Call for WTT teams

Hi all!

For World Team Tennis:

If you would like to play and don’t have a team go here: http://www.wttrec.com/recleag/league_info.asp?s=740&t=1&l=4614&f=2022&shw=reg and select “Participant – I need to be placed on a team” when prompted. If I don’t have a team for you by the time the season starts, I will switch your registration to Substitute. Or you can sign up as a sub. Subs pay only $5, no matter how many times they end up playing during the season. But then again, there is no guarantee they will get to play at all.

Questions? Concerns? Please email me here or call 541.510.6402.

Best Regards,

Ramey Newell

SNM Adult Mixed and Tri-Level League Coordinator

“Borderlands” WTT League Administrator

ATA Closed Tournament

The closed tournament is only a week and a half a way! Click here to read all about it in the Alamogordo Daily News.

Look about two entries below here for an entry form!

Middle School Tennis

ATA mid school tennis program, offered through the combined efforts of NMSU-A Community Ed and ATA, finished up mid September. In four weeks, excellent progress was seen in the 20 participants who were taught by 10 ATA volunteers, headed by Cameron Brace Emmert, lead instructor. Cameron's simple instructions and format, paired with kids each hitting hundreds of balls each session, resulted in student success! Special thanks to other ATA volunteers: Rick B, Bernice, John W, Linda, John & Evelyn, Janet, Laurie, and Grady. This is the 4th year that ATA/NMSU-A has offered this program.
