So to start with, we’ll go over racket sports, tennis and squash, with a fine-tooth comb.
Tennis
Tennis has become popular in Poland thanks to two famous sisters: Agnieszka and Urszula Radwańska. With the increase of their popularity, many tennis schools and grass and indoor tennis courts sprung up. Tennis schools offer individual and group classes, and the differences in prices are significant. There are schools where classes are conducted in English language. Grass courts are only open during the summer season, but indoor ones are available all year round. Due to the fact that they are located in different areas of the city, you should have no problem with accessing these facilities.
Tennis balls are available in a facility, but usually you should come with your own racket.
