SEAN HANNITY vs. USTA...Part II

SEAN HANNITY vs. USTA...
THE SAGA CONTINUES
We were in Mobile in March when we first became aware of the massive changes that are coming to junior tennis. We were and are against these changes and it's not because this is our job. It's because we really do care about junior tennis players and we feel they will be hurt by these changes.
We did our very best to inform players and parents so they could voice their opinions and they wouldn't be blindsided. We personally have talked with players, parents, coaches, and directors all over the south and we have YET to meet a person who supports the proposed changes. But as luck would have it, our efforts were pretty much a waste of time and energy because the changes were approved and that's that. :(

Since then, many of you are probably aware that we've begun our efforts to move in many different directions going forward - hope at least one of them will be successful and we're able to help junior athletes use technology to their advantage. Tennis will always be our first love and we have a very special bond with loads of the players and parents we've met over the past 7 years - but tennis alone won't pay our bills! Keep your fingers crossed for the hardest-working couple that you've ever known! :)

It's been an interesting two weeks since the public slam of the "Sean Hannity vs. USTA" article...He may not be able to change anything (remember - I told you they are not in the mood to listen, much less revise their plans) and we know that many of you can't even get a response from them, but Sean Hannity's LOUD voice and BIG platform warranted him this 17-page-response from the Chair of the USTA National Junior Competition Committee. Cheers and hope to see YOU on video real soon!
