Facts About Tennis For Kids

History & Origins

Tennis began over 800 years ago in French monasteries, where monks played by hitting the ball with their hands against monastery walls!

The word “tennis” comes from the French word “tenez,” which means “take this” – players would shout it before serving the ball!
