POSITIVE Side to Playing High School Tennis:
Plenty of Court Time!
On non-match days, they hit about 2 hours a day, grooving strokes, running through tennis drills and exercising. On match days they play matches and watch team-mates play matches.
Wonderful Team Atmosphere
Although tennis is an individual sport, playing high school tennis provides the players with the benefits of team sports. Such as camaraderie, cooperation, and social interaction skills.
Fun Peer Group Socialization
Team tennis encourages players to be more sociable in different environments. They have to deal with different people, who may or may not be their friends. The van trips alone, to and from matches are a blast.
