Hilton Head Island, SC - - Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) and TennisLMS
Corporation, a revolutionary new company with a platform for tracking players'
development and performances, have signed a two year agreement. PTR members will
receive exclusive discounted pricing for all components of TennisLMS web
application: Video Analysis, Match Analysis, Fitness Analysis, Mental Game
Development and High Performance Academy Editions,
recognizing TennisLMS as the official Player Development Platform of PTR.
The TennisLMS (Learning Management System) platform provides a range of
unique features for club owners, directors, head coaches, coaches and physical
trainers that encourages participation, retention, long term player development
and helps up-sell tennis memberships and lessons. TennisLMS is easy to use and
doesn't require any software to be installed - PTR coaches will access all
features and player development plans over the Internet. For example, TennisLMS
Video Analysis is accessible from home, the club or when traveling. Coaches can
send Video Analysis with feedback via email to any student or parent, comparing
student biomechanics with the best of PTR library of videos. Video Analysis can
be used as a service, so each student receives personalized feedback and videos
of their strokes.
"In this economic downturn, PTR is trying to help our coaches and clubs to
become more profitable and TennisLMS has the platform and the vision at an
affordable price. It will maximize sharing of the knowledge of PTR coaches and
extended value added services they offer to their clients. With TennisLMS'
tracking of all components from one place, PTR will also separate our coaches
from the competition," said Dan Santorum, PTR CEO.
"TennisLMS is also
introducing a business model for the tennis coaches and clubs (authorized resale
of TennisLMS subscription with profits shared with coaches and clubs). PTR is
recognized globally and TennisLMS has already established a strong presence in
the USA and Europe, which makes a perfect partnership between PTR and TennisLMS.
TennisLMS provides unprecedented Return on Investment (ROI) for coaches and
clubs - in some cases over 14 times," states Sasha Frljanic, TennisLMS Founder
and Chief Executive Officer.

"TennisLMS has carefully chosen partners (Tennis Europe, Pat Etcheberry, Dr. Bryce Young, Linda LeClaire, and Prince Plugged In) with whom we want to help build the next generation of modern tennis coaches. PTR has a long history of innovations, professionalism and setting the new standards in teaching excellence, therefore equipping each PTR coach with modern tools, we believe it will further elevate this generation of coaches," added Jones.
