Asheville has been chosen as one of six locations across the United States to host a new US Open Family Day event. The free event is scheduled for Sunday, August 24, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Aston Park Tennis Center, located at 336 Hilliard Ave in Asheville.
The US Open Family Day aims to introduce tennis to families and community members of all ages and experience levels. Attendees can participate in on-court activities such as Red Ball Tennis and Cardio Tennis. The event will also feature a live tournament watch party on a giant projector screen, food and refreshments, and an ice cream truck. All necessary equipment will be provided for participants.
Registration is preferred but not required for those interested in attending.
Debbie Southern, USTA North Carolina First Vice President and Past President of the Asheville Tennis Association, said: “We are super excited for Asheville to be chosen as one of six cities in the US to host US Open Family Day! This event will bring our tennis community together for a day of fun games, food and fellowship! Hopefully we will introduce tennis to new adults and children, too!”
The event is organized through a partnership between the USTA, Asheville Tennis Association, Explore Asheville, and the Asheville Buncombe Regional Sports Commission.
