Health Benefits of Playing Tennis

By Angela Gymmy


At the mere mention of tennis players the names that invariably come to mind are Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Ivan Lendl, and Rod Laver. In the annals of tennis these people have gained popularity by showing their noteworthy playing abilities. The skills they have shown on the court are enough to justify their international acclaim. They have paved the way for all tennis players.

The picture that comes to mind when one thinks of tennis drills is an instructor constantly feeding balls to a line of people. This sort of exercise is called "dead-ball drill". While it's still used today, it is probably not the most effective way to prepare students for matches. Players only hit one or a few balls every so often, and they don't take part in a point.

Players who practice "dead-ball drills" constantly perform really poorly in matches. It is mostly because the instructor feeds the balls perfectly to the students. Consistent feeds prevent players from adjusting to different kinds of balls. "Dead-ball drills" however are the most useful kinds of footwork drills.

Once you have secured the racquet, begin by measuring out between thirty and fort feet worth of string. Begin with the main strings at the head of the racquet, going down to the neck and back up. Continue doing this while also placing the clamp and applying tension at each necessary point until done.

Benefits of Registering in Tennis Clubs This registration offers you a way to become a vital part of an organization that is solely responsible for the development and promotion of tennis players. These clubs may also provide sports injury insurance to their registered members. Other benefits may include: * Personal accident insurance * Monthly e-newsletter mentioning territory talks * Permission to participate in sanctioned tournaments * Eligibility in tennis development programs

Properly designed tennis drills offer the most crucial ingredient which is fun. Every tennis coach should attempt to make drills game-like and engaging. Boring and mundane exercises can drive any player to certain burn-out. It is very important for instructors not to lose the attention and interest of students with fresh drills and games. It is always challenging for tennis instructors to come up with new tennis drills again and again.

Tennis coaches are typically reluctant to share their drills and keep them privately. This is very counterproductive. All tennis professionals would really benefit from sharing their knowledge instead of guarding it.
