National Tennis Month Events

May is National Tennis Month!

Some of the most meaningful tennis experiences in life come right from the local courts in your communities. Events close to home play a huge role in shaping your relationship to the game and making it last. 

As part of our celebrations in May, USTA Northern made grants available to providers hosting tennis events across the section to help reduce the costs associated with bringing tennis to the people.

There was a fantastic response, with more than a dozen grants going out the door to support National Tennis Month celebrations at the local level. If there's one near you, consider checking it out! Otherwise, we can think of one big way to celebrate National Tennis Month...

PLAY!

Whether it's foam ball, red ball, orange ball, green ball or yellow ball, you belong on the court and we'll see you out there!
