SquareHit Tennis Pledges Financial Support to Youth Tennis Advantage
Innovative Tennis Training Aid Company Will Donate Portions of New Product Proceeds to Non-Profit Organization for Inner City Kids  

Palo Alto , Calif. — July 10, 2006 — SquareHit Tennis, a developer of innovative tennis training equipment, today announced that it will contribute a portion of the revenues on sales of its first product, the WristAssist TM , to Youth Tennis Advantage, a San Francisco Bay Area non-profit organization. The proceeds from SquareHit Tennis will serve to finance and support YTA’s academic tutoring and tennis instruction programs, and further extend the reach and value of the non-profit throughout the Bay Area.

Youth Tennis Advantage is an organization dedicated to serving youth in inner-city communities through a program of tennis and academic tutoring that promotes physical, educational, and life skills. These skills are essential to prepare children, especially those in lower-income communities, to become leaders and to position them for success in their personal lives.

“Tennis is both a great sport and a great vehicle for helping others,” said Bow Rodgers, CEO of SquareHit Tennis. “Tennis helps build character, develop a strong work ethic and become more disciplined. By donating to YTA, SquareHit helps more kids benefit from these important life lessons.”

“We are very grateful that SquareHit Tennis has decided to contribute to YTA,” said Joanna Lin, YTA Board Member. “We have created a winning team to help kids learn a great sport and build their confidence in the classroom. SquareHit’s assistance will help us further develop existing programs and reach a wider spectrum of inner-city children.”

SquareHit Tennis’ first product, the WristAssist, will be introduced later this month at one of the nation’s top-rated female tennis tournaments: The Bank of the West Classic at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. on July 24.

About Youth Tennis Advantage
Youth Tennis Advantage has 10 locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, including sites at Stanford University, U.C. Berkeley and University of San Francisco. The program was founded in 1968 and follows the model created by tennis great Arthur Ashe of using tennis as a vehicle to enrich the lives of inner-city kids who face various challenges and issues relating to poverty.  To learn more about YTA visit www.youthtennis.org.
