10/19/06 - The United States Professional Tennis Association has really stepped it up a notch in its commitment to helping members promote themselves by providing each of its members with their own personal Web sites. Members can now reap the benefits of the Internet and its vast communication capabilities and increase their channels of promotion and interaction with potential and existing students. While the personal Web sites have been available to all members since April 1997, previously members had to request a site and provide the content to USPTA, which controlled the site.
Each site has a home page that can be personalized as the USPTA teaching professional sees fit. Not only that, but each personal Web site has a biography and facility page, so visitors can learn more about the teaching professional and where he or she teaches. It does not stop there, members have pages for events, lesson programs, news and tennis tips. There is also a page that lets members upload up to 15 images and a company logo that can be placed on any page on the Web site.
USPTA members now have all the tools they need to create a personalized, professional, quality personal Web site that if utilized and updated frequently can be a great asset in terms of promoting the teaching professional, recruiting potential students and enhancing business opportunities.
Every USPTA member already has a site created just for them. All it needs is each member’s personal touch. Members simply go to usptapro.com, and log in to get started creating and personalizing your own Web site.
To find a USPTA teaching professional and visit one of their Web sites, go to usptafindapro.com, click Find-a-Pro under players and enter the appropriate search criteria.

Founded in 1927, USPTA strives to raise the standards of the tennis profession while promoting greater awareness of the sport. USPTA offers more than 30 professional benefits to its 14,500 members worldwide, including certification and professional development. With more than 300 days of educational opportunities throughout the year, USPTA offers the most comprehensive continuing education program in the tennis industry.
