Im 14 turning 15 in three months and im 5'2 :P im really short but quick on my feet I don’t really have any "Good" experience with tennis I just bought a Wilson racket and hit tennis balls around with my friends. I don't expect to be pro but I want to be good at it. When I was little I and my friends were just shooting hoops and one of my older friends walked by and said you know it’s to late for u to start a basketball career LOL

Sure you can. Height only comes into play at the net, but if you are quick you can play a baseline style and be quite successful. And playing tennis can be something you enjoy for the rest of your life so go for it.

If you find it interesting then go ahead. It's always good to try something and if you really don't like it choose whether you wanna perservere, take up a different sport and drop tennis or just give up most sports all together.
P.S. Tennis is great sport and you learn the skill of hand eye co-ordinatio which helps with other racket, stick etc. sports like table tennis and golf.

Tennis is one of those sports where almost anybody can play and be good at it (with practice). It's fun, its fast paced, exciting, and a great way to get exercise. Furthermore, its a game you can play your whole life. Michael Chang, Leyton Hewiit, justine Henin Ardenne are all short and yet they are some of the best to play the game. You'll be great at tennis. Happy playing!

I am 14 and I started tennis when I was about 12, and when I started I hardly new anything about it. I talked my parents into letting me take lessons to help me out.( I love it now) If you put your mind to it I think you could be very good.

you still have time to grow physically, and if u start tennis now, by the time you do grow you'll already have lots of experiance and skill in tennis. Now is a perfect time to start

If you have the time, and you enjoy tennis, then yes. If you want to get good, try and find a local club. There you can join the club and take lessons and things like that.

You should definatley start tennis. It's a great sport that tests your agility, relfexes, and strength. Plus, you'll score major points with the ladies in highschool ;)

If it sounds interesting then at least try it. there are tons of things I wish I had started when i was in my teens. if you don't try it then you will never know. Plus tennis is great exercise.
