Now Free - eTennisTeam Service

Kim Shanley, Publisher

TennisOne has decided to start 2006 with a real bang: our eTennisTeam service is now free. Starting today, we've waived the $25 per team charge and everyone can start using this sophisticated and powerful web service to manage your tennis team. It takes 30-60 seconds to set-up a team by clicking on the Register Team link, and then you're on your way.

Why free? First, eTennisTeam saves captains and team members tons of time and effort, and it's a shame to see a great tool not put to use. Secondly, eTennisTeam helps teams and players be the best they can be, and that's certainly part of TennisOne's mission. Finally, we know you'll find it valuable, and we hope you'll tell your friends about it and TennisOne. That's good enough for us.

Thanks to the feedback of eTennisTeam captains, we've made dozens of improvements in eTennisTeam over the past three months, and you can see the captains' reactions in the testimonials below.  Happy New Year from TennisOne.

eTennisTeam Captain Testimonials

  • The new player confirmation of the line-up is brilliant!  With the color coding on the line-up and the easy "click to confirm" step within the e-mail for the player. You have just added a new feature that is a real time saver for captain and player alike.
  • You did it! I just checked the summary and there they were...all of those S's and C's!  Excellent. Also, I just sent out our next match line-up and am getting back the confirmations from my players. I love that  feature!
  • I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for developing the eTeams site, it's such a great tool for captains. I know Pam, my co-captain, and i can say that we've found it immensely helpful. In addition, Ron has been wonderful. we've been reporting to him any thoughts we've had of the site since we started using it about two weeks, and he constantly responds and attends to the needs and suggestions! it's great. Ron does a fabulous job. Thanks again for developing this. it's a great tool
  • This is the first season that I've used eTennisTeam, and I think it's  great. I love it that it e-mailed me when one of my scheduled players changed their availability, and I love the way it sends pre-match e-mails that include contact information.
  • The changes you are making as time goes by are great. Very responsive and a nice JOB!
  • My team is thrilled to be using the eTeam tennis site....I have recommended the site and membership to the captains of the 10 other teams at our club! By the way, the tool itself has been a GODSEND for me.
