Video: Michelle Obama, USTA, Andre Agassi Announce "Let's Move"

USA First Lady Michelle Obama teamed up with USTA's ambassadors Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf for the "Let's Move" campaign whose intiative is to fight childhood obesity.

Kurt Kamperman, USTA chief executive, said, “Every kid is at risk to be sedentary. There’s so much you can do that’s passive now that wasn’t the case 20 years ago.”

"Let's Move" hopes to encourage children to eat a healthy diet and excercise at least 60 minutes a day.
The USTA is forwarding the 10 and Under tennis program to come to life with smaller rackets, different balls more appropiate for children, and minimizing the court so the game is more playable and accessible.
