To a native speaker of English, both of the example sentences that you wrote are correct and sound natural. The placement of adverbs in English is a bit more forgiving than in other languages (for example, in French they are usually placed after a verb). Here are all the ways you could place the adverb 'usually' in your sentence.
-Usually we play tennis in the morning.
-We usually play tennis in the morning
-We play tennis in the morning, usually (less common, but correct)
-We play tennis usually in the morning (correct, but perhaps less natural and common for some speakers)

Hi Nathy,
In this case *usually* can be placed in both ways. However there are some others adverbs of frequency which have specific placement in the sentence, e.g *always* takes its place after the verb to be or before the main verb
Example: I'm always happy
You always listen to this song
