Many topics such as rules, scoring, strategy, etiquette, will be addressed in some way almost every class. Once a stroke is introduced it will also be practiced every class period with drills that are increasingly challenging. For example, when you practice the forehand we will first learn the proper grip, swing, and footwork. Then we will progress to hitting low forehands, high forehand, deep forehands, short and long forehands, crosscourt forehands and so on.
