The Tennis Industry Association (TIA) recently announced the award
for the top tennis pro shops in the country. The Indianapolis
Racquet Club Pro Shop was selected in a poll by representatives of
the top racquet, ball, and soft goods manufacturers and associations
earlier this year. This is the first time the TIA is honoring
pro shops with this distinction.
Selection criteria included technical expertise and product
knowledge, merchandising excellence, how frequently they "give back"
to the sport, teamwork with suppliers and whether the retailer is
the "go to" shop when it comes to tennis in their area.
"We're pleased to honor
the pro shops who are not only doing a fantastic job with their own
businesses, but also are helping this sport to grow," says TIA
President Jim Baugh. "The response time from the industry
about these awards has been huge."
The
Indianapolis Racquet Club (IRC), established in 1965 and former home
of the U.S. National Clay Court Championships, is celebrating over 40 years of tennis excellence. With two facilities
and 24 indoor, IRC serves approximately
2400 members including over 800 juniors, many of which participate
in the club's nationally recognized junior tournament players
program. The Indianapolis Racquet Club Pro Shop has become
known as the Midwest's finest full-service tennis outfitter.
Each IRC
facility houses a tennis pro shop, with their flagship location on
Dean Road comprising over 2500 square feet of the latest tennis gear
and equipment. Open to the public seven days a week, the IRC
Pro Shops offers expert stringing, a frequent stringer program,
adult and school team discounts, special ordering service, a wide
selection of court equipment and apparel, demo racquets, a
competitive pricing policy, and much more.
In
addition, the IRC Pro Shop is the official retail sponsor of the
Indiana High School Tennis Coaches Association (IHSTeCA) and is the
tennis source to over 400 college, high school, and middle school tennis
programs across the country. |
