My tennis community feels more like a family then a community. It started back in my freshmen year of high school with just one person. That person is Michiru Aita. If he never had the inspiration to play and learn about tennis, then the whole group would never have started. He asked several of his friends to play tennis and none of them were interested. I was a friend of his, but wasn't a close friend at the time. He asked me to try it. I was skeptical at first, but I went along with it. Possibly one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life was joining tennis. From one person to two people, then two became ten, ten became twenty, and the community kept growing I've lost count.
Both the boys and girls tennis teams helped each other out. We helped each other with fundraising, helped out during practices, supported each other in games, and etc. If the teams did not support each other, I don't think I would even be thinking or writing about this right now. Tennis would just be a hobby to me if we didn't have this group of support.
