Charles
Gray, USPTA, USPTR, is a
Richmond, Virginia
(VA) based tennis professional. He teaches both clinics and
private lessons throughout the city and surrounding counties.
His philosophy
is that tennis should be fun and open to anyone who wants to play.
Tennis is the most basic of sports—all you need is a racquet and a can
of balls. In addition, there are many free places (public parks
and schools) to play the game. Tennis is a great social outlet,
not to mention an all-over workout burning an average 498 calories an
hour. This is probably why so many
folks are returning to the sport, or picking it up for the first time.
