Connect ball to racquet and person to person with today’s side deal: for $10, you get a three-month partner program membership (a $24 value) to the TennisPhilly branch of the Tennis League Network, an organization that helps match local tennis lovers with playing partners. Over the past two years, Tennis League Network has donated 2%–5% of its tennis partner program 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. The Philadelphia network alone contains more than 1,500 members, fingers all twitching toward racquet handles in their respective abodes. After registering with the network, you’ll be connected to 19 other 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 outdoor tennis, rather than wistfully thinking about it, with today's side deal.
