Week 2: Junior tennis AISB soi 20 campus

Today was week two for junior tennis at AISB soi 20 campus. We really kept the energy going in 36 degree weather through out the entire 45 minute program. Today we practiced our forehand, backhand, and finished the day with the game called 'jailbreak.' It was the first time playing the game and I hope it will catch on for next week. I am amazed with the progress I see from the students from last term Ava, Nishka, Amber, and William. They have all improved! 

Week 2: Junior Tennis ASIB soi 31 campus

Today we learned how to play doubles challenger. After our basic warm-up and ground strokes we went into the game. Two champions are standing across the opposite side of the net, while five challengers rotate using the hula hoops. It was fun watching everyone feel the nerves of getting the ball back across the net and into the yellow line area. Stay tuned for next week!

Junior Event: Basic & Match Play

Eleven juniors participated in the event 'Basic & Match class' today where the focus was tuning the forehand 'basic swing' and backhand 'face-up'. This event came at a good time over a long five day holiday weekend. Normal classes run 90 minutes, but todays event was for two hours. Also, practicing the serve we went into playing singles & doubles matches. It was a great time for all who joined!
