USTA Offers Kids Ten and Under A Free Membership  |

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) today announced, it is offering a free USTA Junior Membership to all children age ten and under. The membership promotion, which launched during the July 4 holiday weekend, is open to all first-time junior members until December 31, 2011. This special USTA membership offer will allow more kids to try USTA programming including USTA Junior Tournaments and USTA Jr. Team Tennis.

In addition, participating junior members will receive a variety of benefits, including Bounce, a special quarterly publication geared toward young players and their parents, preferred ticket access to pro tennis tournaments throughout the country, and discounts on merchandise andapparel.

To join the USTA and receive the free membership, new junior members can sign up by one of the following ways using source code: NEWGAME.

The special membership offer is part of the USTA’s innovative initiative, 10 and UnderTennis, designed to help get more kids involved in the sport.  Similar to other youth sports such as soccer and baseball, 10 and Under Tennis features equipment and courts scaled to kids’ size.  Racquets are shorter and lighter, and courts are smaller.  Balls bounce lower andmove slower, thereby making them easier to hit and keep in play. Kids have fun learning the game and build confidence at the same time. These monumental changes to the sport maketennis more fun for kids by allowing them to learn and develop their skills in an enjoyable way, increasing the likelihood that kids will continue to play and continue to improve.
