hello everyone,

I hope you guys enjoyed the long weekend. couldn't have asked for better weather!! unless your a storm chaser, then your out of luck. but to all else, it was a perfect weekend for tennis. to all that participated in the selection qualies, great stuff. as well as to those that participated in their respective high school tennis sectionals, regionals and OFFSAA qualifying.
This week looks to be a great one weather wise (and again, if the weather does turn, please check on our social feeds to see the status of the courts) this is just a quick reminder to bring and wear lots of sun screen, bring hats, and bring extra water to the courts.
Last week with the attendance being quite small due to all the other tennis events you guys participated (as well as the prom for some of you) we didn't dive into anything new, but rather just personalized each day to fit the group that was there. this week we are looking to get back on schedule and to keep the flow going.
it will be a strong net week. we will be focusing a lot on being at the net, getting to the net, serving and volleying, chipping and charging, as well as how to defend when someone come to the net.
this is a very key aspect of hard court (and grass court) tennis and even a little bit more on the clay surfaces now. we are starting to see a little more net play at the French open. Which, I might add, is currently on, for those looking to catch some more tennis on tv, there is a lot of it on tsn. in a couple of weeks Wimbledon will be on and this weeks net session will be on display at its finest.
also, reminders, if you are missing a class, please keep sending me messages so that I can continue to let others know that we have room for make ups.
another reminder, we have a few more weeks of the program left, but will be continuing with a summer session, starting at the end of June. please check with the tennis department for forms for this great program. space is limited and weeks are filling up quickly!!
Lets have a great week!
see everyone on the courts
