Why tennis?
Tennis is a great way to get physically active and have fun at the same time. Although the game requires equipment such as a racquet and tennis balls, these items can be found at any sporting goods stores and sometimes at bargain prices. You can play singles (one on one) or doubles (two on two), so it is a perfect activity for the whole family.
