I want to have a exercise routine for my tennis. I want to play better. I’m already ther top seed in under 14 girls since the previous tournement but I want to become :
-stonger
-faster
-and anything else that qwould help.
I wwould like the routine to be done at home more than at the tennis courts.,
I go in a lesson 3 times a week.
Also I have some free weights to use.
I wouldnt mind building my stamina and helping to become more fit all around. Thanks!

well im currently 14, had half a year of tennis i am a 3.0-3.5 player. im an extremely fast learner. starting this summer im getting private lessons. and i have high hope of becoming pro and willing to dedicate my self to follow my dream. all i do 24/7 is tennis. at school i play tennis for 8 hrs a day at home i watch tennis, and after tennis i go str8 to bed. im just wondering if ill have a chance to become pro and im wondering what u guyz are thinking. the reason why i put age starting tennis at age 15 becuz i might as well, my b-day is tomorrow.

on top of that my talents are, drop volley, half volley, top spin, cross court shots, slice. slice serve, flat serves ( 80+ mph) and lots more. do u guyz mind telling me what u think?
sorry turns out im a 3.5 player not a 2.5 sorry for the confusion

me=] asked:


I’ve noticed people talking about their levels in tennis like 3.5 or 4 etc. My coach said that I am a three when I have only been taking tennis lessons for two weeks… I am very confused because this seems very unlikely in my opinion as someone who has been doing tennis lessons for over a year is 3.5…?? If someone could explain the levels to me it would really help. thx

Phil asked:


I love tennis and want to be seriously hot at it. Anyway, right now I have apretty big first serve and forehand is big at times but inconsistent.

I want to be significantly due to my love of the game and competing. Im 23 right now and have grduated recently so am pretty limited financially.I cant really afford lessons (not more than 3-4). What do you think is the best way to improve dramatically? Should I combine the ball machine with matches and the wall? Do you have any resources which are useful? appreciate it.

Lizzy c 123 asked:


I am in eighth grade and i am about half way done with this school year. I take summer camps for tennis and do lessons in the summer with the high school tennis coach. My parents don’t really have extra money right now and i can’t have lessons year round because of that. and it still costs alot to just go to an indoor court and practice. My and my friend have been playing tennis for like 10 years and i got her into it, she takes lessons like 3 times a week and i just don’t. we are about the same skill level. but she is always bragging, and she has all this fancy tennis crap…

how do i make sure that i get on to varsity and not junior varsity??
because i want to show her that the raquet you have doesn’t make you great its how you play.. thanks

Dr. Southpaw asked:


I’ve started tennis, and I take lessons each week day. But I kind of wanted to practice more, which would be by myself. What are the best methods for this? Any certain practice equipment that isn’t too expensive? Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

reapacheep asked:


I charge 30$ and hour for individual lessons.I have a father who wants both his kids semi/privately tutored. Would you simply split that in half for two people or is it more complicated than that? 20$ an hour each? Whats fair. It is more work for me with two people.

Truthiness asked:


What are some good techniques for teaching tennis that will impress beautiful girls? Recently a girl asked me if I could play tennis with her soon and teach her how to play (She has never played before and is trying out for the team next year, so she has the whole summer to practice). I’m a good player (I do USTA tournaments), currently ranked in the top 75 in my state of South Carolina, and I have fun when I play and I’m not the type of player who yells when they miss shots or anything. I was wondering how I should start it, like I plan on teaching her the eastern or western grip for forehands and just rally with her while I teach her the correct forms to hit the ball and the correct footwork, but I’ve never actually taught anybody who has never played before so I could use some suggestions. Also I hope that I could play with her more than once so if she gets better she will ask me to play with her more (Hopefully all summer).

If you have any suggestions that would help her get good at tennis faster, make the “Lesson” really fun, or help me impress her, PLEASE tell me. (By the way I am 16 and she is 17, I’m telling you this so you don’t give advice thinking I am like 13 or something, haha)

I’m mainly looking for ideas on how to get her better and how I could get her to want me to keep playing with her, and covering these categories
1) Drills / exercises
2) Techniques I should teach her
3) Ways to start the “lesson” without me sounding arrogant, and things I should say to motivate her
4) Ways to show her the techniques, like on the forehand if I should just move her hand to the correct grip and get behind her and drop the ball and swing with her or something
5) Just anything that you think would help me out, thanks
