According to a press release, USTA Jr. Team Tennis was established in 1991 and provides youth with all of the health and social benefits of tennis in a fun and competitive team environment.
It promotes social skills and important values by fostering a spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as individual self-growth. USTA Jr. Team Tennis is also a fun environment for kids to learn that succeeding is really more about how they play the game.
Registrations for adult tennis leagues are now taking place for those looking to enjoy the thrill of competition while making friends in the process. Health benefits of tennis include increased burning of calories, reduction in blood pressure and reduced stress.
These benefits play a role in reducing a person’s risk of heart disease, the number one life-threatening disease among men and women.
USTA Leagues offer several programs throughout the year that vary by gender, age and skill level. Formats also vary by offering singles, doubles and mixed doubles. Teams and leagues are set up by skill level which means matches will be fun and competitive.
