PROJECT ROD

Thank you for your interest in the DCTA Project ROD (Racquet On Demand). Project ROD is bringing free tennis racquets and balls to the court for you to enjoy. Please feel free to use the enclosed tennis equipment and return it for others to use. In addition, you may also donate tennis equipment for others to use. Since tennis is a lifetime sport that adds an average of 10 years to the life of players, our goal is to have tennis equipment available to anyone that wants to play tennis.

Other benefits of tennis include:

• Increasing aerobic capacities
• Lowering resting heart rate and blood pressure
• Improving metabolic function
• Increasing bone density
• Lowering body fat
• Improving muscle tone, strength, and flexibility
• Increasing reaction times
• Boosting cardiovascular health
• Enhancing mental wellness
• Shaping the body
• Cutting the risk of cardiovascular disease
• Decreasing the risk of osteoporosis.
