Why Tennis

  1. Minimal Injuries – Compared to other sports, especially contact sports, tennis is very safe. Most injuries are related to overuse, but with the proper exercises, even those can be minimized or even eliminated. Everyone loves being able to have fun without the risk of injury!
  2. It’s a great stress release – Tough day at work? Go smash some balls on the tennis court! What better way to relieve stress than by hitting a ball as hard as you can. It feels great, and when they go in, it feels even better!
  3. It’s an awesome workout – Many sports are great workouts, but few sports offer the fun & anaerobic activity that tennis offers. Tennis players are almost constantly in motion, and using nearly every muscle in their body. In addition to short sprints, there are also constant changes of direction, and motion in every possible angle. It builds muscle and stamina. What’s not to love?
  4. It’s actually affordable – Tennis is very affordable, with membership fees averaging out to around $3 per week and about $2.50 per week for juniors. You can buy a quality (new) racquet for under a $100 dollars and a tin of four balls is only $10. So what are you waiting for, get started today!
  5. You can play it everywhere – We mean it, it really is played everywhere. No matter where you are, chances are there is a tennis court nearby. You can find a court and a game almost anywhere you go. And if traveling to play tennis is a plan of yours, you can find spectacular tennis resorts on almost every continent.
  6. You can play all year round – That’s right, tennis is a year round sport in Australia. Courts are designed to take extreme heat and heavy rain so there is no off season. If you get washed out or extreme heat comes into play then just play tomorrow. In fact our red porous tennis courts actually play better in the winter months, bet you didn’t know that!
  7. It’s good for your body and mind – Tennis is as mental a sport as any. You can be a great player, but not fulfil your potential if your mental game is weak. Playing tennis will help you get in good shape, but it also stimulates your mind in ways that other sports do not. Great tennis players are all mentally strong, and playing tennis will only fortify your mind, helping you out in other areas of your life as well!
  8. You don’t need to round up a team to play – All you need is a racquet, balls, and one other person to go have a great time on the tennis court. If you need a hitting partner then call the club and we will match you up with someone or join into one of our social groups.
  9. It’s social – Tennis at the amateur level is as much about fun as it is competition. It is a very social sport, allowing you to have fun with your friends and opponents not only during points, but also between, before, and after the match!
  10. You can play forever – Tennis is great for all ages. Children can start very young, often as early as three years old, and you can play until you can no longer walk. People lucky enough to live past 100 can still play the game. What other sport can you play from age 3-103?
