USTA announces partnership with the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition alongside Second Gentleman

As part of the partnership between the USTA and the PCSFN, both entities will work together to bring national health and nutrition programming to communities where tennis is played. While the USTA joins 14 other sports entities, including professional leagues and players’ associations, it is the first National Governing Body and racquet sport to make this commitment to the federal advisory committee, which promotes nutrition and physical activity for all. 

“I'm honored to share that the USTA is the newest sports association and the first racquet sport to join this historic partnership,” Emhoff said at the event. “As part of this commitment, the USTA will work with the President's Council to promote wellness by growing the game of tennis and making it more accessible to all. By promoting healthy lifestyles to the millions of people who engage with tennis every year, the USTA will make a positive impact on the physical and mental health of people all across the nation.”

In her remarks, Long discussed the importance of working together in order to achieve larger goals surrounding physical health, fitness and nutrition. Blake echoed those comments, saying that it’s great to see government, governing bodies and great events like the Miami Open join forces to make a positive impact.

The USTA is joining the NFL, NBA, WNBA and more in the historic partnership. 

“We're so pleased to expand the range of our partnerships to now include the U.S. Tennis Association,” Gracia said during the media event. “The leagues, associations and players are already doing such a great job to support youth in their communities, and through these partnerships, we can help to amplify and find creative opportunities for future collaboration. The President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition stands ready to work with USTA, and we thank them for their partnership.”
