10 and Under Tennis - The Rules Have Changed

As of January 1, 2012, the rules for 10 and Under Tennis have changed based on rule changes passed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the United States Tennis Association (USTA).

For the most part, or in whole, these rules affect the physical and equipment parameters of the game - court dimensions, rackets and balls.

I truly hope the best for the ITF and USTA in being successful in this venture, but more so, the kids, parents and organizers. Us adults may have to find a way to sneak away from work during school hours to find an available court in the coming years, but so be it. In 10 or 15 years we may see more Americans in the top rankings and in the Slams - Yesss! It may be a good time to be in the tennis court construction business.
