Hi,

I'm not sure if you've checked your email, but I've began the process of organizing a group get-together. Anyway, you're the group-creator so if you have any advice or questions, please let me know!

Thanks,
Andrew

Just got it and I just sent a group message out. Thanks for the help in organizing, Andrew! I'll post a couple of location options on the Tampa page and hopefully we can meet up!

Andrew (Tampa Bay)

Well actually I've only got two replies so far so I wasn't planning on having the meet up tomorrow.. but if you or I get more replies, I guess I'll show up because otherwise I wouldn't be available until the Sunday after Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 3)

I have received replies from:

Vid
Sridhar
and you.

but I don't know if they would be coming tomorrow because I told them I still don't have a date.. just a probable day of the week once I get everyone's reply within a week of the message..

so unless I get a lot of replies that say people will show up tomorrow, the best I can do is February 10th..

Anyway, let me know! I'm staying up for the men's final at 3:30 am, so I'm not sure what time I'd be waking up.

I think I'll post in the group forum and then people can post their names if they would be willing to play tomorrow.

Sounds great, however I'm really not one for doubles. If I'm not mistaken there's only two courts? Depends on your group response. Let me know what you're thinking, time, ect. feel free to give me a call if you like. 727-565-4161

Get Back To Center Court!

Hi Chrisje. Thank you for your message. Glad to joint this group. Playing with new people is always fun. I've been playing mostly in clay courts the ones at HCC and Davis Island but hard courts are ok. I may be a 4 level player. Look forward to see you tennis lovers in the courts! :)

As Promised,

Most of this is isolated forehand topspin video...I believe there's a couple of instructional videos as well. Enjoy.

First part of this video talks a bit about forehand form concept.

Hi Chrisje,
I live in the Egypt Lake area, so of course would prefer somewhere near there. Where do you usually play?

Find more photos like this on Tennisopolis : Tennis Social Network

Mark / The Mayor

Chrisje, I figured out a good way.
Just put those photos in an album in the photos section, and then "embed" the album on the Tampa page. (like you did above and I did below). You can embed all your albums, or if that is too many, just embed the most recent one, OR make a "best of" tampa album and embed it (and keep it updated).
hoped this helped,
M

Hey there! I couldn't find the private comment (I'm just as new to this site as I am to Tampa).... I am in the New Tampa area and am willing to travel a bit to hit. I would consider myself an intermediate player, but it has been quite a while since I've played.. hopefully not too rusty! If you know how to send a private note with your email then I can send you my information in a reply. Thanks!

You too! It was a lot of fun. As long as work doesn't go too late I WILL be there! Thanks again!

Hi Chrisje,

Deborah here from the St. Pete group -- Isounds like your group is really active! I'm interested in joining your group, too but would like to know whether other members are in St. Pete or South Tampa so I wouldn't have to always drive to North Tampa. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Deborah

Hi,
I just wanted to take a minute and let you know what a great job you have done with your site. I also wanted to let you know that, regarding my remark about Tennisopolis, I have done all of the things you mentioned AND hosted a tennis tournament. Heck...I have even gone to the local courts with a sign that said " Let's Hit!" (That seems to work but who wants to be that dorky all the time?) It isn't for lack of trying...it is just that Dallas is a HUGE city with a ton of courts but the tennis community is very closed. That is because it doesn't have the things other large cities have...a WTT Team...a Professional tournament...etc. If you don't have the $$$ to belong to a club...well then you are out of the loop.

In any event I have started a group here at Tennisopolis...goodness knows...I'll keep trying...

Chrisje, since Mark is Da Mayor, I think you could be World Coordinator for Tennisopolis to set up all events for everyone!!!

Hi Chrisje, how's life?

Just wanted to point you to a couple of fun groups that popped up.
My Racket, What's Yours?? is a place to show off your weapon of choice.
Prince Players, We Got Next set up by Prince, Inc.
Fans of Serena - obvious title, but I'm not joining. ;-)
