ABC asked:


Is it legal in the state of Washington, or in any other state to use public land to create a private profit?

More specifically, would somebody be able to use a high school’s tennis courts for their own private tennis lessons?

Would they have to receive approval from the high school, or from the state, or how would that work?

I have always had an interest in tennis. I am in 9th grade now, a freshman. I tried out for the tennis team, but I didn’t get in. I decided I would take tennis because I love sports and to get on the team. I wanted to go to tennis, and had to kept reminding my parents again and again until I finally got lessons. The difference is that I wasn’t forced like other kids to take the sport. I am already athletic, and my coach says I get the feel of the ball. I am 14, but I am catching on fast. I want to become professional and am willing to do what it takes. The problem is I am taking lessons once a week. Money is an issue because it is $45 a lesson. I really love tennis and my teacher was shocked that I was getting it so fast. i have never played any tournaments or anything. I played from late november of 2010 until now. He also wants me to take it twice a week, but there’s that money issue. I love tennis and want to prove to the world that I can become professional. Maybe I ca catch up. Or is it really that late. John McEnroe started at age 10 and ranked #1 in the world at one point. What do you think, can I do it?

I’m thinking of doing it this year (10th grade), but not only do I not have any actual tennis experience beyond some lessons when I was younger and playing with friends, I also will obviously be starting a year later than everyone. It’s no-cut, but I should still prepare for it.

Do you play tennis or know anyone who does?
I think it starts in mid-August… how should I get ready (running, etc.)?
Anything else?

Thanks. :)

Like if you do tennis lessons must there be a journal entry for each lesson or just one for the whole activity? If that is the case what happens when it is only 5 pages long?

sportstick asked:


The last time I played tennis, I got destroyed 8-1. I can’t get lessons and I have a partner but they aren’t that good. What kind of things can I do to get better? I want to win really badly because everyone was laughing at me when I lost.
