About this Event
ZOMBIE TENNIS LEAGUE
Ideal Glass and USTA'S Red Ball Tennis are teaming up to bring tennis to the afterlife — and everyone else. Zombie Tennis, a theatrically immersive, community-powered, inviting guests to play Red Ball Tennis — a slower, beginner-friendly version of the sport — while dressed as zombies, ghosts, and other reanimated icons of the court. Whether you’ve never picked up a racquet or you’ve been training for the zombie apocalypse, the game is “so easy, even the dead can play.”
Tennis Meets the Afterlife
Inside the experimental spirit of Ideal Glass Studios, Zombie Tennis will unfold across custom-built mini court where social matches are played in full costume. Prizes will be awarded for Creepiest Serve, Funniest Zombie Walk, and Best Undead Tennis Look. Between volleys, guests can enjoy curated zombie film screenings, photo ops, dancing and interactive art — a playfully satirical “closing ceremony” for tennis season that invites fans, athletes, artists, and curious onlookers into an unexpected new arena of engagement.
