• It’s adaptable – appealing to all abilities and levels of fitness, so you get the most out of it.

Do you need to be able to play tennis?

No, Cardio Tennis is for players of all standards and fitness abilities. Low-compression balls are used in Cardio Tennis because they are a valuable tool to achieve success with participants of differing abilities. They are softer and don’t bounce as high, and they’re a great leveller because they allow for extended rallies, especially during play-based activities. Low-compression balls also promote immediate success, especially for beginners, because they travel at a slower speed and people have more time to return them. We use orange balls most of the time. Orange balls are 50 per cent compression of a yellow tennis ball.

Do you have to be super fit to do Cardio tennis?

Participants can be of mixed fitness levels as the coach can work people individually throughout the session, i.e. the fitter participants can be made to do side to side jogging whilst others are taking a break.
