The Boothbay Region Y will host a USTA Free Tennis Play Day on Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Y Field Hoouse from 8 to 10 a.m.

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) announced that its hosting thousands of USTA Free Tennis Play Days in celebration of Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of Play throughout the country in an effort to get kids active and involved in tennis during National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month in September. USTA Free Tennis Play Days will provide kids and parents of all skill levels with the opportunity to experience tennis in a social and fun setting.

USTA Free Tennis Play Days is geared toward getting more kids to participate in tennis by using modified equipment and courts tailored to a child’s size and ability. By utilizing shorter and lighter racquets, slower-bouncing balls, smaller courts and simplified scoring, children learn to play more quickly and easily while having more fun in the process.

Please join our tennis pros for a free morning of tennis instruction which introduces the 12-year-old child and younger to tennis skills.
