Serving: Never Miss into the Net Again

When we teach the serve we teach students they have five things they need for it to be successful. The first is technique, the second is get the ball up and over the net, the third is get the ball in the right box, fourth is to move the ball around the service box, and fifth is spin and pace.  After technique getting the ball over the net is critical or you will have a hard time starting a point. To get the ball over the net one must hit UP on the ball, not down.  When you practice, pretend you are serving over a 12 foot wall. This will help you keep your chin up and guarantee you are getting the net clearance you need.

Better Backboard Practice

Hitting against a backboard or a wall is always a fun way to practice on your own. Practicing against a backboard or wall should be done so that it mimics a real rally. Instead of letting the ball bounce once, allow the ball to bounce TWICE. This will give you time to set up and not rush your swing.

Team Svasport

Watching our students grow over the years is one of the biggest gifts. This year we have four of our students join the Junior Team Tennis with the USTA. Junior team tennis is an opportunity for kids to play singles and doubles against other teams for a six week season. It is a great starter or complement to entering tennis tournaments.   The girls have really come together in four short weeks. The amount of playing time gives them confidence in playing tennis. If you are looking for a great way for your child to get valuable playing experience, to learn from their peers, and apply their skills, junior team tennis is very valuable.  The junior team tennis experience is also very cost effective. Players get to play for six weeks for the cost of two tournaments. Check out https://www.ustaphoenix.com/ for more information if you are interested.
