I’m just starting my very first tennis lesson this upcoming week. I’m so excited, but at the same time I’m nervous that I’m going to mess up. I plan to work hard and take tennis seriously though. Any tips for not freaking out? And should I just wear a black lacoste t shirt and a white and black adidas skirt? What do you normally wear?
i want to play tennis but i need somewhere where its cheap but it gives really good lessons. the sanjose swim and racquet club was too expensive. do you think i should wait until high school to learn in the school. At notre dame i know there is tennis as a sport. im only twelve and i also want to know whether high school actually teaches you the sport. please help me.
What should I wear to lessons/or what do you guys wear?
Like should I put on my proper tennis dress/skirt (that I wear in matches) or just trackies and work out gear?
Also, what do you think is more beneficial to an up and coming player,
Private Lessons or A Full-Time Academy program?
We are a week into tennis lessons and I have the intermediate group. We have already reviewed the basic strokes(forehand, backhand, volley, serve) and they are proficient in those. We did placement drills so they know how to hit crosscourt and down the line. I plan on doing some other things like a serve and volley drill and overhead drill, and maybe mix up some spins but within a week or two we’ll have used up the new stuff and I was hoping to come up with some more fun drills to work on specific aspects of the game instead of the usual feeding them tennis balls or having them play a match as they can do that on their own time. Any suggestions to liven up the lessons would be great. Thanks!
