Tennis Player Fights to Keep Tennis Dollars in Georgia

Just one year ago, Beth McCaskill, a Gainesville, Georgia competitive tennis player

began brainstorming ideas on how to grow the businesses that keep Georgia tennis

topping the charts nationally. With so many national companies advertising and selling

tennis essentials online, Georgia businesses fight for their share of the retail market.

Georgia has more competitive tennis players than ANY other state in the U.S. The

tennis clubs in Georgia have the best pros and facilities in the U.S. and need to reap

some reward. There had to be a way to connect the Georgia tennis community with all

the tennis-related businesses and facilities in Georgia. There was also a need to assist

the tennis clubs in bringing these tennis players to their courts.

The web site features monthly newsletters and informative articles including audio from

Luke Jensen (Georgia resident French Open Doubles Title Holder) and 'Juniors Corner'

by collegiate player Brooke Nord. Other key features include maps to all Georgia tennis

clubs and stores (over 2400), weather, featured events and tournaments, tennis club

web-page links, tennis club event calendars and international professional tennis news.

Photographs taken at statewide junior tournaments will also be highlighted.

"Why should Georgia tennis players be purchasing online when Georgia tennis stores

have everything the internet offers and more right here in our own backyards?" says

McCaskill. "Now our players can easily know everything that's available at ALL the

facilities in Georgia." One Atlanta tennis store owner phoned McCaskill saying "Your

web site is just what we needed, let's go!"

Tennis Players Network, which started as a twinkle in a tennis lover's eye, has now

grown over 123% in a short period of time. In a message to McCaskill, one University

coach writes "Let's put our tennis team on the map!" Atlanta club pro wrote "Thanks for

growing tennis, and giving us this opportunity."

"No, I am not an internet mogul," jokes McCaskill, "but I am delighted and proud to have

created a way to connect Georgia businesses to the tennis community. Tennis in

Georgia is tremendous compared to the other states with over 121,000 players, and

people work hard to make it that way. NO dollars should be leaving our state and going

to national or international companies. When Georgia businesses tap into the Georgia

tennis 'family' I will say that my job is a success!"
