Top Tennis Experts to Share Knowledge around “Welcome To Tennis” Theme

 

For Immediate Release: September 9th, 2020

 

USTA Wyoming is offering a free Community Tennis Development Workshop on Friday, October 8th.  The workshop centers on the the theme of “Welcome To Tennis” and offers educational sessions on how to attract and retain new and returning players to tennis.

 

The workshop is open to all tennis providers, to include interested teaching professionals, physical education teachers, high school coaches & players and parks & recreation professionals and folks simply interested in learning how to deliver tennis in their communities in order to facilitate their efforts to offer compelling programming for all the new tennis players flooding into the game.

 

The Community Tennis Development Workshop will be held from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm on Friday, October 8th.  Special hotel rates are available for participants.  Registration must be completed by Wednesday, October 6th at 11:59 pm MT.  Workshop spots are limited so early registration is encouraged.  Register here.

 

“During the pandemic, tennis was fortunate to be designated as a safer sport due to it’s inherent social distancing nature.  As a result, over 4 million new players started or restarted playing, an amazing 22% increase over 2019.  This surge in participation was also indicated in tennis racquets with a 21% increase in shipments in 2020 compared to the same time period in 2019,” said USTA Wyoming Executive Director Peg Connor.  “Tennis is such a gift…everyone should have the opportunity to participate.  It is a real thrill to be able to offer this type of content to our tennis providers so they are better able to welcome all these new players to tennis in their local communities.”
