I believe the game of tennis is a great recreational pursuit! The word recreation means 'Refreshment of one's mind or body after work through activity that amuses or stimulates' (www.dictionary.com) Therefore in saying this, tennis is a sport that is fun and enjoyable that does not cause stress however builds a sweat! After completing a term on the sport of tennis I have learnt more and more about the game and what it does for me. I must admit when first hearing our class was starting tennis I wasn't very happy. However, playing games really taught me how much tennis can be fun. Tennis is also very cheap, with only a racquet, balls and court hire the only cost. With so many courts around the place, it is very easy to get free access to a tennis court. My class has been lucky enough to have free access for the whole term to the Somerville House courts and therefore making the cost of a game of tennis relatively cheap.
