Im only 12 and i want to start playing tennis but i dont know? am i to old to start?

Question

yeh..plz help

Answer 1

Your the perfect age to get into playing any sport; and tennis in particular is awesome to learn, practise and play. Your never REALLY too old to begin trying out a sport. I say go for it; a few years of hard commitment and practise and you will be better for it.

Answer 2

never to old.

rafael nadal really got into tennis at age 12

my coach played pro and he started at age 13

Answer 3

lol no your never to old to start! its a great game and lots of fun

Answer 4

you are not too old you dont need o be skinny and you dont need a specific racquet just not a wooden one.

i started when i was 13, a freshman and it was really fun.  now im 14 and im pretty good.  ive gotten a lot bettter and im competing with people who have played a lot longer than me.  its super fun.  all you need is someone to tell you how to do a topspin shot and your set.  you meet new people and find something to do in the summer

Answer 5

Well ur never really old to start playing anything, if you like the game then go for it, nothing should stop you from playing a game you enjoy! Just practice alot if u feel ur behind, which I doubt because if u like playing then u shouldnt be behind. Hope it works out!!

Answer 6

well i'm 11 and i started when i was ten and i'm super good because i always practice plus i want to be pro!! so if i was you i would go to the gym every single day and practice tennis every day too. good luck!

Answer 7

No I started when I last year and I'm 16!! Just get a good coach and practice really hard. I play on my school tennis team and I started at the very bottom and made it itno the top 5 of the JV so no you aren't too old, Nadal started tennis when he was 12 so you should be good.

Answer 8

Go ahead and by all means start playing tennis right away.

Go to a tennis court or club house with such facilities near your place & ask if you could join a beginners group.

Or go to a sports shop that sells tennis rackets & ask them if there are tennis clinics for beginners like your age  bracket.

Nike, Dunlop usually sponsors such tennis clinics & sports activities to promote their products.

I once enrolled my 12 yr old daughter in a Milo tennis clinic & right now she's an ace player of her age group at 14.

Good luck & have fun
