Nominate a Great Server for the 2012 APTA Service Award

February 29, 2012

The APTA created the APTA Service Award to recognize people who have made invaluable contributions to platform tennis.  Introduced in 2009, the Service Award was at first voted on by the APTA board. (Only one award is given each year.) The first two recipients were Mark Fischl and Bill O’Brien for their high-level contribution to the sport and the growth of the game.
