Different types of tennis courts
Tennis courts have the same dimensions, the white line, and a net, but the surfaces are totally different. Agility is here to give knowledge of how different tennis courts are, and this might catch y’all by surprise. Additionally, this knowledge will help you optimize your game to play your best tennis on each court type.
As I stated earlier, this will surprise and amaze you. Looking into the history of tennis, the first courts in Britain and France were primarily wooden courts, which were obviously situated in an enclosed place. That is why tennis is referred to as an indoor game to date!
Still in the history of tennis and how the surfaces came to be, the first courts were grass courts and were introduced in the 1700s. Since the invention of the grass court, all outdoor tennis was primarily played on grass all through to the 1970s. During this period, three of the four grand slams were played on this surface. However, there is a range of surfaces available, all with slight nuances. And that is why it is important for every player to know their court surfaces and have the best plan to win on each one!
Clay courts are originally made from red brick and ground finely into a powder. That is why it has that traditional red color up to the surface. Some are made using crushed stone or shale and this results to a more grey color. A clay court comprises a hard court with a top surface layer of compressed or rolled brick and this maintains a quality level of flatness which allows for a consistent bounce.
Clay courts are relatively affordable to construct but they have to be maintained diligently to keep the top surface layer coating and water content consistent. If this is not done properly, clumps of clay may form making it dangerous for players to slide and could cause injury.
Therefore, here in Kenya, clay courts are made from red clay. The courts are brushed and swept on a regular basis, mostly done after use, including the lines to maintain their consistent bounce and to avoid clumping of clay in certain areas. Generally, clay courts have a wider and longer runoff surrounding the court than grass, hard, or carpet courts as players tend to slide around in extended rallies on this surface due to the high bounce and reduce speed.
Agility tennis Kenya provides clients with a variety of courts in Nairobi they include the murram or soft surface and the hardcourt. Murram courts in Nairobi are more suitable for beginners and children because they are a bit slower therefore the student has enough time to be able to learn various strokes of tennis much easily and thus ensuring proper progression and overall development of the student. agility tennis Kenya provides clients with the best hard court surface in Nairobi is more favorable to the advanced player who prefers a court with faster conditions and relatively lower bounce. having a variety of courts for our clients ensures that our clients’ needs and satisfactions are met without compromise.

Tennis Nairobi Kenya – Now at Agility Tennis Kenya.
Tennis in Nairobi Kenya started officially in the 19th century through the inception of the Kenya Lawn Tennis Association. KLTA. It was for most a recreational sport.
Over the years, the game evolved into a competitive sport with Kenya being represented in regional and global competitions.
As a result of this growth, one of the pioneers of tennis in Kenya, Mr Jim Davies, conceptualized the idea of having professional training facility and staff to meet the growing demand and interest in tennis.
This was the beginning of JD Tennis Academy in Nairobi Kenya. Which, when it was registered in 1975 had one murrum court. Many years later 3 deco-turf courts were added. Overall, the set up comprised of 3 hard courts,1 murrum court, a mini tennis court and a club house.
It is at this academy that our founder, Mr Kevin Muhuyi, honed his skills as a player for many years. And thereafter as a coach, introducing the game to many children and adults alike.
Due to unforeseen circumstances that affected the world in 2020, the JD Tennis Academy was shut down. This created a gap in the market that prompted Kevin to start the Agility Tennis Nairobi Program that provides tennis students with solid alternative.
A program that offers children the opportunity to learn and play the game through a series of lesson progressions. It creates a proper foundation upon which kids continue to build their skills and interest in the sport.
This is an intermediate and advanced class that offers tactical skills, match play and physical endurance on real match situation.
Agility Tennis Nairobi Kenya has a full- fledged professional coaching staff that has coached many top junior and senior players. We provide our services to all kind of people and of all ages and levels.
Our mission is to introduce Tennis to as many people as possible including the under privileged in society. We aim to give coaching scholarships and set people up for success in life as players and/or coaches.
