Tennis
Tennis is an excellent social outlet for people of all ages, and is also one of the
best workouts you can get to build core strength. Participants of the game learn
what it truly is to work hard, what dedication is, and how to incorporate discipline
into their lives. Tennis is not just a game of the body, but of game of the mind as
well. The City of Clearwater and the Henry L. McMullen Tennis Complex offer a retail
pro shop which has an array of items for you to buy, from hats and shirts to balls and
racquet stringing.
