Daisy Fuentes helps support tennis
SignOnSanDiego.com > News > North County -- Welcome centers""Tennis historically has been difficult to learn and the word out there is that it's expensive," said Gail Benzler, director of community tennis for the San Diego District Tennis Association. "It's a myth we want to correct. All you need is a tennis racket and many facilities will loan you one to get you started. If you want to learn tennis basics in a fun, social environment, then a Tennis Welcome Center is the place to be."
The Welcome Center campaign is part of a national push to get more people playing tennis. Celebrities such as boxer Roy Jones Jr., television personality Daisy Fuentes and actor Matthew Perry are trying to help promote the sport.
"Like boxing, a round of tennis burns calories, increases agility and improves foot speed – all with fewer shots to the head," Jones said in a press release.
