Tennis as a sport
Tennis is generally considered a safe sport for junior players, with injury rates lower than those in many contact sports. For instance, a study analyzing high school sports found that boys' tennis had an injury rate of 3.7 injuries per 10,000 exposures, while girls' tennis had a rate of 3.3 per 10,000 exposures. These rates are significantly lower compared to sports like football, which had 41.3 injuries per 10,000 exposures for boys, and soccer, with 26.6 injuries per 10,000 exposures for girls.
