The Best-Kept Secret for Active Adults: Red Ball Tennis
For many of us, staying active and engaged in sports becomes even more important as we get older. We want to enjoy our favorite activities without the risk of injury. That's why we're so excited to introduce you to Red Ball Tennis, a fantastic new program from the USTA that's perfect for the 55+ crowd.
While you might think of Red Ball Tennis as a sport for kids, we've discovered it's a hidden gem for older adults, particularly those who play pickleball or tennis. It's a great way to improve your skills and get a great workout in a more relaxed and forgiving environment.
Why is Red Ball Tennis a Game-Changer?
Less Chance of Injury
The modified court and softer, lower-bouncing balls mean fewer sudden direction changes, significantly reducing the risk of twists and sprains.
A More Relaxed & Fun Game
The slower pace and easier-to-hit balls let you get into a "flow" state faster, so you can focus on strategy and having fun.
The Perfect Bridge
It’s an ideal way to transition between pickleball and tennis, helping you maintain agility, coordination, and a love for the game.
