How to Get Started

Starting tennis can feel very hard and often people have a few questions about it.  

Where do I begin?  

Starting tennis has many options. You can take lessons at local tennis clubs. The best way to find a local tennis club is through google.  

Am I too old to start? 

The short answer is no. Tennis is a sport that can be played in the later years of someone’s life. Because of this, many people pick up tennis later in life to stay active. It is never too late to pick up tennis.  

How can I find Tournaments?  

Tennis has different tournaments at all levels and ages. The best way to find tournaments is through either the Universal Tennis Rating website or UTR for short. On the website they have many tournaments held every week so someone just must put in their location, and it will show you the closest tournaments.
