Whats tennis in high school like?

Question

im trying to decide over tennis or pep squad in high school. because the people in pep squad are a little to stuck up for me , so im thinking of switching to tennis. But i really want to know whats it like. in middle school tennis was like you just play it you don't have to run laps or really do any thing but show up at the practices. Plus i REALLY suck at running. i can do the run back and forth thing but i suck at running track and stuff. so i guess what im really asking is what the running thing like,lifting weights, things like that.???

Answer 1

My high school girls' team just won state last year and we just got a new coach this year.  I think the worst thing we had to do was a continuous drill that involves footwork...but it was good for us.  No lifting or track running.  It is TONS of fun...I think you should go for it!

Answer 2

Tennis usually doesn't involve too much running or lifting. In fact, we hardly do any lifting. You probably will run a little bit, but nothing to make you puke unless you have a hardcore tennis coach. It is mostly just working on your strokes as that is the most important thing in high school tennis.

Answer 3

my hs is as follows:

Half the time the coach isnt there...

We are always away at another school playing matches...

and we run around  the school and parking lot at our coaches will

It depends on which school u go to....and ur coach....

Overall, its a great way to get better and get match experience

EDIT:

u dont lift weights or go to the school gym, just run and do suicides and round-the-worlds

Answer 4

it depends on how good your high school team is.
