Zhang Xiangxiang, owner of Ou Pickleball Club in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, plays pickleball. However, the hosting of social sports events meant it was harder for the club to maintain its commitment to professional tennis training. Now, Banks Tennis tries to balance social aspects of the sport with providing quality training and events. "We've learned that sports socializing doesn't have to mean losing sight of expertise as it's about creating meaningful interactions while staying true to what makes us unique," Qin said. Lyu Jidong, professor of the Physical Education Department at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, said sports activities have always played a key role in bringing people closer together and lifting their spirits, especially in today's fast-paced world where individuals are seeking new ways to connect socially.
