The outline of the history of tennis sport development in Sopot

Abstract

The analysis of the history of physical education in Sopot shows that tennis belongs to the most representative sport disciplines of the city. Tennis is one of the most characteristic elements of sport in Sopot. The history of tennis states clearly that this sport creates a glorius page of the history of Polish sport and tennis courts have entered the architecture of the city permanently, becoming a lasting symbol of Sopot. The tennis centre in Sopot has brought up a number of outstanding players succeeding on international courts. The centre has distinctively marked its position in the sphere of popularising and developing tennis. The recource and perssonel base create the premise that it will continue succeeding in Poland as well as abroad. The analysis of the history of tennis in Sopot proves that talking about the Sopot tennis school is not a platitude
