Nowadays, it's easy to find a qualified teacher to get you started playing tennis and to coach you as you develop your skill. Even if you can't afford one-on-one lessons, there are small-group classes at YMCAs, community colleges, neighborhood recreation centers, local schools and many other venues.
In addition, there are DVDs, videos and even software to help you learn the finer points of the game.
