Hey Miami, are you ready to cause a “racquet?” The biggest tennis party ever is coming to North Miami!
The USTA is serving up an ambitious and exciting community initiative with a series of “Tennis Block Parties” in markets nationwide. The Tennis Block Parties will bring new ways to involve and expose new and existing players to the unparalleled health and social benefits of tennis.
The Miami Block Party will be held on Sunday, September 12th, at Arthur Snyder Tennis Center, located at 16851 West Dixie Hwy North Miami Beach, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and is free to the public.
Hosted at public parks facilities, Tennis Block Parties will feature three hours of tennis instruction, interactive games, and attractions, offering people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to learn and enjoy the benefits of the game – from fun and competition to lifestyle and fitness. Skilled teaching professionals, accomplished touring pros, and special guests will guide attendees through games and skills during this day of fun and learning.
Tennis Block Party events and attractions include:
· Family Fun Zone – Parents and kids are on the court to play tennis in a fun, noncompetitive atmosphere.
· QuickStart Tennis – The fast way to learn tennis for children ages 10 & under.
· Beat the Pros – Teaching pros and top-level players take on all- comers in an abbreviated tennis match.
· How Fast is your Serve – How do you measure up to AndyRoddick?
· Hit For Prizes – Have a chance to win prizes
· Beat the Pro – Local pros and top-level players take on all comers in an abbreviated tennis match.
· Champions of the Court – Competitors can strut their stuff and remain on the court until defeated by challengers in abbreviated tennis matches.
