We are like Lannisters, we always pay our debts. We haven’t forgotten that we owe you all a brand new character that we promised a few weeks ago, and we are here to pay up. We are ecstatic to announce that My Pal for Tennis is now available for purchase on our online store. Since we have always been a tennis family, having a great tennis character as part of our My Pal line is really important to us. Not only because tennis clothes and accessories are super cute and fun, but also because we believe that tennis is an amazing sport for children to take an interest in and to learn to play. Our goal is to teach children about positive, fun, and important themes through play, and we believe that tennis is an ideal way to teach children about a variety of values.
Tennis has hundreds of years of history, with records of early versions of the sport being played in the royal courts of medieval kingdoms. Its ability to stand the test of time is a testament to the many benefits that playing tennis can have on a person’s life. Playing tennis demands self discipline and mental toughness. When playing a singles match, you are pretty much on your own on the court, and you have no one but yourself to keep you focused, motivated, and to execute your game plan. Tennis also involves a significant amount of etiquette. Unlike many other sports, how a player conducts himself on the court by following the etiquette of the game is very important. Not only is following tennis etiquette essential for being respected as a player, but failing to be polite during a match can even cost a player real points, and can cause them to lose a match. Tennis is a sport that brilliantly combines being social with being competitive, which allows players who love the game to play it either competitively or socially for their entire lives. Finding this love for sport that can last a lifetime can even be the key to always leading a healthy and active lifestyle. We hope that our My Pal for Tennis character can be the spark that makes a child find an interest and love for this great sport.
