The United States Tennis Association (USTA) celebrated the refurbishment and creation of 10,000 youth-sized tennis courts in the United States as part of USTA’s commitment to First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative.

A special celebratory event, Court 10K, was held on March 19 at the Tamiami Tennis Center in Miami to commemorate this exceptional milestone. The celebration featured U.S. Fed Cup captain Mary Joe Fernandez. The host site, Tamiami Tennis Center, is emblematic of the 10,000 courts that have been installed throughout the country.
