Grand Prize Winner to Receive Ultimate Family Trip for Four to the 2012 US Open
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., April 8, 2011 – The USTA announced today an online sweepstakes to promote the game of tennis to the parents of young children. The 10 and Under Tennis Home Court Championship Sweepstakes launched on April 1 and will conclude on September 15, 2011.
The USTA will be giving away one free home tennis kit daily during the 168-day-period. Additionally, the Grand Prize winner will receive the ultimate family trip for four to New York City, including four tickets to the 2012 US Open in Flushing Meadows, Queens. To enter, please visit www.10andUnderTennis.com.
The 10 and Under Tennis initiative is part of an ongoing effort to encourage young people across the country to get active and start playing the sport. Similar to other youth sports where equipment and playing fields are scaled-to-size for kids, 10 and Under Tennis, utilizing the QuickStart Tennis play format, gives children age 10 and under the chance to achieve immediate success.
These monumental changes to the sport make tennis more fun for kids by allowing them to learn and develop their skills in an enjoyable way, increasing the likelihood that they will continue to play and continue to improve. With lower-bouncing balls and shorter, lighter racquets sized right for each child, one can play in the driveway or on the blacktop – no courts required.
