Tampa Bay Tennis Pro Association (TBTPA) The Tampa Bay Tennis Pro Association (TBTPA) WILL BE OPEN to ALL TENNIS DIRECTORS & PROFESSIONALS who make a PART/FULL TIME income TEACHING TENNIS in the Tampa Bay area. Other Florida districts have accomplished many worthwhile and fun events with a collective effort FROM THEIR LOCAL TENNIS PROFESSIONALS. I feel our Tampa Bay district has some of the most talented, creative and best tennis teaching professionals in the state and with everybody's help, we can accomplish quite a bit. This can amount to just making a few phone calls, sending a few emails, securing a sponsor, hosting an event, pro league match, a fund raiser, attending scheduled events, etc. Pro's can and should help in areas they feel comfortable with. Together, we can shape TENNIS in Tampa Bay but we need your help and leadership. IF YOU WANT TO HELP NOW and be a part of the Tampa Bay Tennis Pro Association, even in a small way, then please email reply or call me at 813-855-9617. The BALL IS in your court and TOGETHER we can make a BIG difference. Let's make tennis in the Tampa Bay area even better than it is. Let's do it. Thanks.
