New changes and gear help kids play tennis like the pros
The United States Tennis Association is making it easier for kids to play like a pro on the tennis court.
The USTA has passed new rules governing competition for 10-and-under tennis tournaments. The new rules require that 10-and-under tournaments be played using slower-moving and lower-bouncing balls, on smaller courts and utilizing shorter, lighter racquets.
The changes also include shorter nets.
Experts say this will be a process for kids to grow into the sport, instead of re-adjusting to the equipment as they get older.
