Week 23

Hello everyone,

This week we will continue our review of the positioning and preparation on shorter and deeper balls. We will also look at the grips again, and focus a little more on the serve grip and arm positioning. We will also spend some time practicing the toss on the serve as it is the basic thing that everybody needs before other things can be corrected.

Hope that everyone had a good Easter and that we are ready to work hard again.

Week 22

Hello everyone,

I hope that everybody had a good March Break, and that everybody is ready to get back to working hard on Monday. 

From the matches the past two weeks, we have seen that the kids are doing a lot of things better and that everybody is improving. Now some things that need to get a lot better are the recognition of a deep ball and getting in a balanced position before hitting it. Similarly, with the short ball kids recognize it but do not find their positioning and just run through it. So we will work on balance and finding the best positioning when hitting the ball while moving forwards and backwards.

Lastly, just a reminder that the following weekend is Easter, and that there is no academy on Friday the 25th, Saturday the 26th, and Monday the 28th of March.

Week 21

Hello everyone,

So it is week 2 of match play where we see how the kids are applying the things that we worked on and looking for where we need to continue working further. One big thing that we are trying to get all the kids to do, is to hit the ball properly when playing points as well as when rallying. So far we have been seeing the kids play their shots a little too safely and very differently compared to playing points and rallying. We want to get them to hit their shots the same way when playing points and rallying/practicing shots.

We will also look to introduce the kids to doubles a little bit this week, in addition to singles play.
