Courtside Racquet Club
April 2010, Tencap Club of the Month
Lebanon, New Jersey
Located in Lebanon, New Jersey, Courtside Racquet Club is the 2009 USTA National Facility of the Year and introduced the Tencap Tennis System in late 2009 to
improve their tennis programs. Running in-house leagues, clinics, junior programs and soon, their Club Championships, Courtside has seen the advantage of having
a platform on which their members can get connected and track their match results.
Courtside General Manager, Bruce Levine, and Director of Tennis, Steve Bork.
General Manager, Bruce Levine, said, "There are many areas where we have been taking advantage of the Tencap System to improve the services offered to our members. We use the site to run our very active in-house ladies leagues, and our pros have organized their clinics online to improve communication with all the clinic participants. Tencap is also an effective tool for helping us organize our junior tour program which has upwards of 150 juniors competing in an ATP like format each week. The kids involved are very anxious to keep up with their rankings and those of their peers, as well as their standings on the ‘tour.' As a tool for tracking player's progress, connecting your members, and dramatically improving the communication between pros and players, the Tencap System has been incredible."
To date, more than 400 members have logged into the Courtside Tencap Network. Being the technical advisor for Tennis Magazine, Bruce Levine has also taken all racquets available for sale in their pro shop and assigned recommended Tencap Ratings to each of the racquets. This helps players narrow down the enormous number of racquets available into a select few that are more appropriate for their skill level.

"This is the future of tennis," said Levine. "We're merging Social Networking Technologies with a great event management and communication tool, and a dynamic rating system. Right now, we're just scratching the surface of what could be done with these technologies."
Courtside Racquet Club has 6 indoors courts, and offers private and semi private lessons for adults and juniors. They host multiple tournaments, social events, leagues and Summer Camps both on site and off site at local schools and public facilities. Courtside also offers a membership to it's heated pool and spa.
