Dear Friends,
We hope you are having a good start to the new year. As we are about to begin the new 2012 USTA League Season, we will strive as always to keep you as informed as possible on all things tennis in Memphis.
Memphis has three Local League Coordinators for the 2012 season, and getting important information to you as a player or captain is one of our primary goals. This is done through our website, our monthly newsletters, Facebook, and Twitter. So please take the time to frequently visit our website so that you will not miss important announcements and information.

 2012 MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY
**Attention**
All League Players
The updated 2012 MTA membership directories are now available and will be distributed at the final Captain's Meeting (above).
Please encourage your Spring Captains to attend, as they will be responsible for picking up directories for their players.
**Captains**
- Please bring a list (a count) of players for whom you will need a directory
- ADULT captains - do not include Senior players in your count, if the Senior player is also playing on a Senior team
- SENIOR captains - include all players in your count
- If a player is playing their current level as well as playing "up" a level, the captain of the player's true level (lower level) team will pick up the book for that player
If you are NOT playing on a spring team, please contact us via email at memphista@gmail.com to arrange to get your directory. Otherwise, please contact your captain to obtain your directory.
(Please forward this newsletter to your USTA friends who may not be on our mailing list yet.)
