What are community tennis events?

Community tennis events are all about fun, access, and connection. These are the festivals, expos, pop-up “try it” sessions, family days, and celebrations that welcome everyone, whether you have played for years or have never picked up a racquet. Most are free or low-cost, no experience or equipment required.

Unlike leagues and tournaments, these events are not about winning. They are about discovering the game, meeting your neighbors, and experiencing why tennis is the healthiest, friendliest sport around.

Types of community events

There are so many ways to get involved:

  • Tennis festivals and jamborees (think community carnival meets tennis)
  • “Try it” pop-ups at parks, festivals, and community gathering spots
  • Expos and health fairs where USTA Florida brings tennis to the crowd
  • Bring-a-friend and open play days
  • School and community days
  • Charitable and “serving for a purpose” events

Signature celebrations

Some moments bring the whole Florida tennis community together:

  • AAPI Heritage Month (May). USTA Florida celebrates the rich contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities to the sport and to Florida tennis culture.
  • Pride Month (June). Tennis is for everyone, full stop. We celebrate and welcome the LGBTQ+ community with events and activations honoring Pride across Florida.
  • Juneteenth (June). Celebrating freedom, community, and the joy of tennis together. USTA Florida honors Juneteenth with events that reflect our commitment to equity and access on and off the court.
  • Cultural and heritage celebrations. Events honoring the many communities that make Florida tennis special, throughout the year.

Bring USTA Florida to your event or expo

Planning a festival, expo, health fair, school event, or community celebration? Invite tennis. USTA Florida and our Tennis Service Representatives can help bring a fun, hands-on tennis experience to your event, from mini nets and try-it stations to giveaways and info.
