Soft tennis

Do you know soft tennis?? It differs from regular tennis and it's not as famous as regular tennis. This type of tennis uses soft rubber balls instead of hard yellow balls but the other points are almost same. It was created in Japan in the 19 century.  And it's played primarily in Asia especially in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and the Philippines. These days, there are about 600 thousand of registered players and 7 million soft tennis fans in Japan. Recently, there are some activities to promote it to all over the world.

I have played soft tennis since I was a junior high school student. So I have been playing soft tennis for 9 years. And I used to belong to the soft tennis club in my university. I just finished the club activity in August 2011, but I sometimes practice it and have some games much even though I am retired.

I like soft tennis!! But it is not a very famous sport yet. I hope it is going to be more famous one because soft tennis is so fun and very easy to play. It is not only for adults but also for children. I want many people to know this sport.

Thank you.
