The summer-long event was a way to earn money for Community Tennis Association members by adding more fun events at summer tennis tournaments. CTA’s were able to earn money by incorporating the following: 

 

Adults enhancements: dressing as your favorite player, wearing your college jersey during a doubles match, having a notable community member (mayor, television anchor, etc.) attend the event.

 

Junior enhancements: hold the Net Generation banner in a photo, complete a tennis acronym worksheet, guessing the number of items in a tennis can, and more.

 

Payouts for the contest range from $500-$800, depending on how many items are submitted. The contest wrapped up on September 12, 2023. To view all of the photos Pella Tennis Association submitted, click here.
