may join a Senior Day team any time during the year of their 55th birthday.

NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021

The Senior Day League is a good way to meet new friends and to play within your own age group. The matches are fun and competitive. As the Senior Day Leagues continue to grow, that should mean less travel for matches. Registration for the spring season begins on Friday, Jan. 1, 2021 and ends on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021. So, help spread the word and help grow our Senior Day Leagues. Introduce your friends to your team, or start a new team since this is ALTA’s only adult league where you only need eight players to form a team. The only requirement is to be 55 years young or to be turning 55 in 2021.

Our ALTA Village of Volunteers BY KERI BECK, THURSDAY WOMEN LEAGUE VICE PRESIDENT

Photos by Laura Barnard

know you have heard the saying, “It takes a village.” This is true when it comes to ALTA. It takes a village of volunteers to organize, manage, and facilitate each league within the ALTA organization. The Thursday Women’s League starts with about 800 volunteer captains. These ladies spend many hours putting a team together, registering the team, organizing lessons, and creating lineups that consider each player’s schedule. They then have the responsibility of communicating with their opponents and also their teammates, prior to match day, to make sure everyone knows where they are supposed to be and when they are supposed to be there. The captaining job was made even more challenging last fall with the arrival of COVID, adding yet another variable these ladies had to maneuver. The next level of volunteers are the league coordinators. The Thursday Women’s League has 17 flight coordinators. Each coordinator is responsible for all of the teams in their flight. Many of these flights have seven or eight divisions, so they are responsible for up to 64 captains and are in contact with them on a weekly basis. These ladies are the first point of contact for the captains, and they are the best! They answer all their captains’ questions about line ups, player movement, default times, and any other question that you can throw at them. They may not always have the answer at their fingertips, but they know where to get that information. They certainly kept extra-busy last fall working through team and facility issues due to COVID. Their tireless efforts to keep us all on track last season really demonstrated their

willingness to go the extra mile for this organization! We also have four overall coordinators. These people, along with the league vice president, are responsible for the leveling process of all the teams in our league. Our computer system does a lot of the initial work for us, but we do a lot of research each season as players move from team to team and level to level. City Finals is the culmination of our season. This is facilitated by all the flight and overall coordinators in the league. The coordinators always say they enjoy finally getting to put a face with the name of their captains. They have developed a relationship with them throughout the season with emails and phone calls. At City Finals, they finally get to meet face to face. The league VP gets her guidance from the ALTA president and first vice president, along with the ALTA Board of Directors; all of which are volunteer positions. She approves the leveling and mapping of teams in divisions and is the point of contact for issues escalated beyond the overall coordinators. She is a member of the ALTA Executive Committee and the Rules Committee which both meet monthly throughout the year. So, you can see the ALTA village is filled with thousands of dedicated volunteers, across all the leagues, working to make playing league tennis a reality for all of us. I hope that you, as a player, will take the time to personally thank your team captain for stepping up to take on the responsibility of being part of the ALTA village! And if we see you at City Finals in May, please make sure to say “hello” and “thank you” to your ALTA coordinator! JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021 NETNEWS

GOOD QUESTION

WHO MAKES THE CALL ON A DOUBLE BOUNCE? I was spectating at a recent Men’s City Finals match and witnessed a point where a drop shot was hit to an opposing team (Team A), and as the player from that opposing team charged toward the ball and returned it, Team B alleged that the ball bounced twice on Team A’s side of the net. Team A disagreed with the allegation, and they could not agree. Who gets the point? Lamar Scott, First Vice President As stated in USTA’s “The Code” (#19), “A player shall concede the point when: A ball bounces more than once in that player’s court.” The question that usually comes up in these situations is not just whether a double bounce occurred, but who gets to make the call as to whether it occurred. Regarding who makes the call, The Code further explains (#5) that “A player calls all shots landing on, or aimed at, the player’s side of the net.” Therefore, in this case, the player attempting to return the drop shot was responsible for making the call. That team (Team A) would be awarded the point.

ADULT ELIGIBILITY Can my child play on an Adult League team? Keri Beck, Thursday Women’s League Vice President The best explanation for this is found in the Interpretations section of the Adult Captains’ Handbook. Interpretations cover situations not specifically stated in the rules and address questions that have arisen related to how certain rules are administered. Under Interpretation Rule I.A. Age Requirements, “A junior player may be added to an adult roster only on or after his/her 18th birthday. Once on an Adult League roster, the player may participate in the Junior Challenge Ladder, but may not return to the Junior League.”

