Beat The Post-Wimbledon Blues With A Tennis Holiday!
Novak Djokovic has bagged his first Wimbledon title and Britain’s biggest tennis event is over for another year. If you are missing the sounds and sights of the tennis courts, you might be thinking about dusting off your racquet. A tennis holiday could be the perfect alternative to a knock about on a rainy UK court. You can enjoy a holiday, get super fit and have fun playing tennis.
Playing tennis for three hours a week can burn off in excess of 1,000 calories. By improving your racquet skills on a regular basis, you can get fit and stay fit. Competitive tennis is also reported as burning off more calories than aerobics, inline skating, or cycling. Physical exercise improves concentration and stamina, so an active sports holiday in a great setting could be just the ticket for summer. Tempted?
European Tennis Resorts
If an overseas tennis break takes your fancy, there are plenty of activity holidays on offer, providing fantastic tennis facilities in resorts in Greece, Portugal, Sardinia and Corsica. The Lakitira Beach Resort and San Agostino Beach Resort, both in Greece, boast 21 tennis courts and 10 tennis coaches between them. In addition the Ocean Club Beach Resort in Portugal has a specialist tennis centre with 5 tennis courts and resident coach – an ideal place for learning new skills and improving your serve.
Tuition is available for complete beginners through to club and county level players, and coaching can be provided which is really helpful when there’s a group of balanced ability students, or if you prefer tuition on a one-to-one basis, there is individual tuition for players aged four years and upwards.
Off Court
There are friendly tournaments and evening social matches throughout the week. Off-court , you can enjoy a leisurely drink with your tennis partners. And for families, there are some great complimentary childrens clubs which are available for kids aged 2-17 years. Using the Kids Clubs means adults can relax and enjoy their time on the court, knowing that their children are safe and happily occupied. A sports focussed holiday is perfect for making new friends and contacts and giving your energy levels a real boost.
Everybody wins with a tennis holiday!
