Tennis is Awesome

Tennis has so many benefits, including social, physical and emotional

Social

For all its individuality, tennis can be a remarkably social game. Contesting a game of doubles, playing in a team at club level, joining a group tennis lesson or Cardio Tennis workout, bringing a plate of food to a social tennis competition, or heading away with a group of friends for an Easter tournament - are all ways in which tennis can bring people together.
In doubles, the necessary strategies and communication involved is great for building teamwork skills. Plus, there are several opportunities to provide encouragement to your partner and enjoy the support they offer to you, which is a whole extra element to hitting tennis balls.
Physical

Tennis classifies as a form of high-intensity exercise. Being a vigorous form of exercise, tennis is therefore associated with a reduced risk of high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes and some cancers, while assisting weight loss and increasing metabolism and muscle mass. For kids, it helps to developdevelops their hand-eye coordination, gross motor control (through court movement and ball striking), fine motor control (through finessed drop shots and angled volleys), balance and body coordination, all the while building acceleration, speed, leg strength, agility and flexibility.
Emotional

Exercising serves as a welcome distraction from the stresses of everyday life; you can’t think about these when you’re concentrating on beating an opponent on the match court.
