The APTA Service Award

Every one of us can name people who have selflessly contributed to the sport of platform tennis year after year. The passionate efforts of these people are indispensable to the health and growth of the sport, but only a handful of them will achieve the highest distinction of the sport: induction into the Platform Tennis Hall of Fame.

The APTA has created an award to recognize people who have made invaluable contributions to platform tennis. The APTA Service Award will be granted annually by the Board. Each recipient’s name will be added to a plaque that is planned to reside at the Platform Tennis Museum and Hall of Fame, and each will receive a gift.

The first recipient of the APTA Service Award, granted at the annual meeting on May 8, 2009, was Mark Fischl. Mark served tirelessly as President of the APTA for six years, and was the inspiration for the award. It was with pleasure that the APTA presented the first APTA Service Award to Mark.
