5 sports to improve your tennis
Tennis is a sport that requires oculo-manual coordination, a sense of analysis, speed, precision, strength and, in the case of doubles, teamwork. Research continues to demonstrate that the benefits of playing more than one sport to learn new skills, increase confidence, and develop fluid movements. Whether you are a tennis novice or have been playing for several years, the following five sports will help you improve your game:
1 - Table tennis:
Table Tennis is a game of speed, strategy, and precision. It is described as a "high-speed chess" game; the action unfolds quickly and is punctuated by sudden movements and rapid repositioning. This sport can help you develop muscles, lower body, barter, and upper body.

Like table tennis, badminton is an extremely fast sport. Speed, strategy, precision, power, agility and reaction time are qualities that are put to the test. Plus, it increases cardiovascular endurance, upper body strength, trunk stability and flexibility.

- Speedminton
The Speedminton is very much like badminton - you need a racket (a bit stiffer, a bit like squash) and a steering wheel (smaller and heavier than badminton). However, there is no net and you are 42 feet from your opponent. This sport develops cardiovascular endurance, upper body strength, and barter, flexibility, strategy, and teamwork when played in doubles.
4 - Hantis:
The Hantis is an extremely fun game that combines elements of the four corners and table tennis. To play it, all you need is four tables and a tennis ball. Teams of two try to score points by bouncing a ball on tables. Unlike table tennis, a player can touch the ball twice before hitting it at the opponent's table. The contact with the ball is usually done with the hand, but all parts of the body can be used to keep the ball in play. The Hantis improves oculomanual coordination, reaction time, spatial perception, communication and The strategy. Last year, I introduced my students to Hantis and they liked it so much that I incorporated it into my lesson plan!
5 - Spikeball:
When you discover the Spikeball, it will undoubtedly become your favorite sport. It's a mix of volleyball and four corners. It is played two against two with a ball (the size of a ball of a softball) and a net (which is round, the size of a hula hoop and which is placed at the height of the ankles ). To serve, you have to hit the ball in the net with the hand and the opposing team is allowed three hits before returning the ball by bouncing it in the net. Participants develop their oculo manual coordination, flexibility, agility, reaction time and communication skills.
What is perhaps the most interesting is that these are all social sports! They allow you to meet people, mingle with others and make new friends. They can be practiced at any age and for all life. These are intergenerational sports that develop children's physical activity skills and keep young adults in mind and body!
