Week 10

Hello Everyone,

So over the past few weeks we have started playing more points from the baseline, while having to hit a certain amount of balls in the court before the point is open. The kids are starting to show progress in terms of the quality of shots, and maintaining longer rallies. We have also continued working on volleys and overheads, grips and arm position, and we will stick to it until all the kids start showing progress in this area.

This week we will continue playing more points but we will introduce starting the point at the net, and coming to the net, to get the kids more comfortable with volleys and overheads from the actual point. We will also continue to work on recovery after hitting a shot, and getting back to our ready position every time after we hit a shot. There is way too much standing and waiting in the same spot where the previous shot was hit, and doing this will get us in trouble for the next shot. Therefore we need to recover after every shot that we hit, to a neutral position behind the baseline.
