Tell us what you found

What to send

Email is read by a person. A clear subject line helps more than a long message, and a link is worth more than a description.

• Corrections. Send the page address, the passage, what is wrong, and a source if you have one. The corrections policy explains what happens next.
• Story tips. A court, a club, a person, or a problem worth writing about. Tell us why it matters to a recreational player and what you know that we would not find on a first search. Please do not send someone else's private story without their permission.
• Court and place recommendations. Where you play, what the surface and schedule are like, and what a visitor should know. We do not pretend to have visited everywhere we write about, so a local's correction is genuinely useful.
• Gear questions. What you play with now, what hurts, and what you are considering. We cannot test every paddle, but reader questions shape what the desk covers.
• Privacy and data questions. Ask what is stored, where it came from, or how to have it removed. See the privacy policy first if you want the short answer.

How quickly we reply

A human editor reads the inbox. We aim to acknowledge a message within five working days. Corrections and privacy requests come first. Story tips may not get a reply at all if we cannot use them, which is not personal.

We do not run press releases, sponsored posts, or paid placements, so there is no need to send a media kit. If you represent a product we should know about, tell us what it is and how it is different, and do not send free gear expecting coverage. Free gear does not buy a mention.

What we cannot help with

We are not clinicians. We cannot diagnose an injury, interpret a scan, or tell you whether to play through pain. Those are conversations with your own doctor or physical therapist. The body and health writing is general and practical, not personal medical advice.
