A Worldwide Community of Senior Tennis Players Joyfully Sharing TIPS (Training, Inspiration, Purpose, Socializing)
Senior Tennis Players face unique Body, Mind, and Spirit challenges in our battle with Father Time. Yet, our needs and concerns are largely ignored by the tennis industry and media in favor of focusing on junior, collegiate, and professional tennis players.
Until now! At Senior Tennis TIPS, it is all senior tennis, worldwide, 24/7/365.

FAQs
Here's why. Most of our Members' ages ranges from 40 with some into their 90s. However, for tennis governing bodies such as the ITF and USTA, "senior tennis" begins as early as age 30 or 35, respectively.
Also, well behaved Juniors and young adults are not encouraged to join, but welcomed for their smarts to tap into the wisdom of their elders.
Non-conforming content is removed. This would included tennis news or gossip regarding, but not limited to WTA, ATP, College, or Junior tours and players.
Third-party links and posts are likely to be removed unless the post is your original work.
Think about it this way, in STT, you are the newsworthy story. So post about your tennis-related activities. And, "Be Original" is one of our Community Guidelines.
Make Senior Tennis TIPS work for you. If you like to sit back to read and watch, great! If you like to post photos and videos, react, and comment, go for it!
If you're looking for tennis lessons, see a certified USPTA or PTR tennis pro.
Suggestion: Post brief videos of your strokes and/or play along with asking for Member input. All feedback given is well-intended, however, exercise caution before implementation. The vast majority of Members are not certified tennis pros qualified to teach the sport.
