It
is always difficult when you start the tennis season to choose your
tennis club. Each player wonders whether he will stay loyal to his
club, or will he go and try the clay of another? The challenge is not
to fall into the easy and choose a club that you would have
recommended. You must make a real inquiry and especially listen only
to you and your intuition. Below are few tips to choose best
San Diego tennis club.
What
surfaces for the tennis courts?
a)
Outdoor hard courts: There are two major families of hard courts:
resins (green set type) and porous concretes (which are improperly
called quickly). Always favour cast resin courts in place.
Resins
are much less harmful to joints than quick’s. The body is much less
tired on a green set and your health will be much better preserved on
this type of court. Resins generate less false bounce than porous
concretes, which are generally very poorly maintained with moving
plates and expansion joints that always come out. The porous concrete
courts are often very abrasive at the beginning of life and use the
balls prematurely. At the end of life, the "quick’s" are
sometimes smooth like ice rinks and accident generators.
b)
Outdoor lands: The surface of tennis is also the most prestigious
surface. The championships as well as the most important summer
tournaments are held on clay.
Short
clay courts require regular maintenance by qualified personnel which
obviously increases the price of membership of clubs that own. Yet
the benefits of clay are many to start with the comfort of play. The
game techniques and strategies adopted have their specificities and
you will develop on the ground blows and attitudes that will serve
you on other surfaces.
c)
Covered courts: The courts covered clubs are mostly hard (fast)
or possibly plastic carpet (very fast). Some clubs have covered clay
courts but they are not in the majority and most indoor tournaments
are hard-fought. That's why if you want to compete all year long, you
should select a club whose covered grounds are hard.
Check
the facilities:
The
thing to do is very simple; you need to calculate the ratio between
the number of courts and the number of club members. You need to have
a court easily free for you to play regularly. Also remember that a
sport hall may reduce the time allotted for tennis from time to time.
Give preference to clubs that only play tennis or sports halls with
designated spaces for this sport. Also remember that if you intend to
take classes to improve yourself, the personality of the tennis
coach San Diego is very important.
