National Tennis Month Programming Near You
National Tennis Month is an opportunity for everyone to get involved and spread their love of tennis. Designating a month of promotion for tennis gives coaches, facilities, Parks & Recs, Community Tennis Associations and NJTLs a platform to drive awareness and help bring new players into local programs, inspire lapsed players to pick the sport back up and energize existing players to play more. As your partner in play, the USTA is providing resources, ideas and support.
We hope National Tennis Month will be an annual promotional window that works to drive a spike in awareness, registrations, media attention and local program success leading into the key summer months.
Please use this page as an opportunity to highlight local tennis programming and view opportunities near you. To view our 2024 Proclamations of National Tennis Month, click here.
