Tennis lessons are a wonderful way to learn the basics of the game and receive direction from an experienced player. An expert will show you how to hold and maneuver your racket, the proper way to serve a ball and how to perfect your forehand and backhand volley. The volley is a difficult technique to master, especially for beginners. The tip of the racquet should be at eye level, feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. It's important to remember to remain light on your feet.
Tennis is a game that involves a lot of running and quick hairpin turns.
As the ball moves toward you, pivot your body and begin to push yourself forward toward the ball. Often beginners have to overcome their fear of being hit by the ball. As you turn your shoulders, keep the racquet in front of you. Avoid bringing the racquet behind you. Hold the racquet loosely in your hands except when you hit the ball.
