Tennis in General

Tennis is a fantastic sport, which can be played across the world - whilst at home, on holiday, at school or university. There is just a few things you need - a court, two rackets, some tennis balls and a friend to play with! It's a non-contact sport although you may have balls flying towards you at points. It's really fun to play and keeps you fit as if you and your partner are good, you will be running around the court. There are loads of different rackets you can buy from makes such as Slazenger, Head and Prince. There are also loads of balls available including those from Wilson, which are my favourite to play with. It's quite a simple sport but ...  Read the complete review

Think Tennis and Wimbledon and strawberries and cream are one of the first things that come to mind. To the actual game itself though and it is enjoyable to both play and watch. I still haven't been to Wimbledon even though I live so close. I am hoping to go this year though hopefully!

Tennis is one of the sports that I really like to watch on television. As a child and young adult I used to play a lot, in a league club. Work took over and I stopped playing, which in hindsight was a big shame. My new found interest is through my children. They went on a funday to introduce them to tennis.

To my delight, it is very reasonably priced. We pay around £60 per term, one hour lesson per week, per child. The group is of a nice size of about 8-12 children all of similar ability.
