Tennis improves your life!

Tennis outperforms all other sports in developing positive personality characteristics and physical fitness development, according to Dr. Jim Gavin of Concordia University, the author of “The Exercise Habit”.

Even though the sport can be incredibly competitive, its essence is very social. It is a great way to meet new friends who share a common interest. Tennis is also quite often played in the form of doubles or mixed doubles which is a lot of fun.
