Stay Connected to Tennis
USTA Mid-Atlantic is working to offer fun, educational, and interactive videos and webinars to help keep everyone connected to the sport we all love.
Tennis has the power to reconnect and rebuild the community and USTA Mid-Atlantic, a 501(c)3 non-profit, wants to make sure this can happen, especially among those hardest hit from this pandemic. That is why USTA Mid-Atlantic Section invites you to #ServeItForward. Click here to learn how you can participate in serving it forward!
We have created live experiences, videos and fun activities for our entire tennis community to take part in while away from tennis friends, matches and practice. From scheduled live Q&As with local experts to cardio training at home, we've got plenty of content for everyone to stay engaged with their Mid-Atlantic tennis community and love of the game.
We are also sharing uplifting stories of members of our tennis community going above and beyond to help others in this time of crisis. Find stories here and let us know how you and your tennis friends are making a difference.
Take a look at some of the great resources you can enjoy at home below. We will be updating this page regularly as we have more content and dates available.
