Hi everyone! Again, another amazing session for week 8! The weather was just as amazing today and it was really great to get out to the courts! As just 2 weeks remain the players are getting ready for our final tournament on week 10.
Until today, we have been focusing on consistency and keeping the ball in play, which is the most important pillar of tennis. The other 2 pillars are power and placement, both of which we introduced this session!
Our intermediate players endured a thrilling set of matchplay today as they played tournament style singles matches against partners. They learned correct footwork, court position, how keep score, and most importantly how to win singles games! They also had to use their stamina to play a first to four game mini set!
Our beginner players played short-court singles and doubles matchplay, controlling power and placement of shots. They also improved their volley skills and footwork through drills in the beginning.
Our players' hard work was rewarded by chocolate chip (nut-free) cookies at the end of the session! Homework this week is to practice the 3 pillars of tennis--consistency, then placement, and then power, through matchplay with a partner during the week! 👍
We're really looking forward to the tournament in 2 sessions, and see our players progression along their tennis journey!🎾🎾🎾
