FLEXIBILITY FOR SENIORS
Watch out, here come the seniors! These prime-timers are great candidates for fitness results. In fact, a 77-year-old senior will show more adaptation in one month than an 18- year-old. How's that, you ask? You see, the 77-year-old has a greater capacity for improvement and exercise facilitates that improvement. Believe me, I've seen it firsthand.

Tennis Club of the Month
Bitsy Grant Tennis Center
The Bitsy Grant Tennis Center is a public tennis facility consisting of 13 clay courts (6 lighted) and 10 hard courts (all lighted).
In addition, the tennis center was built in 1952 and named for Bryan Grant, the most outstanding southern tennis player of his time. Named "Bitsy" because of his 5-foot, 4-inch frame, he personified the "everyone can play" credo of the tennis center named in his honor. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island in 1972.
Facility:
13 clay courts (6 lighted)
10 hard courts
1 practice court
For more information, call 404-609-7193 today.

Making a Case For High School Tennis
Why Junior Tennis Players Should Play For Their School
Each season, we hear of junior tennis players choosing to forgo playing for their high school team. With the news comes the annual debate over the merits of playing for your school team versus the benefits of pursuing training and competition elsewhere. With little exception, those who choose not to play for their schools are highly ranked and likely the better, if not the best, player at their school. READ ENTIRE ARTICLE

Tennis for Smaller Players
In case you haven’t noticed (impossible), the game of tennis is drawing larger players, some are giants. Even on the women’s tour, 6 feet tall is not uncommon.
If you’re like me (I’m male, 5’6”, 140 lbs., 58 years old), you show up to almost every match and look across the net to discover your opponent is younger, bigger, stronger, and faster.
And if you’re like me, you think, “Oh good”.
In basketball or football the larger players would have different jobs or positions. A basketball guard has a different job than the center, and a football wide receiver trains differently than a tackle.
In boxing, participants of different sizes don’t even fight each other.READ ENTIRE ARTICLE
