Luckily there are many different kinds of sports to choose from based upon your ability and interests. From football, to basketball, to soccer, and to track. All of those sports are super popular options, but my personal favorite is rarely mentioned, it is tennis. Tennis is something most kids look over and they tend to believe other sports are more active, competitive, and more aggressive. Tennis is not discussed that much compared to other sports, because people don’t know many things about tennis. I know tennis is worldwide, but not in our middle school. I want to make tennis fun, exciting, competitive, and aggressive, but still showing sportsmanship. I feel this sport needs more recognition. I feel like people underestimate tennis and its abilities. Cross Country runs 1 ½ miles but tennis if you have a 2 hour match it could add up to a 3-5 mile run, more than the average cross country practice or real meet. Tennis requires strength and endurance. I would love for our middle school tennis to be as important and as competitive as our high school tennis. Not just tennis but other sports need to be more serious in our middle school too. Some people use sports to be socialy interactive, and not to grow in the sport.
