Description

Second Serve Podcast is the only tennis podcast created exclusively for adult recreational players by everyday tennis players. We are passionate about the game and our episodes are geared towards adults playing a sport in the later years of life (hence, the name “Second Serve”). The goal of the podcast is to promote and grow the game of tennis for adult players. This podcast discusses everything related to adult recreational tennis. Topics include the following: advice for beginners; what adult recreational players wear; funny and crazy situations that happen on the court; the rules of adult tennis; and how it feels being an adult and getting your feelings hurt when you are not played in an important match. We know how it feels! If you would like to see pictures of our guests or listen to any of our previous episodes, please visit our website https://secondservepodcast.com. You can search for any topic that you're interested in and find an episode about it. We also have information about ratings, rules, tennis gear and more on our "Resources" page. Thanks so much for listening!
