Sneek preview of official merchandise that will be available in Rochester during nationals

Shadow Lake is the home of the 2008 Nationals.

The Rochester Nationals Committee is working fast and furiously on all the hundreds of final details for the upcoming National Championships to ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible and that this will be an event worth remembering. As our date approaches ever so quickly.

Reilly Green Mountain’s crew has erected one temporary court so far at Shadow Lake with 2 more to follow, so having 8 courts at the main site will be a huge improvement over our past nationals. We have 4 cameras all hooked up to provide live feed in to the Shadow Lake Restaurant and Bar on 4 different courts, so the players and spectators won’t miss any action at all. Great favors, food, and entertainment are all finalized and scheduled.

Our Nationals clothing is arriving each day and we really think we have a great line of Nationals Clothing to sell with all top quality name brands. Sponsorship support has been amazing mainly due to the positive attitude of our Rochester paddle players, local Companies, and their great support of Platform Tennis, realizing the excitement of having a National Championship here in Rochester. We will be ready and waiting for the first day of competition to begin, and hope to provide all the participants a truly memorable experience for this prestigious 74th annual APTA National Championships.
