Tennis in Japan?? -

I play competitive tennis in Canada, but do they have the same thing in Japan? Does anyone know if there are programs for junior development, if there are national tournaments etc? Thanks for the help ^^

If we're to learn anything from anime, Prince of Tennis teaches us to serve at a powerlevel over 9000.
Gawd, I watched one episode of that anime, and was laughing so much I was in tears. Seriously. Service? Over 9000? It can be done. How in the world do people reach 1,000+ posts?  Skadoosh.

I hate the terms they use, too. I mean, maybe they call it something different in Japan, or the translators are messing it up.. But instead of "kick" or "topspin" they'll say "snake spin!", "super bounce!" IT'S CRAZY. I couldn't get past chapter five in the manga.

Hey, hey now! Lets not bash those funny jr. high students and their gayness... I love PoT!!! :P I'm so sad it ended...
 America and it's laggy-ness on releasing the manga.Anyway, as MMM said, tennis is very popular. I love tennis. It's one of the largest things in my life. In fact, I'm wearing my school tennis sweats as I type and I was playing real hardcore today. Best I've played for a while... ~Yuna7780

There's no super bounce. It's not the snake spin, it's simply called the snake (later called the Boomerang Snake, but that's another story). It is explained in the book it's actually called the buggy whip shot and they note that the name is changed because of Kaidoh with his Viper-ness. Inui most often explains the actual tennis shot, but the story over exaggerates for entertainment means. A lot of shots are nearly impossible... But you can't resist to smile at Fuji or Atobe or Lucky Sen Goku...♥ THE WEBSITE OF FUNNY-AWESOMNESS. LAUGH AT ALL OF YOUR PoT NEEDS: :: Crack PoT:: (I've read up to book 29 so far... I don't feel like reading online since it's just not fun reading online.) Though I may sound defensive about PoT, it's really fun to make fun of and to read. I've spent many hours of laughing at the shitty English dubs and sparkles of witchcraft that is diffused from their rackets. My best friend and I each have jackets and hats. She has Seigaku and I have Hyotei. Our favorite characters play on each team and we do funny stuff when we verse each other in tennis and put on the outfits. QUITE entertaining. ~Yuna7780

Even though the "moves" in TeniPuri were a little exaggerated i still loved that series ;D And the series hasn´t really ended...
What i have heard is that the real story hasn´t even begun...that everything until now was a prologue ... 379 chapters... O.o Well... the new series will start in March!!! And I also rly like tennis... it´s my favorite sport... even though i haven´t played it much ... it´s so fun !!

My students are very familiar with Prince of Tennis and Ace wo Nerae. Tennis is one of two sports I actively participate in, and I often play with my students during club activities.
Remember though, courts are often clay/dirt/grass. I have yet to find a concrete court like I played on when I was in JH/HS.
