Tennis Anyone?


This morning was the beginning of Tennis. Amy, Jordan, Haliey, and I set off with water, portable chairs, and the camera to record this event. Haliey joined a class of beginning tennis stars at South Portland High School. The two instructors were very patient and taught several tennis moves this morning. We learned that there are 4 steps to think about before hitting the ball. First position, do a little split, pivot, and then lollipop the ball over the net. That is what Haliey learned. Jordan learned that if you look hard enough, you can find rocks and dirt to play in while you wait. Amy and I learned that we need bug spray and a cold drink while we wait in the broiling sun for the future tennis stars to learn the finer points of the game. We look forward to the next lesson and will be better prepared I am sure!
