    • 11:49 Chris’s ideas on how the TCTA could contribute to the Tyler tennis community

      • facilitate cross promotion for Quickstart events and kids tennis generally

      • facilitate community wide communication to promote tennis and specifically events like play days and tournaments. For example: flyers to schools. Could the TCTA be a conduit to TISD for getting information and opportunities from the various tennis sources to the students and families?

      • four excellent college teams in Tyler. (TJC & UTT men’s and women’s) How can the TCTA use this resource and can the TCTA increase the attendance at the team matches? Discussion followed mostly around how the players could contribute to tennis in the community. College matches are an underutilized opportunity for the general public, tennis community, and aspiring young players to see some great tennis.

    • 12:09 Jake offered and suggested Faulkner’s association with the city could help promote the TCTA.
