Stay Active with Tennis
While pickleball is peaking in popularity, tennis is a wonderful alternative to maintaining a healthy lifestyle while staying entertained! Whether playing for fun or competitively with a team, tennis provides incredible benefits in several areas of life.
Data from a study presented by the United States Tennis Association states that playing tennis for at least three hours a week can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 56%! Players can also enjoy many other benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety, weight loss and stronger muscles and bones.
Not only does tennis aid in health and entertainment, but the sport also provides a space for younger players to learn valuable life and motor skills such as teamwork, coordination and agility, problem-solving, social communication, strategic thinking and self-confidence.
