Tennis in Costa Rica has many benefits

Most people come to Costa Rica to spend more time outdoors and tennis is the perfect sport to do just that. It is a great cardio workout and engages every inch of your body because you’re constantly moving, stretching, pivoting, or running. The physical benefits of tennis also lead to psychological benefits. Participating in tennis can lower your stress level and reduce anxiety. 

Not only does it benefit the mind and body, tennis is a great social activity as well. You will always be on the court with someone else. Being around others with shared interests is a great way to develop social skills and make friends. Tennis can lead to many life-long connections and can open many doors on and off the court.

Tennis is also great because you can play at any age. I’m sure you haven’t seen many 70 year olds organizing a rousing game of tackle football. However, there are numerous retirees that still pick up the racquet and get after it on the court. Pura Vida Tennis believes that everyone can enjoy the sport. There are competitors in their classes as young as 3 years old and others as old as dirt they play on.
