Here is why tennis is the ultimate social sport

When booking a tennis court is so fast and easy, tennis is your go-to for catch-ups with mates

We’re all on the lookout for opportunities to connect with our friends. For most of us it’s at the local pub, but sometimes we forget to consider other ways to hang with mates…because party vibes don’t have to come with hangovers.

Well, why not make it a game of tennis? Tennis is a game that can be as competitive or chill as you like. You can carry on a conversation while playing a game, and schedule in a coffee before or after. And you can enjoy the health benefits of playing too, which range from lowering your blood pressure and body fat to improving your muscle tone, flexibility and strength.  

Now we know what you’re thinking: how do I find a tennis court? And who needs all the hassle of memberships? Well listen up. There are 13,000+ tennis courts available to hire in Australia, and you don’t need to join any clubs to use them. All you need to do is go to Tennis Australia's website play.tennis.com.au to search for a tennis court near you and reserve a time. You could be volleying up a storm as soon as this afternoon! 

There’s a reason why tennis is the ultimate social sport, and you don’t need to be an Ash Barty to get a lot out of it. It really is minimum effort but maximum fun. So what are you waiting for? The ball’s in your (tennis) court.

Find out more and hire a tennis court now at the Tennis Australia website.
