Senate Resolution No. 2053

BY: Senator LIU

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 2026, as Tennis Month in the State of New York

 WHEREAS, The great State of New York recognizes and appreciates the
importance of sports such as tennis as a leisure activity, as an
essential aspect of our educational system, and as a profession, and
applauds those who devote themselves to training, often for many years,
developing their skills, honing their talents, and gaining mental acuity
and a well-earned sense of self-esteem; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Tennis Month in the State
of New York, in conjunction with the observance of National Tennis
Month; and

 WHEREAS, Tennis has long served as a source of recreation, physical
fitness, and community engagement for people of all ages and
backgrounds; and

 WHEREAS, Participation in tennis continues to grow across the United
States, reflecting the sport's broad appeal and lifelong benefits; and

 WHEREAS, Tennis promotes physical health, mental well-being,
teamwork, discipline, and social connection, while encouraging active
lifestyles in communities throughout New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Local tennis programs, parks, schools, and community
organizations play a vital role in making the sport accessible to
individuals of all ages and abilities; and

 WHEREAS, The latest research by the Physical Activity Council shows
that more than 23.6 million Americans played tennis in 2022, an
unprecedented 33 percent increase in participation over 2019 and the
highest number of players since the PAC study began in 2007; and

 WHEREAS, The month of May is recognized as National Tennis Month to
encourage players, organizations, facilities, retailers, and communities
to promote local tennis programs and activities, showcase the sport and
its benefits, and help individuals discover opportunities to play in
their communities; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Tennis Month
in the State of New York, and extend to all those affiliated with the
organization sincere best wishes for the future; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
