Notice to TAHHI USTA Spring League Captains:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REGISTER ON TENNISLINK BEFORE DEC. 28.
HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) – With many team numbers out for the USTA League spring season, that’s the blunt message for Tennis Association of HHI teams … unless the team/player would like to be in a league, say, in Charleston or Columbia.
The latter is a definite possibility if a local captain or player attempts to register for a roster before TennisLink opens for our local leagues on Dec. 28. Before that date, TennisLink’s software will search for any league whose registration already is open, like, say, Greenville. The commute to matches will be a challenge.
Specifics and instructions on how to register will be in the next issue of TENNIS E-News. You have better things to putz with between now and then anyhow. Enjoy the holidays.
