USTA enforcing new youth tennis regulations
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.
Kids used the new equipment at the BNP Paribas Open Thursday.
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.
