Hamden will host a USTA Tennis Play Event in
celebration of World Tennis Day, a nationwide effort to get kids excited and
active in tennis. The event at Hamden Tennis Facility will be held March 24 from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. for $15 per participant. For more information, contact Nils Leblang at nilsleblang@yahoo.com or (203) 248-8285.
During the month of March, the USTA
will invite families and kids of all ages and skill levels to try tennis at
local events and facilities across the country—encouraging play by encouraging
kids to get on the court and in the game.
Studies have shown that an early, positive experience in sports is vital to combating physical inactivity and creating a lifelong commitment to an active lifestyle. More than a thousand facilities will host USTA Tennis Play Events this March, each showcasing how fun and easy it now is for families to get into the sport.

These events will allow parents to sign up their children for spring and summer
tennis programs.
The USTA is making it easier and more fun for
kids to get into the game—and stay in the game. With tennis now sized right for age and ability, kids play
on shorter courts, with smaller racquets, and slower, lower-bouncing balls.
Kids are able to play tennis made just for them, so they have a great time with
the game and want to keep playing and improving.
