info202,
He posted the link incorrectly. You have to remove the ./ at the end for it to load.

The site has poor color choices. Red on black is a bad choice for readability. The menu works differently on the tennis page than on other pages.
Some of the images seem out of place. Like you just threw them up without much thought.
What is the thing in the upper left corner. Looks like a 'V' over 'HYS' Is that a logo? Does not make much sense where it is.

On the home page, there is gray text on black, almost impossible to read. Since one is an attempt at a tagline, it should be much more prominent.

Overall, the site does not represent outdoor, airy types of sports to me. I think the colors should be lighter and the layout a bit more planned.

Hope this helps.

In addition to the poor color choices, you have absolutely no text ... how is your visitor/viewer to know what this site is about... currently, it looks as if this site is just a place to throw up some graphics...
and speaking of graphics, you should either make the ones you have transparent or be sure that they blend into the background... as in, white on white.
Black background is usually indicative of an amateur site or one that is devoted to music of a modern genre.
I noticed that you use Front page to do this site... there are many FP templates that you can buy that will help in making your site more professional... you can try the following sites:
pixelmill.net or templateresources.com
Both has inexpensive templates... and you/your company should spend a few dollars to create a site that is professional..

Hope this helps

In addition to my previous comments, I would like to mention that if you are the owner of HSY, you should consider hiring a web designer to do your site... you should bring your company expertise and the designer should bring his designing expertise and together you could have a good site.
I have seen some very bad company websites done, especially with Front Page {which I happen to use}, because it comes preloaded with the office suite and the company owner/officer feels that they can create a website with it (on their own), rather than hire someone to do a good job for them.