INJURY TIME OUT

Photos by Jamie Howell

During a Men’s Doubles match, my partner stumbled, fell on the court while running to hit a shot, and injured himself. Our opponents were very gracious with allowing him adequate time to recover, but what is the official rule regarding how much time can be taken to treat an injury on the court? Roger Dennington, Senior League Vice President As referenced in the ITF Rules of Tennis, Rule

29c, “ …a player suffering from a treatable medical condition may be allowed one medical time-out of three minutes for the treatment of that medical condition.” Players should also keep in mind that these are unofficiated matches, which means players may choose to allow their opponent(s) a longer period of time to treat injuries, but they are not obligated to do so.

IT’S ALL IN THE TIMING During a doubles match, our opponent threw up a short lob, and she yelled, “Watch out! Back up!” multiple times and very loudly as I was about to hit the ball. Is there a rule regarding calling a let or taking the point due to this disturbance? Linda Shepherd, Sunday Women’s League Vice President

WE’RE TIED IN THE STANDINGS After three weeks of play, my team and another team both have 11 points, but we beat the team head to head, so shouldn’t we be ahead of them in the standings? Currently, the ALTA system shows them ahead of us. Cameron Turner, Mixed League Vice President During the regular season, the ALTA system will list teams with the same number of points in alphabetical order.

It depends on when you call the hindrance. Based on “The Code” on page 40 (sections 33 and 34) contained within the USTA Friend at Court, play must be stopped immediately to call the hindrance. If you decide to play the ball and then miss it, you lose the point because you did not make a timely claim of hindrance. Talking, or in this case, yelling is not allowed when the ball is moving toward the opponent’s court, and a hindrance can be called if play is stopped as soon as possible.

DID YOU EVER WONDER ABOUT … ? If you’ve ever had a situation occur in a match where no one on the court knew the rule that applied, send your inquiry to Good Question. ALTA officials answer questions in each issue of Net News and yours could be chosen next. Submit your question, along with your name, league, team name and level to altaeditor@ altatennis.org.

Hindsight Is 2020

ey, winners! In the sideways year that was 2020, I am extremely confident 2021 can be our finest moment. I am so proud to be part of the global tennis community. I would like to extend an extraordinary high-five to the USTA for shining a light on the advantages of tennis as a social-distance activity. These smart, high-character people kept the rally going around the world during this pandemic. On the professional players’ side, I was impressed to see these world-class athletes deal with pressures beyond losing a match with all the different “bubbles” and travel restrictions. I know the Australian Open will be a real challenge for players traveling from all parts of the planet. Will there be any 48

chance to hit balls or work out in their time in mandated quarantine? To roll into the first major of the calendar year with a two-week lockdown will challenge even the toughest mindset. Speaking of mental toughness, my 2020 players of the year are Sofia Kenin and Rafael Nadal. Kenin is one of my favorite pro ballers, and after winning her first major at the Australian Open last January, she never missed a beat. Competing and training during the lockdown led to a wonderful World Team Tennis season with the Philadelphia Freedoms making it to the playoffs. Kenin reached the round of 16 at the US Open and the finals of the French Open. The WTA has her ranked at #4 year-end, but that is wrong! I think COVID-19 infected the

WTA computer because Barty is #1 and played only four events, losing to Kenin in the Australian Open. It gets better; 2019 US Open Champion Andrescu ends up world #7 for 2020 and she never played a single match! The amount of ranking bonus money in those contracts is crazy-good, and Kenin was robbed of #1 for the year. I’m not happy. Meanwhile, Nadal winning his 13th French Open and 20th major overall (tying Federer for most singles majors on the men’s side) is just unbelievable. Nadal has a laser-like focus from practice swing to match point which sets him apart from anyone who ever picked up a racquet. My hope is that Federer comes back strong in 2021 and that Serena Williams — at 23 singles majors — feels the heat from Nadal and tries to widen the gap on her singles record title. All I know is that I’m happy to be done with 2020 and ready to hit aces in 2021. In my world, I have taken a phenomenal opportunity to be Director of Professional Tennis and Elite Scouting at the most successful tennis academy in the history of tennis. Starting last December, I continue my tennis journey at the IMG Academy, founded by the Hall of Famer Nick Bollettieri. I pride myself on a growth mindset. Growing my knowledge base at the highest level and contributing to tomorrow’s grand slam champions at a place that has produced 10 singles #1’s and hall-of-fame talents such as Andre Agassi and Monica Seles is a wonderful thrill. I hope to see you all hitting winners and having fun this year. Go for it! — LUKE JENSEN FRENCH OPEN DOUBLES CHAMPION

