Tell me more about Tennis:

Tennis, as the old moniker says, is a sport for a lifetime. It’s a game that anyone can play, young and old, and from when it was invented way back in the 17th Century by us Brits on a croquet lawn, it’s developed into a hugely popular game. There can’t be too many people out there who haven’t played tennis at some point or another!

Perhaps such are the strong associations with the game and the world famous grand slam tournament, Wimbledon, people in London often associate tennis as a summer sport. And it definitely comes alive in the summer months but it’s still a great game to play in the winter. If you want to do something that’s a lot more fun than running, then it’s a great way to get some fresh air in the winter months and blow away those office cobwebs!

Is it for me:

Ironically, a lot of us are trying to get fit so we can feel better about ourselves and enjoy life more, but we don’t enjoy the process of doing it. This doesn’t have to be the case! Tennis is one of those sports that’s really good fun, social and has untold health benefits. Tennis ranks among the top five activities for most calories burned per workout – a mere 30 minutes of singles tennis and you’ll burn more calories than someone using a rowing machine or exercise bike! It’s also been shown through research by the US’s top ranked heart care facility as the ideal sport for a healthy heart!

Above all else, tennis is one of those sports that pretty much anyone can play. It’s such a simple and fun game. It’s definitely quite an addictive sport, and the more regularly you play the quicker you find yourself getting better. A little bit of tennis coaching definitely helps to iron out those dodgy shots, like maybe that gammy backhand that’s always letting you down! An average player with few weaknesses will always do better than a good player with a couple of holes in their game!

So, dust off your racket and come and taster tennis today!
