Playing tennis does take skill, but with anything in life, practice is the best way of gaining better control of both the ball and of the player's emotions on the court.
Tennis is a sport that originally began in England as a lawn game; the modern game that we know today still remains somewhat similar in play as the original. The game can be played between two people, often called a singles match, or with a team of two people, called a doubles match. The point of the game, like many modern sports, is for the first person to get as many points as possible, thus defeating their opponent.
The points system for the tennis game remains more or less the same since its inception. The latest additions would be the use of the tracking system to better confirm the shot i.e. to see if the shot is within or over the lines.
The quickest way to begin to play tennis well is to understand the rules and concept of tennis. This is often accomplished by having a tennis lesson with a qualified tennis coach, by watching games of adult tennis matches, having private tennis lessons, or taking group tennis lessons. There are even kids' lessons available for those who want to start their child on a sport at a tender age.
Many local sport facilities or that of park and recreation centers offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced tennis lessons for all ages, either as an after school program or a family activity for the weekends or the summer. Depending on the level and where the lessons are held, there may be different areas that are learned; for example, beginners may be asked to purchase or borrow books on tennis, in order to learn about the rules for the game, while intermediate players may be asked to upgrade their equipment in order to perform better.
Again, the best way of becoming a better player is to practice. Many team sports will devote several hours per day to practice. If you decide to take private lessons, the instructor may arrange several times during the week for beginners to practice, but this can also be true for intermediate and advanced players as well. Remember that while daily training can be hectic, if an individual truly wants to be better at tennis, they must devote the time and commitment into playing the sport and getting better at it.
Some beginners may not have the budget to hire a tennis coach. They would opt for reading a book or video on tennis. It is not the same as having a qualified person watch over you. If you do have some but limited budget, try joining a group tennis lesson instead.
Practicing with better players is another method to raise your level of play. But alas, in society, it is very difficult to find better players wanting to play with you. Such is life. The order of life tends to highlight the selfishness of humankind. Knowing this, one must not lose heart but continue to persevere and be a little thick-skin and knock on doors of the better plays for a friendly hit. You will be surprise by someone nice who is willing to help.
Watching tennis tournaments and how the professional tennis players go about their sport is another good way of learning the game. Watching video clips of forehands, backhands etc is another good way of picking up tips on various tennis techniques.
Perusing tennis manuals, magazines and books is also a good way to learn and better your tennis skills.
Another important facet to learning is to have a humble spirit and be extremely teachable. You must not be hard headed and do not want to change your incorrect technique when told to do so.
Keeping physically fit is an important element for all tennis players and sports people. No point being talented if one is injured.
Keep a happy demeanor when you play tennis. Do not let negative thoughts hamper your game. Smile and just feel free when you are on the tennis court. You will learn to enjoy your tennis then.
