So tired of hearing this nonsense from people who know nothing about basketball.  Any 3 year old can hit a tennis ball.  No one can take a step on the basketball court without violating one or more rules without training.  Just because you don't know anything about a sport, don't assume it's "intuitive."[/quote]

Rules aren’t the issue - that can be addressed easily. Knowledge isn’t the barrier, technique is. It’s ridiculous to compare tennis with basketball. The proper technique is so difficult and has to be learned from someone who knows how to do it and practiced repeatedly with someone feeding you balls. The knowledge base is far more rare than soccer or basketball. Tennis takes tons of training (years) before they are ever ready to play a single game. Tennis and basketball can be practiced almost anywhere by yourself.

They have basketball leagues for kindergartners. Are there tennis leagues for kindergarteners? [/quote]

Finally someone who knows what they’re talking about [/quote]
