WHEN WAS SUPER SENIOR TENNIS SANCTIONED?

Super Senior Tennis was "Nationally" sanctioned in 2006. A program doesn't get sanctioned by the National Office until over 20,000 players are participating. That occurred in 2006. Nationally we have 22,371 players participating.


WHEN DID MISSOURI VALLEY BEGIN SUPPORTING SUPER SENIOR LEAGUES?

Missouri Valley began supporting Super Senior Leagues in 2004. We now have 607 players participating. We will have Super 70's which Missouri Valley is supporting in 2008.

WILL LEAGUES FOR 65’S BE ESTABLISHED?

If leagues for 65's were established they would diminish the pool of players for Super Seniors too greatly. That is why leagues are established for 10 year increments: Seniors 50, Super Seniors 60, Super 70's and some day Super 80's.
