Some of the best conditions to play tennis in Perth (Western Australia) is in the winter. Did you know that Perth has perfect winter weather conditions for playing tennis. Traditionally when people think of playing tennis, they only think of playing tennis in the summer. Some people view tennis as a summer sport, but here are 5 good reasons to continue playing tennis right throughout the year:

  1. Health Benefits Of Tennis
    First and foremost, tennis is a great sport for health, fitness, strength and agility. It has social and mental health benefits and a recent study found tennis was the best sport for life expectancy.
  2. The Weather
    The weather in Perth in winter is cooler and arguably between April to June, it’s the best time of year to play! With temperatures reaching 20 degrees during the day, there are plenty of days with clear blue skies and lots of sun. These conditions are just perfect for tennis.
  3. Tennis is a long-term development sport
    So playing tennis year-round enables you to maintain and to keep improving your skills. Those who choose to stop playing tennis in winter will lose momentum and often find it difficult to just pick up where they left off.
  4. Time and money
    For those paying for Group and Private tennis lessons, you are investing money and time into developing your skills. Continuing year-round enables a player to maintain their development and continued progress.
  5. The better you get
    Lastly, if you want to be good – the more you play, the better you’ll get and the more you will enjoy the sport.
