We will begin our journey today by visiting one of the most vibrant tennis clubs in Kumasi,Ghana. The KNUST tennis club boasts of 2 courts and 2 more courts under construction. It has a sitting area for players on the court and also offers some considerable amount of seating for people who just want to watch an exciting match. This court also has just adjacent to it a squash wall where most beginner tennis players first practice before rallying.
There are a few coaches who may occasional come for training sessions but usually beginners have to put in extra effort to learn on their own.
As a beginner you may not need much to start playing tennis. Based on experience I would suggest that you find good sparring partner (you can also read this article for more information on the topic Finding a good sparring partner )who is eager to learn as you are. Find a good court, one that has all the basic facilities, a good racket, a coach who will guide you, a mentor (i.e a tennis player that you sincerely admire. For instance I admire Roger Federer's play style), a good outfit and some tennis balls.
It is important to remember that tennis is a game and is fun to play when you treat it as such. You may occasionally come across some very intense tennis players but never let their demeanor or their play style keep you from achieving your objective of playing the sport.Just remember to be true to yourself.
So go out there play your game, love the sport and enjoy yourself !
