We signed my kids up for tennis lessons last year.  Its was great to watch them learn the basics and discover the wonderful sport that is tennis.  Now I realize that this activity might not be for every family but I have enjoyed it with my kids so much that I thought it would be wrong not to share.

What’s really cool about kids tennis is that their is some amazing equipment out there that is made just for them.  The main tennis equipment needed is a racket.  A regular adult sized racket is not recommended for you kids (even just for a single session).  The reason for this is that a large adult tennis racket is much to long and heavy for little ones strength.

You are risking your kids to become seriously injured by swinging this kind of racket around, even for a short period of time.

However, if you provide the that is made for them, you will find that they 1) enjoy themselves more 2) improve their game very quickly 3) avoid shoulder injuries

OK, so if you have the right equipment, then its time to put it to use.  I recommend you get your kids a few lessons.  It will pay off in years of fun.  It will also be a way to keep you and your family in shape.  Tennis is one of the best sports you can learn for good health.

So what are you waiting for.  Get your kids some lessons (and get yourself some lessons too for that matter).  Then you’ll have a free and fun activity you can bond with your family for years and years to come.
