For #2 we'll review some of what we learned in Tennis Tutorial #1 and teach you the Forehand and Backhand Strokes and practice them. Whether this is your first, second or third session of TT#2 you will learn something new and improve your skills. Please Note: Depending on the Group's progress and enthusiasm, we may spend some time on TT#3 (The Serve).

    Don't let the weather deter you! I will be checking out the courts Sunday morning if it has rained over the w/e and will call Ann who will post an update if we are cancelling. If you don't see an update here or get an email from us by 12:30pm on Sunday plan to be there to join us. (We can work around a few puddles - we've done it before and we will do it again.) LAST CHANCE TO TAKE TT#1 AND 2!!!
