tennis on clay

Question
Hello,
I am the mother of a boy with cystic fibrosis. I play tennis and I also would like to initiate my son to this sport. However, my club includes only clay courts. Is it a danger for him? Would not be better for him to play on Quick surface (asphalt)?
Thank you in advance.
Cordially
Answer
Hello
I invite you to realize your wish to initiate your little boy to tennis, whatever the coating.
It's a great sport that it will be most likely a complete physical, moral and social well-being.
There are no (to my knowledge) contraindications for people with cystic fibrosis to play tennis on clay.
However, you can also take advice from your CF Center (doctors, physiotherapists ...) who know your child and give advice on physical activity and sport.
In evey case, long live the sport!
Sincerely,
Yann Kerneur
