I’ve never played that many sports in Germany, one reason being that many sports cost quite a bit of money to play. Tennis is included. The only sport you can really play for free seems to be soccer (football). Most sports involve joining a club. Such is the case if you want to play tennis. You will have to pay each time you want to get on the court. Is this terrible? Of course I’m used to the American system where you can play tennis for free, but at least joining a Tennis club in Germany means meeting other Tennis players and having a little fun.
Actually Tennis is a pretty popular sport in Germany:
According to Maps of World.com:
“Tennis in Germany is more than popular as is evident from the numerous Tennis Camps that the country has. The popularity of Tennis in Germany can be explained by the position of German Tennis in the World ranking chart. Who can overlook the names of the Tennis stars like Boris Becker, Anke Huber, Steffi Graff, or Michael Stich? It is perhaps the inspiration of these stars that has inspired young Germans to take up Tennis either as a sport or even a career. Stadiums like that of Gerry Weber , an indoor sporting arena, are used as venues for training Tennis in Germany.”
Other sports?
The other sports do exist and there are even national teams. This includes Baseball, Hockey, and of definately Soccer (football). It is hard to go into a bar on the weekend and not see a football match playing on the television.
