The House concurrent resolution recognizes May 2026 as National Tennis Month in Vermont, highlighting the significance of tennis in promoting health, social interaction, and community engagement. 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, which has grown to include over 550,000 members nationwide. 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 emphasizes the impressive growth in tennis participation, with over 27.3 million Americans playing in 2025, marking a significant increase from the previous year. By designating May as National Tennis Month, the USTA encourages local programs and activities to promote the sport and its benefits, helping to connect players and non-players with available courts and playing opportunities. The Vermont General Assembly's recognition of this month aims to support these efforts and enhance the visibility of tennis within the state.
