July 8, 2009. Yesterday's tennis was great fun and there was a lot of learning going on too. There are many other photos that dropped into the archives. You will want to check those out. I have started a photo album that I will bring to our Tuesday practices. Just ask at the check-in to see the book.

Coach says, "Hug your racquet" when your waiting for instructions.

Playing points is great fun.

Coach works on tap downs with a U6 player.

Hurry, Hurry get those balls across the net. Clear the Court is great fun!

Clear the Court is a movement activity. All of the foam balls are dumped on the court and the kids have one minute to throw more balls than the kids from the other side across the net.

Warm-up drill. Start at the net run backwards to the service line, shuffle sideways to the alley line, shuffle backwards. Well you get it, they really get warmed-up!

U10's shuffling while passing the ball.

Slamma Jamma. The ball must bounce between the players before their partner bounces it back. They do this while shuffling from the net to the baseline. They learn ball handling skills and movement. A lot of coodination is involved. Great Job Girls!!

Great Volley Form!!

Coach tells the 6 year olds to work on rallying the ball with a parent.

This U6 tells coach that she will work on rally ball with her parent.

U6's tell their coach what homework skills they will work on.

It's Tuesday July 7, 2009. Let's play some tennis! See you at Wilmot High School Tennis Courts at 6:00. Coaches please come at 5:30.
