The USTA has begun teaming up to support the Adopt-a-Unit effort. Adopt-A-Unit is designed to guide tennis organizations and players to encourage them to ‘adopt’ a military unit of approximately 75-100 soldiers serving in Iraq or Afghanistan by sending care packages of necessities.
In turn, the USTA will send portable tennis equipment to the adopted unit on your behalf with instructions and educational information on tennis. The effort allows the tennis community to show support and to introduce soldiers to a recreational means for reintegrating with family, friends and community upon their return from conflict.
