What is some advice you can give me for trying tennis?

I really want to start playing tennis. I've been sort of playing it a little in the summer for a year with my family and I think it is really fun and hope to do it next year in High School. Any tips of advice you can give? No one in my family has really played tennis so they aren't as experienced. Any help would be great thanks!What is some advice you can give me for trying tennis?
just pick up a racquet and ball and go hit and serve...justs tart playing and ull get better..i started 2 summers ago..even though im anturally athletic im on the school varsity team now, and its a lot of fun. also watch videos on youtube or soemthing to learn beginner techniques





but it is a very hard sport to masterWhat is some advice you can give me for trying tennis?
I think if you are just starting out the best thing to do is to take a few lessons from someone. They can teach you the basics and then you can build on that and get better. Once you have a basic understanding of how to play you just need to play as much as you can. I find it helps me if I watch good players and try to emulate some of the things that they do. Like anything else, it takes a lot practice to get good.
It's not a good idea to play high school tennis after 1 year at it. You need to make sure you are ready and that you can make varsity before you can try out like me.


Get good equipment and learn the right techniques instead of hitting the wrong way.


Practice endurance and speed. Do footwork drills.


Practice with a ball machine everyday,
Join a club. Meet up with like-minded people %26amp; make some new friends. Some clubs give free lessons when you join up so shop around when lookin for a club. Maybe the family could join too.


No need to spend ridonkulous amounts of money, just spend as you progress.


Set up a routine so that you can fit it into your daily / weekly schedule


EG: School / Tennis / Swim / Home
Take lessons. Ask around for some names of instructors in your area. They will be able to tell you tips you wouldn't be able to know yourself and you will get better at a faster rate.
lessons would obviously be amazin but ya could definatly just look up some techniques...ya really just need to practice! =)
try taking group lessons. it's cheaper than private, and it's more fun. if u just want to learn, take private lessons. keep ur eye on the ball and be consistent
play with people better than u and get prince as your racket. Its great


even for beginners.
