Why Play Tennis?
- Longevity - A large study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2018 found that people who regularly played tennis lived, on average, 9.7 years longer than people who didn't exercise - this was longer than any other sport studied!
- Lifelong Sport - Tennis is a sport that can be played at any age. Whether you are an athletically gifted junior, or a senior, the intensity of tennis can be tailored to and enjoyed at your level. So tennis is not only a sport which can help you live longer, but a sport that can truly be enjoyed for a lifetime.
- Quality of Life - Tennis is an excellent sport to help improve cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health, as well as improve balance and coordination. Participating in regular aerobic exercise helps reduce the risk of issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke. Tennis also improves your muscular strength and balance, decreasing falls risk and allowing you to live better for longer.
- Youth Development - Tennis offers substantial benefits for youth development. In addition to the clear physical benefits, tennis helps sharpen problem-solving skills and focus, and enhances resilience. Tennis also cultivates key life skills such as discipline, respect, and persistence, which may translate to academic success. It also enhances both fine and gross motor skills, and is an excellent sport to help young children develop their motor performance and coordination.
