The American Platform Tennis Association and The Greater Cincinnati Platform Tennis Association are very excited and, pleased to announce that Cincinnati will, for the first time, host the 75^th Annual Men’s and Women’s National Platform Tennis Championships and the Presidents Cup March 5 – 8, 2009.

This event will draw about 176 teams from many areas of the country, with many local teams competing.  Cincinnati has a long standing Platform History, with 14 local venues and over 800 paddle tennis players currently participating in weekly leagues.  The paddle season is between October and February.

Although it is looking like the Reds will not be contenders in the World Series, you can now take advantage of the fact that the stadium is no longer selling out. You can buy seats for $5 and hot dogs are on sale for only $1 for the next two games against the Milwaukee Brewers. The games are at 7:10 pm on Tuesday and at 12:35 pm on Wednesday. Tickets are available on the Red’s website, by calling (513) 381-REDS, or buy them at the ball park.
