BACKGROUND:
Studies
have shown that an early, positive experience in sports is vital to
combatting physical inactivity and creating a lifelong commitment to an
active lifestyle. More than
a thousand facilities will host USTA Tennis Play Events this March,
each showcasing how fun and easy it now is for families to get into the
sport. These events will allow parents to sign up their children for
spring and summer tennis programs.
The USTA is making it easier and more fun for kids to get into the game—and stay in the game.
With
tennis now sized right for age and ability, kids play on shorter
courts, with smaller racquets, and slower, lower-bouncing balls. Kids
are able to play tennis made
just for them, so they have a great time with the game and want to keep
playing and improving.
