The status of youth sport in the USA has been in a gradual downturn over the past decade which has resulted in kids not getting the appropriate amount of physical activity. The USTA has recently created Net Generation, a new youth brand, to join other Sporting National Governing Bodies in attracting and retaining more youth and to get them playing sports for a lifetime. Net Generation was created with an American (Athletic) Development Model in mind that conforms to seven participatory principles.
