Are we really going to claim that playing tennis helps you to live longer I hear you ask? Well perhaps that would be a bold claim but one that was supported by research from a few years ago which has come to our attention. An American study found that tennis players on average lived nearly 10 years longer and suggested that the health benefits came from short bursts of intense exercise and regular group social interaction. Funnily enough all these benefits are available down at your local tennis club and all through the winter as we have 4 courts all with floodlights and with part year membership discounts now kicking in to take you through to the end of March. See our Membership Page for more.
