Wilson Racquet Sports and Tennis Corporation of America (TCA) have signed a three-year contract representing a commitment by both companies to further endorse the products and services that each company sells.
The agreement states that as the Official Ball for TCA, TCA will exclusively sell Wilson tennis balls and use only Wilson tennis balls for all instruction and programs. And, as the Official Tennis Company, TCA will exclusively use Wilson racquets for their Tennis-in-No-Time® patented beginner tennis lesson program. Wilson will also offer support to all TCA teaching staff with a promotional equipment program that includes racquets, footwear and string at preferred pricing.
TCA, a pioneer in the sport of tennis, is committed to providing premier services and excellence in club management with over 40 clubs owned and operated in North America. The company began in 1969 with the opening of the Mid-Town Tennis Club® in Chicago, which remains the worlds largest indoor tennis club designed and built for indoor tennis. Owned by Alan Schwartz, current President of the USTA, TCA continues to redefine the tennis and fitness industry by introducing new and innovative techniques, providing trained expert tennis and fitness professionals and specialized programs centered on meeting the specific needs of individual members.
“TCA and Wilson Racquet Sports are two companies that resonate a rich past and unparalleled expertise in our respective fields,” says Michael Mahoney, National Tennis Director of TCA. “The partnership serves mutually beneficial interests and further reinforces our shared sense of business and philosophical values.”
Wilson has long supported TCAs corporate meetings, tennis programs and special events with personnel, products and celebrity advisory staff appearances. “TCA is an extremely professional organization that offers Wilson a unique opportunity at its facilities throughout the U.S.,” said Jon Muir, Director of U.S. Marketing & Promotions. “This new partnership is ideal and mutually beneficial for both our organizations because it combines our retail and sales focus with promotional efforts at each facility to directly reach the active tennis player.”
