Atlanta to Host USTA Free Tennis Play Events

By Rick Limpert @RickRoswell · On September 11, 2014

Events are going to be held to help celebrate Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of Play

Did the recently completed U.S. Open in New York make you want to dust off that tennis racquet and hit your neighborhood tennis court?

Here’s a chance for you and your children, cousins, nieces and nephews to get out and play the great sport of tennis.

During National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month in September, the USTA and the tennis industry are hosting more than a thousand USTA Free Tennis Play Events around the country in celebration of Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of Play. USTA Free Tennis Play Events allow families to share their love for tennis together – while having fun and being active.

Atlantans will have numerous opportunities to get out and play!

Here are some:

The USTA is making it easier and more enjoyable for families to get in the game of tennis – and stay in the game. Children are learning to play faster than ever before through USTA’s 10 & Under youth initiative. The thought here is getting more kids to participate in tennis using modified equipment and courts tailored to their size and ability.

USTA Free Tennis Play Events invite the whole family, of all skill levels, to try tennis at local events and facilities across the country. The events are free and open to the public, each showcasing how fun and easy it now is for families to get into the sport, as well as providing a great way for parents to spend time with their children while keeping them active.

It’s win-win for all involved.