Using your ‘Tennis GPS’ to Help Navigate Through a Match BY STEWART RUSSELL, PARTNER UNIVERSAL TENNIS ACADEMY, JAMES CREEK TENNIS CENTER

ontrolling the rhythm, tempo and overall pace of a match is an extremely important skill. I like to use the analogy as if you were plugging in two coordinates into your tennis GPS/navigation system at the start of a match. Choosing the best route should not be based on factors like previous point outcome, a couple of close calls, weather-related issues, the perceived importance of the result of the match, amongst other things. Don’t let things like this “cloud’ your ability to mentally process the task at hand as you try and navigate through a tennis match. Let’s face it: We are all human and when given a three- or four-choice navigation option, we all will pick the fastest route to get from point A to point B. However, the question is, is this the most efficient and least mentally taxing choice one should take? Controlling the tempo of a match involves conserving energy (like gas in a car), as well as not rushing, and thus avoiding accidents within your game. In tennis, you are dependent on your opponent’s level of play and may be forced to choose an alternate route to help navigate you to a win on any given day. Slowing down, controlling the “controllables,” and trusting the process may not be a bad option at all. Everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Making sure you are doing your best to control the tempo and overall rhythm to help navigate through a tennis match is a key factor that could hopefully lead to more successful results.

The Importance of the Split Step BY JOYCE BITARAES, SMOKE RISE COUNTRY CLUBCENTER

hen we talk about how to improve your tennis game, most will agree that you need to become more consistent with your shots, practice your ground strokes, volley and serve technique. But what most players, and sometimes even coaches, don't realize is the importance of a basic footwork knowledge to improve your whole game. The split step technique is used by all high-level professional players and high-level club players. This simple technique can put you ahead of the game. The split step is a movement with our feet to neutralize our body position to the incoming ball, even before the ball has been hit by your opponent. When playing a match, we do not know where the ball is going next, and it is important to prepare our body to be able to move to any given direction. Thankfully, the split step technique is not complicated to execute. The technique is simply staying wide in your base, and knees slightly bent. This will actively load your leg muscles and prepare your body so that the instant your opponent hits the ball, you are ready to move to any direction. A not-so-well-executed split step can cause the player to compensate a late timing. One of the most common reasons why players hit a shot late is because the same player reacts to the incoming shot after it has been hit. This example will take us to a very important part of the split step, which is timing. Timing is the right moment a player prepares to deliver a shot. If you touch your feet down on your split too late, then

you will be taking time off from your adjustment steps around the ball once you approach it. This will cause a rush in your reaction and you will find yourself too close or too far from the ball. However, if you are too early on your split step, this will cause your muscles to lock in that loading position for too long. You will feel stuck and too heavy to give that first explosive step. The ideal timing to split step is right as your opponent is touching the ball with their strings. That way you can immediately identify the direction the ball is going, sprint off toward that direction, and adjust your body around the ball for the best contact point possible. Now that you have all the steps to practice, head off to the tennis courts. If you have a friend who can hit with you, the best way to start practicing your split step is to ask them to always shout “split” at the moment they are hitting the ball. Once you master this step, then you switch to yourself shouting “split” at the moment your friend hits the ball. This second progress will help your perception and focus on your opponent’s movement, so you can anticipate your reaction. If all your friends are busy but you have access to a ball machine, the easiest way to start your practice is to shout “split” every time you hear the machine launching the ball. Once you master this step, you can then stop shouting and let your reaction become natural when you hear the machine launching the ball. Make sure you are always moving your feet, and split step at the given moments mentioned above.

The split step technique is used by all high-level professional players.

