USTA Statement on Relocation of Easter Bowl - Feb. 12, 2021
Due to the situation surrounding COVID-19 and local government restrictions, the decision was made to move the 2021 adidas Easter Bowl to the Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego. The tournament will be played on its scheduled dates.
Per the ITF’s “Return to Tennis” guidelines, the Easter Bowl’s 18s draws will be reduced to 48 players. All other divisions will feature a 64-player draw.
In addition, the International Open of Southern California, a Grade 1 ITF junior event traditionally held in Carson, Calif., will also move to the Barnes Tennis Center the week prior to the Easter Bowl.
The health and safety of the entire tennis community is our top priority. As of June 1, the suspension of USTA Sanctioned products and events is now at the discretion of the USTA Sections and local health authorities.
Tennis Safety: Players

The USTA has created a "Playing Tennis Safely" document for players, in conjunction with its Medical Advisory Group and its Industry partners.
Tennis Safety: Facilities

Tennis providers, coaches and facilities across the country are all different and operate in different local contexts. It is the responsibility of each tennis provider, coach and facility to make that assessment based on their local environment.
