Learning Tennis Has Never Been Easier

Once upon a time, relatively few individuals had the means to learn to play tennis.

Sure, almost anyone could get hold of a racquet and find someone--usually another rank beginner--to swat balls with on a public court. But competent tennis teachers were either hard to find or charged too much for the average would-be player.

Nowadays, it's easy to find a qualified teacher to get your started playing tennis and to coach you along as you develop your skill. Even if you can't afford one-on-one lessons, there are small-group classes going on all the time at YMCAs, community colleges, neighborhood recreation centers, local schools and numerous other venues.

In addition, there are DVDs, videos and even software to help you learn the finer points of the game--and in the comfort of your living room or home office.

As this page is developed, we will share with you our research into tennis instructional media.  We'll help you understand what you can realistically expect to learn through the use of these innovative new methods of teaching tennis.

Visit again soon. We'll be up and running with the latest information on high-tech tennis instruction and where to find it.
