The US Open tennis tournament is a great place to bring the family. Sporting events can provide great lessons and spark the interest of a child in the sport. And there is nothing better than having a lifelong hobby like the sport of tennis. So the US Open, which takes place at the end of August and the beginning of September, realized that it’s important to include children and families in the tournament. That is why they have included their first ever family day at this year’s US Open tennis tournament.
The family day at the US Open tennis tournament, which takes place in Flushing Meadows, New York will be Tuesday September 1st, 2009. There are going to be many activities that are geared towards families to make that day at the tournament one to remember for adults and children alike. Some of the events are things like fun kid-friendly entertainment like stilt walkers and face painting. Also children can enjoy the Smash Zone at the US Open, which is an interactive fan experience at the US Open. It is sure to be a memorable and once in a lifetime experience for you and your family. And a little family togetherness is just a great way to experience the US Open tennis tournament.
If you can’t make it for family day, the tournament also has Arthur Ashe Kid’s Day. This takes places on Saturday August 29th, 2009. This day combines tennis with music to make for a fun filled day that kids and parents will enjoy. This year, former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks will be performing her new single at the event called “Battlefield.” This is combined with tennis matches that are played by former US Open winner Andy Roddick so that kids can get a close up look at some of their favorite tennis stars. There will also be interactive games and tennis clinics so that the kids can work on their game while they are at the open.
