Tennis is after all, just a sport. So why is it so important to invest? Because the benefits of playing tennis are unique to this sport and have national implications. Yes, tennis truly matters.
A game for all Ages:
Unlike most other sports, tennis can be played at any age, with friends and family, and in competition.
A Game for Life:
A study in the American Journal of Medicine showed that tennis has the highest rate of sustainability: 33% of men who played in their 20s continued to play in mid-life, providing healthy long-term benefits.
A Game for Everyone:
Tennis is one of the only sports where able-bodied and wheelchair players can play together.
A Game that’s Healthier:
As a low-impact, non-contact sport, tennis produces fewer injuries. In 2005, Consumer Reports ranked singles tennis as one of the best calorie-burning workouts, particularly good for the upper and lower body, offering significant cardiovascular and weight bearing benefits.
A Game that is Inexpensive:
The cost of balls and a racquet are minimal and in some places public courts are widely available. The public courts in Nelson leave a lot to be desired but the Nelson Tennis Club provides three beautifully finished courts with lighting for the evenings. And you cannot beat the price - $150 for a single, $250 for a couple, Family with children under 18, $300, Juniors under 18, $70 with six weeks of instruction. Included in our membership are monthly tennis clinics and clinics specifically for new members who are learning the game or want to renew skills. Club members have access to the Granite Pointe Golf Club facilities and restaurant and get one 18 hole round of golf with their membership.
