[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s kind of a silly example.  Of course a kid can’t make a tennis team with no experience.  Neither can someone pick up a golf club for the first time and know how to play the game.   [b]A teen could have a billion dollars of her own and still won’t make the team with zero experience.

But tennis is an easy sport to learn.  Anyone with family or friends can teach a kid how to play. She’ll either lose interest or keep it casual or show an amazing hand eye coordination and strength, practice every day at the public court and start on the high school team. [/quote]

That billion dollars can get you the best coaching, and that makes a big difference.

Both Langley HS boys & girls tennis won the state championship this year.  How many of the top six starters have private lessons and clinics?  Probably all of them.  Keep in mind that you can't play tennis outside in winter, so it requires indoor facilities, and that takes money.  Tennis might be cheaper than golf, but it is still expensive.[/quote]

And how many will play in college? Maybe 1[/quote]
