Both TennisMD and USPTA will also provide advertising on, as well as links to each other’s sites.

Tennis-health.com, which was created in support of Tennis — for the health of it!, is a free, interactive Web site that targets teaching professionals, tennis consumers, health-care professionals, and non-tennis playing consumers. Tennis — for the health of it! is an initiative started by the USPTA in January 2008 to make the general public aware of the tremendous health, fitness and psychological benefits of tennis and encourage people to get out and play the sport as a part of their regular fitness regimens. The sport of tennis is also social and fun, and can be a welcome change to routine gym workouts or as an additional activity in a fitness routine as part of a healthy lifestyle. The USPTA and its members are the delivery force through which the public can receive these benefits through lessons and other tennis activities.
