Hello Members,

I am excited and proud to announce Austin Tennis Club  has partnered with South Austin Tennis center as our official club home court location.  As many of you already know, we host our weekly tennis social as well as various other events at the center throughout the year.  Brien Parsons, myself, and Jim Rainbolt, have been working together to come up with an exciting partnership that will offer our members some great new benefits for being a member of Austin Tennis Club.

• A 10% Discount on all RippnerTennis merchandise
• Host to our annual club singles and and doubles championship
• Future team tennis seasons

The above discount is off of all regularly priced merchandise including shoes, racquets, bags, strings, and accessories.  Lessons, clinics, stringing, ball machines, and concessions are NOT included in the discount.

We will be announcing some exciting new events for the fall and want to thank all of our members for your continued support of not only ATC, but RippnerTennis as well.

See ya on the courts!!

Eric Heeder

President of Austin Tennis Club
