8-Week Season

     HEAR YE ... HEAR YE ... Player Call Out for 2nd Annual Pro Tennis League

        HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- Players, get ready. Spectators, alert your Friday evening social calendar. The second season of the highly successful HHI Pro Tennis League is preparing for its player draft and team formation, aiming for a start in late April. Finalizing the dates, times and sponsor list will come soon. 

    "We are still tying up a few loose ends with the venue location for one week and also exact date and time of the Player Draft Party," HHIPTL Board VP Matt Wuller emails. "Also, we are finalizing all the sponsors for the league this season."

 

    The four captains will be drafting players -- men and women -- behind closed doors (Patrick Mason, Brian Kiggans, Lee Holyoak and Matt Wuller). Team personnel will be announced at the Player Draft Party. An eight-week season will consist of six regular season matches, semifinal week and finals match.

 

    The four teams will consist of 10 players each or more if so deemed by the league board members. In addition to the teams captains, the board includes Mike O'Regan as an at-large member. Each match will consist of three doubles courts. To qualify for a team, a player must have a 4.5 or better rating. An application to play is available by emailing mwuller@seapinescountryclub.com.
