Arkansas Tennis Association -

Attention PE Teachers! 🚨🎾🏫 As you head back to school for another year, we want to ensure you know about the free tennis equipment grants available for all K-12 schools in Arkansas. New Net Generation Kits: The USTA provides all K-12 PE teachers (public, private, and homeschool groups) with free red ball equipment, curricula, and training to offer their students a tennis unit using any PE space - no courts required. Contact Kristin Webb at NWASchools@arktennis.com to apply for the initial equipment grant. New equipment kits are shipped throughout the school year (late August through late May.) Red Ball Refresh Grant: For PE teachers who already have tennis equipment, the USTA Arkansas Red Ball Refresh grant can provide you with extra balls, grips, racquets, and other supplies to supplement your existing equipment. 👉 Apply for additional equipment for your PE tennis program by August 23: https://www.jotform.com/form/240235211971953 | If you have been awarded a grant, you will be notified on August 27. 🔗 Before submitting your application, please renew your PE class registration on the USTA website: https://www.usta.com/en/home/myaccount/schools.html Need help?
