Los Angeles – May 19, 2023 – Conga Sports Inc, the company known for shifting the economic model from tennis players to local sponsors to make tennis more accessible for everyone, had signed up four teams for the inaugural launch of City Slams, a new series of team tennis tournaments for recreational players. Teams representing the cities of Los Angeles, Pasadena, Santa Monica, and Studio City were competing through group-level matches and semifinals until the two finalists were established as the teams of Los Angeles and Studio City.
“We are creating a series of entertaining tennis tournaments for players like you and me,” says Rich Neher, Conga Sports CEO, and President. “I call it the ‘tour for the little guy’ because it will have to look and feel of a pro tour or even Davis Cup designed to create renewed excitement in the sport of a lifetime and make players proud representatives for the city, the community they live in.”
City Slams will provide an affordable way for tennis teams to participate in matches with a pathway to national championships by asking local sponsors to cover registration fees for the teams. The series is designed to become nationwide in a few short years for city teams to fight for the National City Slams title.
“Once we are playing the tournaments in every U.S. state, we will go for more North American expansion and include teams from Mexican and Canadian cities,” adds Neher.
May 24th is the date for the finals of City Slams in Southern California (first season). The matches will be played at MountainGate Country Club from 6:30 pm until 9:30 pm. The eventual SoCal Champion team will play later this year against the Northern California champions for the California State Championship for their city.
