SPRING HAS ARRIVED
Senior Men's 3.0 Serve Up USTA League Season Opener
HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- Senior Men's 3.0 defending champion Moss Creek Tornadoes started off on a lot of right feet Monday, sweeping all sets and courts in the USTA League Spring season opening day. Also taking three courts today, but in a different fashion, were the Spring Lake Court Jesters, winners of two three-set courts and one straight-setter. Senior Women's 3.5s launched their seasons Wednesday in HHI and Coastal Carolina leagues, while more levels begin next week.
Most levels will run through the end of April or very early May, setting up levels winners that will advance to the South Carolina Senior State Championships on Hilton Head Island and the Adult States Aiken and Greenville.
TENNIS E-News will post a weekly compilation of leaders in the various HHI and CCTA levels throughout the Spring and when Mixed, Combo and Super Seniors leagues play later in the year.

crew members for the 40th consecutive year of the women's pro tour event that
will be played Mar. 31 - Apr. 8 at the Family Circle Tennis Center, Daniel

matches.”

Saturday, Feb. 18 at the Family Circle Stadium. The first practice will
immediately follow that meeting on center court. Weekly ball crew training

Friday, Mar. 30. All participants will be needed at the Family Circle Cup
Saturday, Mar. 30 through Thursday, Apr. 5. An All-Star Team will be selected
based on ability, performance and attitude for the quarterfinals, semifinals and
finals, Apr. 6 - 8.
Changes Coming in a Year
#5 of the Top Five Most-Asked Questions About League Restructuring
Q. This restructuring seems like a pretty big deal. When will there be more information on how it is all going to work?
A. The USTA National regulations for restructuring will receive final approval in March. These regulations will provide all of the details on the restructured system. Then, additional regulations will be issued by the Southern Section and the USTA South Carolina for those league programs under their direction. However, all of the essential changes have already been approved and that information is currently available on various USTA websites (including www.sctennis.com).
From April through the fall, there will be a great deal of additional information and details on the actual implementation of league restructuring.
