USTA Grant Encourages 10 & Under Tennis

Painting permanent 36' and 60' tennis lines for 10 and Under tennis at your facility is the next step in permanently changing the face of Kids Tennis in America. The USTA wants to partner with your community to help you accomplish this common goal, and grow youth tennis to its fullest.

The USTA has pledged funding to be awarded on a "first come, first served" basis as approved by the USTA to communities across the country to assist with the painting of 36' and 60' tennis lines on existing courts in good condition.  Since 2010 over 10,000 courts have been built or permanently lined for 10 & under tennis.

To apply and get approved, complete a USTA Facility Assistance Form at http://ct.usta.com/pfa/ (It takes just a few minutes -  Be sure to check "National Line Grant").

Once approved by the USTA and after the lines have been painted and approved for reimbursement by the USTA your department will receive 75% reimburse-

ment for the cost of lining the courts; with a check covering 50% of the cost from USTA national, another check from USTA New England covering 25% of the cost.
