December 2006 -- Included in the December issue of ADDvantage is a special gift for you – a DVD featuring five separate episodes of our instructional TV show on The Tennis Channel, “On Court with USPTA.” These five DVDs, packaged individually and sold through www.usprotennisshop.com, normally sell for a total of more than $100.
We’re sending this DVD for a couple of reasons. We want to give you a sample of the many educational resources that are discussed in the special feature in the centerfold of this magazine and update you on the quality of member and consumer education we have been producing on your behalf for three years on The Tennis Channel.
Over those three years, USPTA has developed nearly 100 commercial quality DVDs for modern tennis education and certification. As we have created these systems and tools, our certification and education committees have added the important aspects of modern tennis to the USPTA Certification Exam. In fact, in addition to all of the written materials we send to new applicants, we include five DVDs to serve as study materials for modern tennis. And, the exam will continue to evolve with the addition of every innovative and proven system of teaching and learning.
We hope you will enjoy this DVD and find many fresh teaching tips on it.
We originally thought about giving this gift as an incentive for those members who paid their dues early. However, we realize that our only real incentive is that the best tennis education reaches our members and the millions of students who are their consumers.
With this thought, we wish you a happy holiday season and look forward to your comments on how we can serve you further.
