Why Play Tennis?
Because it’s fun.
Need more reasons? It’s a healthy diversion from life’s stresses. Feel the rewards of practice and persistence every time you hit a great shot. The entire family can play together for a lifetime. Tennis is a safe and healthy way to meet new people. More fun than the gym, tennis burns an average of 498 calories an hour. Friends of different tennis abilities can come together on the court to just hit around.
Net…work. Did you know that tennis is also the ultimate "contact "sport? There’s no better way to get to know someone socially or for business than to play tennis.
Whether you play with your best friend once a week in a weekend league or with your family, tennis provides a time-efficient, enjoyable way to get in shape and keep up with the people in your life and in your community.
