......We did not even speak about
Tennis! Tennis players who at the top of there game and play at the
professional level earn large endorsement deals and winnings from each match
won. With all this being said, we all MUST think....where did they all start?
Did a group of guys just sit around
having a good time and all of a sudden out of nowhere "lights start
flashing"? To tell you the truth, that's how many of these sports began.
Just 20 years ago the creator of Arena Football was attending a indoor soccer
game with his buddies and wondered how the game of football would be if it were
played in a indoor soccer sized field. Twenty years later, the AFL is on ESPN and earning players
$200,000-$800,000 a year. The point I am trying to make here is "ALL GREAT
THINGS MUST START SOMEWHERE"! The seeds must be planted for it to grow.
Ring Tennis (TENNIQUOIT) has been a major sport in about 7
countries since the mid 1900's but has eventually formed its own WORLD TENNIQUOITS FEDERATION. In 2006, the first
World Championship games were played in INDIA. World leaders from each country
heavily supported there teams and major corporate sponsors such as LG (THE
COMPANY THAT IS PARTNERED WITH MOST SPRINT PCS PHONES) have shown support and
grown interest in the sport. Currently, there are 11 teams from across the
globe eligible and registered to participate in the 2010 World Games in
Germany. In addition, the U.S. has also been invited to participate in the 2010
World Games and U.S. teams are being currently organized and trained. Like many
other sports, Ring Tennis will quickly find its way into the hearts of Northern
Americans as a family game, picnic event and eventually a physical educational
curriculum in schools.
If the game of "PING PONG" AKA TABLE TENNIS can grow into an Olympic
sport, pay large salaries, and have a player network of over 40 million
worldwide, look forward to Ring Tennis joining the ranks of the current and popular
competitive single and team sports!
