Hello everyone! I took a 'selfie' of myself before class soi 31 campus. What do you think?

After School Junior Tennis @ AISB Soi 20 week 8

Hello everyone! Today we reviewed our basic coordination skills along with partner activities involving bounce hit / bounce catch and finishing with our forehand and backhand. It also great to see how the kids are understanding the 'concept' of hitting the ball into a certain area especially noticed with the serve. I am so so impressed with the progress from the smallest child to the strongest. Thank you for another fun day.

At soi 31 we are using the red ball stage 3 and it has been great! The children are able to make better contact at waist height and able to control the ball better opposed to hitting with a regular tennis ball. Today along with our review we practiced moving back using side step and then hitting the ball. Everyone understood the 'concept' very well!! The rallies are becoming a bit longer during the points.

'I look forward to seeing everyone again next week!'

After School Junior Tennis @ AISB Soi 20 week 7

Today was the first day of introducing the volley. Without using the racket we simply practiced moving forward keeping the elbow and hands out in front making contact directly behind the ball to mimic the volley shot. Everyone did great today in the heat!

"See you next week! "
