Welcome to StMarysTennis.org! This article will help you with the registration process and how to get the most out of this site.
The first step is obviously to get registered. Click "Register" at the bottom of the Login Form on the left hand side of the page. After sending in your registration form, check your email for the activation email, and click the link in it to finish the registration process. Consider making your Username something recognizable (like Last Name + First/Middle initial) as real names are hidden to other users. Email addresses are also hidden.
Logging in as a registered user gives you full access to the site, which allows you to do things like adding your own news articles, posting comments to news articles, downloading files from the downloads section, and registering for events online.
Browsing the Site - Finding Tennis Information
The frontpage of the site will always display recent news and info on upcoming events. You may also browse for tennis playing oppurtunities via the main menu near the top of the page.
The right-hand bar also has a lot of good information. There are links to our Facebook and Twitter pages, a list of current and upcoming events, and a Featured Content module which displays info on current playing opportunities and other pertinent information.
Communicating With Other SMCTA Members
You can email other SMCTA members right from the site. Click on "View all Members" in the User Menu on the left. This will bring up the list of all registered profiles. Click on the user you wish to email, and then click Messages--->Send Email at the top of the profile page. Fill out the Subject and Message fields and click Send Email.
