coaching tennis to kids
What should I do to make the tennis team?
I’m 14 years old and recently started playing tennis. My opponents so far have been my dad and some of the neighborhood kids. I wouldn’t say I’m bad, but I’m certainly not ready for a tennis team. People told me to get a coach or take classes, but my parents aren’t ready to invest in tennis.
My school has a JV and a varsity tennis team; i am hopeing to make JV. In order to make JV tennis, what do you think the requirements are? I want to work on tennis during the summer and hopefully be ready for the season.
Find a wall. Its the cheapest way to hit a LOT of balls. And to get better you are going to need to hit a lot of balls. Also, buy a ball hopper, get a bunch of balls, and practice your serve whenever you get a chance. Private lessons may be expensive, but there are usually junior clinics that are cheaper. Maybe you can make a deal with your parents, and do extra chores. Or maybe you can ask them for a loan. Prove to them, that this is what you really want to do. Its tough being a kid, but hang in there. Be persistent, work hard, and good things will happen. Good luck!
