Tennis players from across the country — as well as some international competitors — will be swinging away during the 2010 Peach Tennis Tournament over Labor Day weekend, hoping to bring home hardware in the way of trophies.
Sponsored by the Atlanta Team Tennis Association, the city’s LGBT tennis league, the Peach is one of the bigger tournaments in the Gay & Lesbian Tennis Alliance circuit, says Bill Bradley, ATTA’s director of tournaments. The GLTA incorporates LGBT tournaments across the world, with 38 in the U.S. this year and 22 in other parts of the world.
The Peach stands out from other tournaments in the circuit for several reasons, including the high volume of female participants.

There won’t be as many athletes marching behind the Team Atlanta banner when Gay Games VIII opens in Cologne, Germany, but participants say the spirit of camaraderie and competition remains strong.
Some 160 athletes from Atlanta participated in the last Gay Games, held in Chicago in 2006. Thanks in large part to the longer distance — and therefore increased costs and vacation time requirements — only about 30 will make the trek to Germany for this year’s Games, which get underway July 31 and run through Aug. 7.

Take a bite out of the Big Peach. Or at least try to hit one out of the park.
It’s that time of year again when the Hotlanta Softball League hosts its annual Big Peach Softball Tournament, with teams coming from as far as Houston and New York to play in the competitive, but fun, tournament.

The Shiny Rugby Balls roller disco party June 12 will be the final fundraiser before the team heads to the Mark Kendall Bingham Memorial Tournament, a.k.a. the Bingham Cup.

For Debra Snell, riding in the AIDS Vaccine 200 isn’t just a fundraiser for a good cause, but a way to reclaim a level of freedom and mobility she almost lost.
