The ball is in Asheville’s court. The Land of the Sky is one of just six cities in the country to host the US Open’s new Family Day event.
This Sunday, Aug. 24, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., athletes of all ages and skill levels are invited to the Aston Park Tennis Center to share the love of the game and spark some excitement for the international Grand Slam tournament, which starts the same day.
Spend the day on the court working up a sweat with cardio tennis games, or make your first foray into the game with red ball tennis — a modified version of the game that’s perfect for beginners. No need to bring equipment.
Even if you don’t play, you can participate in the fanfare with the tournament projected on the big screen, food, and an ice cream truck. Registration is preferred.
