The House Concurrent Resolution recognizes May 2026 as National Tennis Month in Vermont, highlighting the significance of tennis as a sport that promotes health, social interaction, and education. The resolution notes the founding of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) on May 21, 1881, and its role as the national governing body for tennis in the U.S., which has grown to include over 550,000 members. The USTA's initiatives, such as the USTA Adaptive Tennis Grants, aim to make tennis accessible to individuals of all ages and abilities, contributing to healthier and happier communities in Vermont.

The resolution also references a notable increase in tennis participation, with over 27.3 million Americans playing in 2025, marking a 6.2 percent rise from the previous year. By designating May as National Tennis Month, the USTA encourages local programs and activities that promote the sport and its benefits, helping to connect players and non-players with tennis opportunities in their communities. The General Assembly's recognition of this month aims to support these efforts and enhance the visibility of tennis in Vermont.
