The resolution recognizes May 2025 as National Tennis Month in Vermont, commemorating the 144th anniversary of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association, now known as the United States Tennis Association (USTA). Established on May 21, 1881, the USTA has grown to include over 500,000 members and promotes tennis at all levels, from beginners to professionals. The organization is known for sponsoring the annual U.S. Open and has initiatives like the Adaptive Tennis Grant Program to encourage participation across diverse demographics.

The resolution highlights the significant role of tennis in American sports culture, noting that approximately 25.7 million Americans played tennis in 2024, according to a survey by the Physical Activity Council. By designating May 2025 as National Tennis Month, the Vermont General Assembly aims to showcase the sport and its benefits, while also directing the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to USTA New England.
