The European Racquet Stringers Association (ERSA) was founded in the Summer of 2001 as a partner corporation with the United States Racquet stringers Association. After one and one half years, we decided to become an association instead of a corporation and separated from the USRSA. We still have a cooperation and offer the same Certification Tests as the USRSA. We have over 3,000 members in over 30 countries including leaders of the racket sports industry, racket specialists, teaching professionals, sporting goods retailers, manufacturers, sales organizations and racket sports enthusiasts. The magazine Racquet Tech Europe is published in English and German. Our ERSA Stringer’s Digest, Study Guides and Tests are now available in French, Spanish and Italian.

The mission of the ERSA is to educate their members and consumers to better understand, servicem perform with and enjoy all the technological wonders of rackets, strings, balls, courts, shoes and stringing machines. The ERSA accomplishes these goals through information technology products, Racquet Tech Europe magazine, The ERSA Stringer’s Digest, http://www.ersa-stringers.com, ERSA e-Newsletter, workshops, certification and product testing.
