The Tennis in the Parks Initiative places an emphasis on promoting both the sport of tennis and increasing support for and visibility of park and recreation agencies nationwide. In an effort to better understand the needs of park and recreation agencies nationwide and to distribute Tennis in the Parks resources and technical assistance, we have set up an online registration system that allows every park and recreation agency to officially register and be recognized by the United States Tennis Association and National Recreation and Park Association. Register your park and recreation agency today!
Park and recreation agencies play a critical role in communities, providing millions the opportunity to be physically active. In fact, 70 percent of all tennis is played on public facilities, and park and recreation agencies are largely responsible for programming these tennis activities and maintaining these public facilities.
After completing the online registration and being approved as a Tennis in the Parks agency, you will be eligible to receive resources, such as:
- New tennis program material
- Discounts on tennis equipment
- Marketing material to support and promote your programs
- Technical advice for programs and facility maintenance and construction
- Grants, awards and scholarships for program enhancement and facility improvement/construction (additional applications required)
Resource allocation for the 2011 Tennis in the Parks Initiative will be based on your priorities to grow and develop community tennis programming. Resources will be distributed as supplies last.
For-profit and commercial organizations are not eligible to participate.
