Tennis
Tennis is a sport that will challenge your child mentally, spiritually and physically while encouraging them to enjoy an active lifestyle. If you are looking for interesting after-school classes, tennis will be an excellent choice.
Tennis can be played by both able-bodied and disabled people of all ages and can be played indoors in places such as a school sports hall. It is a game that requires concentration, strategy and skill and is great for developing key skills such as balance, coordination, accuracy and agility
Top Benefits of Tennis for Children
- Tennis will keep your child moving: Tennis burns off plenty of energy, so it is one of the best kids’ activities to tire out energetic children and to ensure that they are enjoying a healthy, active lifestyle.
- Tennis uses the brain as well as the body: Tennis is a very tactical sport. It teaches children to plan and think for themselves including analysing the way other people think. Your child will learn how to outthink their opponents quickly in order to succeed in their matches. Playing tennis releases the feel-good hormones known as endorphins, which can improve mental health, reduce stress and lower your risk of conditions like depression.
- Tennis for children improves balance and posture: Tennis will help your child to develop better balance and agility while holding the racket, which can help to keep them steady when they are enjoying other sports.
- Timing is key in tennis: Tennis requires good timing, which is an ability that your child will be able to apply in other sports, and in their music lessons and other kids’ activities as well. It is also great for improving hand-eye coordination and reflexes, which will be similarly useful elsewhere.
- Tennis improves concentration: Tennis in their after-school classes will teach your child how to stay focused and follow instructions carefully. These are important skills that your child will be able to apply in school and during other kids activities.
