May is National Tennis Month

Start thinking about ways to celebrate this great game in your local community all month long in May!

Host a fun, unique tennis event to introduce the sport, contact your city government to see if they would make an official proclamation for May, donate to a school program, or just invite players to play at your local facility...there are lots of ways you can support this effort designed to promote awareness of our sport!
