Webinar Watch December 2025

RSPA hosted three webinars for members in December, and all recordings are posted on Tennis Resources. However, Ramona Husaru, RSPA’s Chief Development Officer, mentioned that they are currently in the process of upgrading some IT features, and the December recordings are presently on hold until those upgrades have been completed. Maybe you should check the site regularly to see when access is available again.