Consistency and Execution are Keys to a Player’s Success BY TYLER COUCH, FAIR OAKS TENNIS CENTER

o matter how long we’ve played tennis, we always seem to be out of reach from our own idea of perfection. Even the most talented players in the history of the game routinely make mistakes and stumble through matches. None of us is perfect, no matter how many hours we spend training and trying our best to master our craft. We will make errors; errors that cost us crucial points, close games, and hardfought matches in competition. Tennis is a mentally and physically exhausting sport. This is a game of inches where consistency and execution are keys to a player’s success. Improving your tennis game starts with having a great mindset and attitude. We have all witnessed the competitive player who can let a single error affect his or her play throughout the future points of a match. Try to not let the little things get to you, and play it one point at a time. Stay calm, stay happy, and focus on the consistent shots that you know. Accept the fact that you’re going to make errors while playing and don’t let one bad point ruin the positive vibes you’ve been trying to manifest in your game and your life. Find a coach that suits you. Finding someone who you genuinely want to go hang out with on the tennis court is crucial to successful lessons and learning. Watch, listen, and learn. These three words are at the heart of tennis training. Watch how the pros and people better than you hit the ball and flow through their strokes. Listen to what your coach and the more experienced players have to say and put that into practice. There are many great tennis players out there and you can learn a little bit from each one. Practice alone won’t make you the perfect player, but make sure to spend a few days a week honing your skills and getting your reps. Hitting the same shot consistently in practice usually carries over into match play when it truly counts. Always practice with a purpose with and without your coach. Don’t be afraid to drill with a partner even if it’s not your specific practice night with the team. Make sure you always have a few goals when going out to the courts and try your best to accomplish them when you’re in training mode. Far too many people go out and aimlessly hit with their friends and never take the extra time to work on what they’ve been struggling with in matches. Don’t avoid the issues and spend some extra time each week working on what you need to improve. If you take lessons with a coach, make sure to go out sometime after your lesson and work on the skills and knowledge that they provided you with that week. You will have the utmost respect from your instructor and you will see vast improvements in your game. Tennis is a unique, lifelong sport. It’s an ever-evolving sport that tests our athletic abilities and mental fortitude. There isn’t a secret code or a quick path to success; it takes time to become proficient at the craft. Each day we return to the courts, our abilities are put to the test as we are presented with new challenges. Hard work, good people, proper training, and knowledge are the keys to the tennis kingdom. Rally on! 52

NUTRITION

Boost Your Tennis Game And Your Immune System This Winter BY PAGE LOVE, MS, RD, CSSD, LD, USPTA, AND CAROLINE WALKER, DIETETIC INTERN

t is that time of year again when we need to warm ourselves with liquid nutrition to enhance both our tennis performance and strengthen our immune systems with key winter foods stocked with anti-inflammatory nutrients. Often in the winter, it is more challenging to find higher quality produce. But have you ever heard about eating from the rainbow? With the chart below you will see what nutrients different-colored produce provides that will boost your immune system and help to building muscle. Aim to choose at least two colorful fruits and three colorful vegetables daily to better meet your antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral needs. Fruits fit well before tennis for quick energy fuels as part of breakfast meals or pre-match snacks. Bland fruits such as melon, berries, and banana are easier on the gastro-intestinal tract right before play and even on court. Most vegetables can be consumed before or after play, but cooked vegetables in soups are easier to digest, and soups provide important liquids for hydration. Consider soups that are packed with all the major food groups we know enhance tennis performance such as proteins for rebuilding muscles, grains/starches for muscle fuel sources, vegetables to meet antioxidant needs, and spices that also enhance immune function as well as add needed electrolytes for sweat losses. Whether it be pre- or post-match, consider a soup that includes all of the food group categories for a balanced meal that fully meets your nutrition needs. Denser soups, such as chilis, stews, and lentil/legume-based soups, will help you meet your full energy needs especially from complex carbs and proteins. Often, people choose soups that don’t have proteins or starches, which causes you to miss key macronutrients that are needed for pre- and post-play. Stews that are brothy but contain a lean meat or protein source and a starch base like potato, squash or legume, are perfect pre-match meals. Also, lentil- or legume-based soups are full of complex carbohydrates that are great pre-play muscle fuels. Chilis that are denser in meat, fiber, and spicey ingredients are more suited for post-play and recovery. Red foods, such as tomatoes, beans, and lean meats, are excellent recovery sources packed with anti-inflammatory nutrients and proteins to help rebuild muscles. Refer to my Winter Soups Worksheet online at netnewsmag.com to build your own performance soup. Make sure to choose ingredients from each category to make a well-balanced and adequate macronutrient meal.

Use a Rainbow of Fruits and Vegetable Approach, Even in the Winter Months Red Heart-healthy, improves memory/ brain function

Orange Promotes healthy skin and eyes, builds immunity, high in beta carotene, a precursor for vitamin A
