Danny S asked:
I am 14 years old and take lessons around 4 times a week for about 1 and a half hours. I want to go pro in tennis but this is not enough. What is some way to play more without spending money?

Well if you belong to a tennis club, and their are other kids your age that level out to your abilities that belong there, ask them to hit/ play matches with them a couple days out of the week. Get involved in USTA tournaments. Indeed it is about getting ranked and points and such, but its all about getting experience with match play. That is something a pro can’t teach you during a lesson, you need to get the mental part of the game down and playing tournaments woulddefiantlyy help you..! hope this helps and good luck!!!
even tennis clubs cost money for the annual fee. if you have a local park with courts you and a friend could play practice matches there, or you could just go there and practice your serves. You could also have a parent or a friend toss you balls to hit to reinforce what youre learning in your lessons. if there are any racquetball courts near you, the wall there is a good place to hit against.
oh very easy play with random players.. swap phone numbers with people so u always have people to call.
always have peoples numbers and just call around… u can never have too many numbers to play tennis..
just keep asking people and plan ahead during the week with other players and if they cannot make it always have someone else to call.
dam i have to same problem…and mine is worst cus i only get to play once a week and sometimes none cus it rains..and i only take lessons sometimes now i just practice by my self with a hitting partner. ..too bad if u were near me we can practice without spending more money..haha
