Tennis is one of the most popular individual sports and while you can play doubles, it still differs from team sports in a big way. It takes a huge amount of drive, passion, and skill to get good at tennis and, at the end of the day, when you lose in tennis, you often only have yourself to blame. That doesn't mean that tennis isn't also fun, though!
If you're interested in tennis, let's see how the sport got its start, how you can get yours, the advantages of learning to play at a tennis club, and how private coaching can help you to get the most out of your game.
Tennis was originally played without racquets and players would hit the ball with their palm. It's thought this game developed in monasteries France in the 12th century but by the 16th century, when racquets were introduced, the game was very popular with the English and the French.
The original game of tennis differs from the modern game as it's played on an indoor court rather than the outdoor grass, clay, hard, or artificial grass courts you may be familiar with from modern tennis. Modern (or lawn) tennis came about by taking aspects of European racquet sports like Basque pelota and playing on croquet lawns.
Even though we're referring to it as modern tennis, it's been around since the 18th century. The world's first tennis club, the Leamington Tennis Club, was founded in 1874. The first Wimbledon took place in 1877. Shortly after that, most of the major opens were started with the first iteration of the US Open in 1881, the French Open in 1891, and the Australian Open in 1905.
Since then, the popularity of tennis has grown and it's one of the world's most popular sports and the world's most popular individual sport.
While tennis is an individual sport or played in pairs, you'll need help from others if you want to start playing it. After all, you'll need an opponent or coach at the very least. For anyone in Cardiff, especially children, school is a good place to get started with tennis, especially if lessons are offered.
Tennis clubs are a great way to play tennis regularly, get coaching sessions to improve your game, or attend lessons for adults or children if you're just getting started.
Many clubs offer tennis camps for kids during the summer which is both a great way to get children interested in tennis and give them something to do during the school holidays. Of course, the membership fees for clubs can be quite costly so it might be worthwhile seeing if they're interested in tennis before signing up for longer camps.
As we've mentioned, membership in a tennis club is a good way to get started with tennis. The biggest advantage of this is that you'll often have access to sessions, courts, and lessons. However, certain services do come with extra fees so simply being a member of a tennis club won't always mean that you get immediate access to all these things.
There are often coaches available if you're looking for tennis lessons and the tennis camps we mentioned earlier. More often than not, being a member of a tennis club also means you can play tennis against the other members. This also makes it easier to find players who are at your level. While a tennis partner or coach can help, it's useful to play against the right opponents and a club is the best place to find them.
If this sounds like the right option for you, contact the local tennis clubs in Cardiff for more information on membership, coaching sessions, and tennis camps.
Another way to learn how to play tennis or improve your game is with private tennis coaching. While coaching is often offered at tennis clubs, you can also hire a private tennis teacher for an hour or two each week to work on your game.
The advantage of private coaching sessions with a tennis tutor is that you don't necessarily need a membership to a tennis club and can always rent courts as and when needed. Of course, if you and your coach are already members of a gym or health club with tennis courts, there's no reason why you couldn't enjoy private coaching sessions using these courts.
The best thing about private tutors and coaching is that they'll tailor the level of every class and session to you, how you like to learn, and what you want to learn. If you want to work on a specific aspect of your game, you can focus on this with your coach, which you wouldn't be able to do as much on a tennis camp with plenty of other attendees.
If private tennis tuition sounds like the right option for you or members of your family, you can look for private tennis coaches and tutors on the Superprof website. You can find tutors in Cardiff and around Wales in everything from tennis coaching to academic subjects like maths and English.
Just search for tennis tutors where you are and you'll be able to see what kinds of courses or coaching they offer, how much they charge per hour, what level and ages they teach, and what their other students had to say about them.
Keep an eye out on their profile to see whether or not they offer their first lesson or session for free. A lot of tutors on the Superprof website do this and it's a great way to try out tutors and coaches before choosing which one is right for you.
For those on a budget, you might want to look for tennis coaches offering group sessions. As the cost of the tutor's time is shared amongst every student in attendance, they tend to work out cheaper per hour than one-on-one tennis coaching.
