Discover Red Ball Tennis
The United States Tennis Association (USTA) is revolutionizing the way we think about tennis with its new initiative to make the sport more accessible to all. By introducing programs like Red Ball Tennis, the USTA is bringing new excitement to tennis, making it easier for newcomers to engage with the game. The USTA's initiative focuses on creating beginner-friendly environments and ensuring that tennis is a sport for all ages and skill levels.
Red Ball Tennis is a modified form of tennis designed to make the sport more accessible and enjoyable, especially for beginners and younger players. Using smaller courts, lower nets, and slower-moving balls, Red Ball Tennis makes it easier to learn the game and improve skills quickly. It's all about having fun while mastering the fundamentals of tennis
🎾 Red Ball Tennis Equipment
To play Red Ball Tennis, you'll need some modified equipment that is perfectly suited to younger or novice players:
Smaller Court: A Red Ball Tennis court measures 36 feet by 18 feet, making it easier to cover ground and keep the rally going.
23" Racquet: The smaller racquet is designed for players to have better control and easier handling.
Slower, Red Tennis Balls: These balls move at a slower speed and have a lower bounce, making them perfect for learning the game and building confidence.
Our Red Ball Tennis Initiatives
At T.R.I.N.I.T.Y., we are passionate about making tennis accessible to everyone in our community, and Red Ball Tennis is a key part of that mission. We’ve developed several initiatives to bring this exciting version of tennis to both youth and adults
🎾 Red Ball Tennis Trailblazers Program
Our flagship youth program, Red Ball Tennis Trailblazers, is designed for kids ages 11-14. This program will provide structured coaching and fun activities that introduce kids to the fundamentals of tennis in a supportive environment. We’ll be partnering with local community organizations or churches to host this program during the winter and spring months, with plans to offer a summer camp version starting in 2025!
Tennis isn’t just for kids! Our Adult Red Ball Indoor Clinics offer a great way for adults to learn or refine their skills in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. Whether you're a beginner or brushing up on old skills, these clinics are perfect for learning tennis at a comfortable pace. All proceeds will support our nonprofit’s efforts to empower youth through tennis.
Bringing tennis to the community is one of our top priorities, which is why we’re excited to offer Pop-Up Red Ball Tennis Demo Stations at local events. These pop-up stations provide a hands-on opportunity for families and kids to experience Red Ball Tennis for themselves. We’ll set up two red ball courts at community events, providing equipment and instructors to guide participants. It's a fantastic way to introduce tennis to new players and make the sport accessible to all.
We believe that everyone deserves the chance to play and enjoy the game of tennis. Our Red Ball Tennis programs are designed to bring the fun and excitement of tennis to people of all ages and skill levels. Join us on the court!
