Welcome to The Big Serve. We at the USTA congratulate you on taking the first step to advocate for tennis in your community. Register on this site to receive updates about tennis advocacy or to post comments. You will find some great resources on this site that will help you to build tennis facilities and create programming in your area - like handbooks and a step by step guide through the advocacy process. You will also find a link to our Facility Assistance Program, which will allow you to tap the resources at the USTA in building new or renovating existing tennis courts.
70% of tennis is played on public courts. For over ten years, the National Recreation and Park Association has partnered with the USTA to bring parks and recreation agencies Tennis in the Parks (TIP). TIP is a strategic initiative designed to help improve and expand opportunities for the public to learn and play this lifelong sport. Interested in forming a Community Tennis Association?

We look forward to your participation and to sharing all of our resources and success.
