Connect ball to racquet and person to person with today’s side deal: for $10, you get a three-month partner program membership (a $20 value) to the Tennis DC branch of the Tennis League Network, an organization that helps match local tennis lovers with playing partners. During 2010, Tennis League Network will donate 2%–5% of its entry fees to the Cancer Research Institute.

The Tennis League Network operates like a very specific social networking or dating website, but with the sole intention of matching tennis lovers to potential playing partners. See how it works here. This DC network has a multitude of members, fingers all twitching toward racquet handles in their respective abodes. After registering with the network, you’ll be connected to 20 men and/or women in your area, matched to your specific skill level. This pool of individuals allows subscribers to find a dedicated partner with whom to hit the tennis courts or clubs. Start actually playing tennis, rather than wistfully thinking about it, with today's side deal.
