Yes, matter of fact I thought at one time they were creating a professional league. Any word on that? Talk about a work out, Tennis and sand. Wow.

Tennis has been a focus in our house for so long that we use other sports to help our tennis. I found basketball and golf really improved my tennis game. Both my boys like soccer to help their game. Any sport that helps your hand to eye coordination and footwork (which includes tennis) is going to improve performance in a a different sport.

Jump robe requires Hand and feet coordination speed and endurance. one of my fitness drills is to have players jump rope on court and practice their movement examples: side stepping, changing directions while jumping.

<p>I played it. its like mixing volley ball & quickstart. Hear-say dont quote me - They are regulating it now with Paddle tennis racquets and quickstart Balls. its fun and a great wookout on your legs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PS volleyball on Sand is better than indoors for tennis.</p>

<p>Cycling think more of Strategy. a single cyclist is nothing without a team and each team member has different skills. one is a great mountain climber, another is a great sprinter. as a team and individuals they work together but also for themselves. Many mind games are being played.</p>

<p>Boxing/mma/Martial arts, is much closer to tennis than anything else. Footwork, different sets of skills & abilities, taking and giving punches. just like in tennis. Except there is more learning available in Boxing than tennis. Because in boxing if you make a mistake you learn real quick not to do that. in tennis there are too many excuses y you can lose. in boxing you lose by getting your arse knocked out. in tennis excuse.... he hit too hard.</p> I would agree with CoachV, th…tag:tennisopolis.com,2011-02-14:1869403:Comment:5092252011-02-14T06:10:17.583ZTim Praponghttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/TimPrapong
<p>I would agree with CoachV, that it's the other way around. I use my knowledge of tennis in the racquetball court, such as using the wall hugger, or alleys on the side in the racquetball court. It is very comparable to the passing shot. Racquetballers know I am also tennis player because I pass them more than the average player. </p>
<p>I can't think of how tennis applies to cycling or boxing to improve the skill, except maybe the backhand punch, illegal in boxing. lol Well, like CoachV says,…</p>

the ball is smaller and its harder to see the spin so it helps a tennis player focus more on the ball. I play table tennis like Lawn Tennis, My pingpong friends Make fun of me.

<p>You need elements from all those sports to play tennis well. its the other way around.</p>
<p>Which Sport do you want me to explain first?</p>
<p>Everything relates. I once had a student who was a professional Cello player (a savant with phill harmonic) at 13 been pro since he was10. I showed him how to slice backhand better by using the same skills of using the bow across the cello. feeling the strings use the racquet the same way to slice, it made sense to him and he instantly fixed his…</p>
