Community Surface
After the 2010 Tennessee floods, SportMaster Sport Surfaces were featured on The Tennis Channel as a volunteer supporter of the Community Surface TV show. This was a Tennis Channel original series pilot episode that dealt with repairing some of Nashville's oldest public tennis courts after the devastating floods worsened the already weathered courts. The USTA also took part in the project with financial assistance and with engineering specifications for converting full-size courts into 10 and Under Tennis courts, for kids.
