Tennis can be at any age, and while many take the sport up while in school or early in their careers, more and more people are retiring quite physically fit, and want to stay that way. Tennis is one great way to have both a fitness vehicle, as well as a very social opportunity.For those who think only of tennis as a young persons game, full of energy, it can be played slowly and with couples enjoying "mixed doubles". Probably one of the most difficult aspects of the sport is to learn the scoring system, and this guide teaches that.It also encompasses the basics of the serve, the volley, how to select a racquet, how to choose the right pro, and so many other topics.And by the way.. don't say, "I can't do this.. I have bad hips". The author, himself a senior (65+) has had not one, but two hip replacements.. and plays 3-4 times a week, generally for 4 hours!Watching him is like watching poetry in motion for he controls the ball so that he probably doesn't move more than 4 feet in any direction... and he'll teach you the same. This is a MUST have book for any future senior tennis player.

I am a senior citizen who has learned how to teach fun tennis to seniors. In recent years I have noticed something pretty common to just about all of us tennis players. No matter how old (or young) we are, we all seem to want to play tennis a little better.This book is an introduction to a tennis training system designed to help those in their 40s, 50s, 60s and even 70s learn to play a better, more aggressive, and certainly much more enjoyable tennis, as well as one that is a whole lot easier on the ole' bones. Those of you with hip replacements or knee replacements are going to love this book. I am going to extend your tennis-playing years significantly.Let's face it: at our age, we can't run like the wind and jump like the deer (at least those of us who are mortal can't). So I want to show you how you don't have to be eighteen years old again to play that way. After you take out all the fancy terms and grips and everything else people say you must do-what then does it boil down to?It's simple: all you want to do is hit the ball. Folks, it's time to start playing smart tennis and know in advance where you need to be. I am going to explain all this to you.
