The benefits of sport are well known and I think tennis offers more
than most, learnt from personal and others' experience. Here are some
great ideas to excite our kids to get on the court.
¨There are tournaments all over the country and the world for all
standards. You don't have to organise a full team to go and play. Just
enter and go. My daughter loves playing tournaments during most of her
holidays and often we can drop her in the morning and pick her up when
she phones, in the knowledge that she is in a good and safe
environment. Except at higher levels, girls and boys can compete
comfortably with each other. This again makes organisation of groups
easier.
¨ Playing reasonable tennis is a fantastic leveller and allows people from different backgrounds to meet and socialise in a way that they normally would not. It is also the finest major non-contact competitive sport which helps kids learn to mentally compete as well as using their bodies.
