Sports Center Popularizes Tennis Through Multiple Beneficial Policies

       Tennis has always been labeled as an aristocrat sport. With the increasing popularization of tennis in recent years, more and more people have participated in this sport. In order to further promote this sport, DalianSportsCenter has come up with a series of beneficial policies to usher in professional competition events and attract more and more citizens to enjoy this sport, so as to turn it into a popular sports event for common citizens.

       According to the statistics provided by the Dalian Tennis Center of TEBON Securities (Dalian Sports Center—Tennis Center), members of its tennis club come from all walks of social life, among whom there are salary earners such as university teachers and company clerks, as well as tennis enthusiasts of entire families. Moreover, the TennisCenter has launched a variety of favorable beneficial policies, such as Wednesday Free Admission and Outdoor Tennis Beneficial Card, which is attracting more and more tennis fans to the SportsCenter for practicing tennis skills and performing fitness exercises. Mr. Zhang, a tennis club member, told the journalist, “My friend advised me to come here to learn how to play tennis. If we go fifty-fifty, each time my friend and I will spend only 20 to 30 yuan per person. Such a price is acceptable to a salary earner like me!”

       Apart from the reasonable price which allows tennis fans to frequently visit the tennis court, other appealing forms of events are also attracting citizens to understand and love tennis. Last year, the SportsCenter successfully hosted the “WTA 125K 2015 Dalian International Women’s Open Tennis Championship”. According to statistics, this 8-day long event attracted nearly ten thousand spectators to root for the players. The citizens witnessed the excellent performance of first-class domestic female tennis players and the thrilling duels between Chinese and foreign players. This event not only allowed tennis fans to spend an ecstatic summer tennis day together, but also stirred up a tennis upsurge in the city. In addition to this, the SportsCenter has periodically invited the primary and secondary school students living in the vicinity to enter tennis courts for their first tennis lesson in their life and thereby arousing their interest in the tennis culture.

       Based on its international-class tennis courts and facilities, the Sports Center is capable of hosting all kinds of tennis events, organizing tennis training for youngsters,and opening its courts to citizens on favorable terms. All these policies have played their positive role in popularizing and promoting the sport of tennis in Dalian.
