Exhibition a HUGE HIT!






150 people came out to watch National Champions Brian Uihlein & Scott Mansager show their magic on the platform courts at Cherokee Town Club November 1st. Co-hosted by the PPL & Wilson, the event was a smash hit and competed well against college football games that day. There was also a special "teach the teachers" session for local pros who are preparing to offer platform tennis lessons to players. The event was a great way to kick-off the season, which begins November 10th and runs through February. Mark Fischl, President of the APTA who came down for the event remarked "I love coming to Atlanta to see such an active and inspired group of players and organizers - this is a great growth opportunity for the sport and the APTA is committed to helping wherever needed" - nice job!
