Advocacy

Big Serve Logo


MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY!

The Big Serve is the USTA's advocacy initiative. The effort is aimed at connecting the passion of USTA members and the larger tennis community with the public policy needs of the communities in which they live. We know that tennis is a sport that can change lives and improve communities, but our charge as tennis advocates is to convince community leaders of this in order to gain their support for:

1. The building or renovating of places to play

2. Creating new opportunities to play during after-school hours

3. Protecting varsity tennis and creating opportunities to play recreational tennis on college campuses.

If you are currently involved in a local campaign for any of the above, the USTA may be able to help. Explore resources and stories of inspiration at The Big Serve website or contact USTA Northern to set up a consultation regarding your specific situation. If you have recently completed a local campaign, your willingness to share your story could help others to complete similar initiatives. Click here to share your story.
