Tennis provides a unique combination of cardiovascular, strength, and cognitive benefits, making it a strong contender for the title of the world’s healthiest sport, according to research and organizations like the USTA.
Increased Longevity: Tennis players can live significantly longer, with some studies showing nearly 10 years more than sedentary individuals, outperforming other sports.
Cardiovascular Health: It dramatically lowers the risk of cardiovascular death and improves heart health through interval-based movements.
Full-Body Workout: Tennis uses every major muscle group, improving strength, flexibility, and bone density.
Mental Fitness: The strategic, problem-solving nature of the game keeps the brain as active as the muscles, boosting cognitive function.
Accessibility: It’s a sport for all ages and abilities, promoting social interaction alongside physical activity.
Come play with us! Cottonwood Tennis Club boasts of being the Best Tennis Club in the East Valley. Why? The members! Our volunteers are second to none when it comes to pitching in to have a successful event. And events? Constantly. From daily tennis leagues and organized play, free tennis clinics, Social Memberships, and recently introduced short court tennis.
Short court tennis was introduced by the Cottonwood Tennis Club in 2024 to help people try the sport of tennis. It was designed for those who:
• Love tennis but can’t play the full court,
• Have mobility limitations or are recovering from injury, and
• Are transitioning to full court tennis.
Our Social Memberships: At less than half the cost of a full membership ($30), this level allows you to attend all of the social functions, parties, and tournaments, enjoying the food and camaraderie and even volunteering your time and expertise if you so desire.
