Understanding Tennis: The Rules of Tennis

My project is about tennis. I am going to tell you all about the sport and how it is played. You are all geared up with your racquet but still struggling with the crazy rules of the game. This project will help people with understanding the game of tennis.

Tennis is a sport that requires a lot of focus and some teamwork. There is one person on one side of the court and one person on the other side. When you serve the ball normally you would toss it up and then give it a gentle but hard hit. Then when hitting it back you would get the racquet behind the ball and hit it with power. Now you have a volley, but make sure not to hit the ball out of the green section with white lines around it because that’s a fault, a fault is a point for the other team.
Some of the rules are for tennis are:

• The server switches serving from the two halves of the court
• The server is the one who puts the ball into the play for the first point
• Players change sides of the court at the end of the first, third and then every other game of each round
• Some techniques used in the sport are a backswing, stances, grips, and special footwork. They all use a lot of hand eye coordination and focus.
• There is not much equipment needed for the sport. You will need a racquet, comfortable clothes, and some athletic shoes. Professionals wear special clothes, shoes and have an expensive racquet.
• Some safety precautions are to clean the court, make sure there are no tears in your racquet and to keep random people clear of the court. This a safe sport, if played correctly.

This sport can help you greatly improve your health and here is why. Tennis is good for burning calories and toning your body. To prevent injuries and maximize your health you should play tennis safely. If you're new to the sport, taking classes is a good way to learn tennis and tennis safety. Even experienced players need to follow the safety guidelines to stay safe on the court.

This is a special sport because it has connections to all the fitness components. There are many fitness components, but I am going to start with muscular strength. Tennis relates to muscle strength which is the amount of strength a muscle can exert because of the serving motion and how much power it requires to hit the ball. It relates to agility/speed which is the ability to move your body in a certain direction as fast as possible and the ability to accelerate, decelerate, and change movements as fast as possible because the sport requires full coverage of one whole side of the court. Tennis is related to flexibility which is being able to bend far without braking because of the huge range of motion required when reaching for a ball to hit. It is related to coordination which is the ability to use different parts of the body together smoothly because when hitting the ball you must have the racquet lined up behind the ball and be focused on where you want to hit the ball. Tennis is related to cardiovascular which has to do with the circulatory system because there are 10-20 seconds of bursts of high intensity then 10-20 seconds of rest. Tennis is related to muscle endurance which is using your muscles repeatedly against resistance because tennis is the same thing over and over again using the same muscles hitting the ball with high amounts of power.

Tennis makes you get your body moving and your blood pumping. It helps you get you in great shape. Here are some things it helps with:

• Improves hand eye coordination
• Great for cardio
• Improves strength
• Burns calories
• Encourage mental state

This sport is a time consuming sport. It requires a lot of attention and deep focus. A lot of studies say that teens that play sports are a lot less likely to do bad drugs. This is because tennis takes a lot of your free time up. Tennis also gets people in good shape and in good health condition.
There are many important benefits of playing one of the best sports in the world, tennis. I hope this tells you some things you didn't know before about tennis and makes you want to try it out.
