  1. i joined my high school tennis team with no idea what i was doing.

    they mostly teach you everything, but don't expect to play that much.

    my advice, before practicing with your team join like a sports center and they can teach you alot.

    join, it will be great exercise and tons of fun


  2. The first place for you to start would probably to get out on a court and start hitting the ball, or get some tennis coaching.

    Maybe first you should try out a cheaper racquet and as you get better get a more expensive one.

    Getting in shape may help the way you play, as you will be able to get to the ball faster.

    Just wear suitable sports gears (shorts and a t-shirt) anything that you can run around in.

  3. It would be a good start to contact Parks and Recreation in your City and ask them to refer you to one of their local parks that gives lessons.  The prices are usually reasonable, and some summer day camps at your local park might give lessons free.  While taking lessons, start with moderate exercise such as walking around the track if you are not use to exercising, or ride a bike, go into a low pack jog while walking, plus do arm stretches, ask the person at the park that you find for lessons to give you pointers on exercises. I love the Prince rackets, but that's a personal preference, but don't go too cheap, quality is better than low-quality. Go to a pro shop for some advice on getting a racket, and then purchase at that shop or go to a sporting good store to get it. Shorts and a T-shirt is find with some good socks and tennis shoes that are comfortable with good support, I use K-Swiss. Tennis doesn't have to be expensive, just lots of fun.
