USTA QuickStart events are popping up throughout the Fort Worth-Dallas area, so please see our Flyers & Signup Sheets page for details about each one.

And here's more good news for children (and the parents who pay for their tennis lessons): The USTA is offering FREE memberships for kids up to 10 years old, but I don't know how long the USTA will be giving out these freebies, so time is of the essence.

Parents, visit www.usta.com/membership click on Junior Membership (a $19 value), and apply the promo code: JOIN2PLAY to take advantage of this USTA offer. USTA memberships have many benefits, and we all love things that are free.

This USTA promotion also is great for tennis pros, because it can help more children enroll in camps, tournaments and the like. So pros and parents should spread the word.
