P.5-Compete in a sport for an entire season
Every Monday morning at 7:30 I would go to tennis lessons at school for all of term one. Brett and Kerry Hampton were our coaches. Each morning we would do a set of warm up skills or games. This involved learning about the Base Lines, Service Line, Doubles Line, Singles Line, Center Line, Net and playing short games. One of my favorite games were Tennis Cricket this was a game of elimination, Brett or Kerry would stand on one side of the net, we would stand at the service line and return the serve, hopefully it would land with in the boundary lines we were given. If we didn't get it over we would go to the other side, trying to catch the other peoples serves. Each session lasted an hour where we were taught new skills.
I really enjoyed the coaching methods Kerry and Brett used. At the end of term one I felt I had learnt a lot more about tennis and would now feel confident to have a game. It is something I can now do with family and friends when we all get together during summer. I think it was a very good opportunity and im so pleased I had a go at it, I have learnt a new sport.
Well done for completing your season of tennis. And, well done for making it to school so early in the mornings. Sounds like Brett and Kerry were good coaches. I hope you took the time to thank them at the end of the coaching.
