Go to the YMCA or something. They have really good tennis courts.

Well if you live in an area where no indoor courts are availabe, you’re out of luck. You can’t play tennis, but you can do things that will keep you in shape for tennis. That’s what I did. I live in a city with very rainy winters and the indoor courts here are very expensive. What I did during that time was swim (you can go basically anytime for however long), ran, lifted weights, jumped rope, and I found a conditioning center near my house and I go there every weekend in winter.

You must be in the US rather than the UK.Practise against a wall with volley control.You can also practise your serve with duff balls on the snow.
Get ultra fit at gym or running or stamina exercises.Many people take lessons,yet the moment they get tired their play reverts back to their old habits.You cannot play well consistently without very good fitness.Nobody can serve well once they tire.etc etc.
So use this time to really push yourself to higher fitness levels

o there is a game you can play like tennis
it is callled paddle ball you play in the winter with regular tennis rackets the court is heated so it clars the snow i have one at my country club i’ve heard its perfect for a cold winter day
(guess what you can play off the walls and it is a smaller court BUT IT’S REALLY FUN hopefully there is one near you)

Do thing like running up and down stairs. If you have a rope ladder, shuffle through it, run through it, ect. Shovel the area in front of your garage and use the garage door as a backboard. Lift weights. Run if you can. Push ups, sit ups, anything like that. Lunges(reverse). And stretch.
