📣#USTAEastern Launches "The Sportsmanship Project"📣 Tennis is a sport built on respect. That's why we've teamed up with the MatchTennis App to recognize and reward good sportsmanship and fair play at our junior tournaments. The initiative is designed to promote a positive environment for all who participate in tennis. The Sportsmanship Project will reward nominees in the following ways: 🤝 Players who receive 5️⃣ or more nominations will receive a certificate and a refocus band. 🤝 The nominator who submits the most player nominations over the course of the year will receive a branded USTA Eastern beach towel. 🤝 The tournament director whose events have collected the most nominations will receive a backpack. 🤝 All sportsmanship nominations will be submitted to our sportsmanship subcommittee. From this pool, the subcommittee will select one player from each age group to receive Eastern's annual junior sportsmanship award. Recipients will be honored at the annual Junior Awards Gala, held each year at the #usopen. Honorees will receive two US Open grounds passes with access to Overlook Hospitality. 🔗 more info at the link in bio

Just before last week’s electric matches at The Garden Cup, @usta_eastern held a Red Ball Demo on center court! Also known as pick up tennis, red ball tennis is made for everyone. Thank you for your support USTA Eastern!

Here's to hoping for fewer double faults in 2025

For the second year in a row, the parents of @jjeasternregion_1938 were able to convince Santa to visit early! Families got in the holiday spirit with red ball tennis and Kwanzaa activities. The event was a fundraiser for @potsbronx which benefits underserved members of the Bronx community. #ustaeastern #jackandjillinc

Step aside Carlos Alcaraz, the real show at The Garden Cup was the Red Ball Tennis demo 😂 also known as pickup tennis, groups all over NYC have started using the equipment once only tapped to develop kids’ tennis skills. 🔴 It’s sort of like pickleball since it’s easy to pick up and people with zero experience can play. The only difference is that it’s muuuuch quieter and still has that satisfying tennis ball “pop” off the strings. 🔴 Would you play? 🔴 #ustaeastern #redballtennis #pickuptennis #socialtennis #thegardencup #msg

Pickup & Play Tennis Anywhere! Where should we pickup next? #tennis #tennisnightout #gardencup #thegarden #msg #usta #pickleball #nyc
