This is the first year I'm trying out for tennis. Tryouts are in a week and are supposed to last for only 2 hours. I wanted to know people usually do in tryouts.

Examples: rally, drills, matches, paperwork, etc.

Thanks for answering.

  1. You have to run around then court about 30 or 31 times (I  think it is about two miles) so that the coach knows that you will have enough energy to play because you have to run A LOT in tennis and then you do some rallies and that is basically all.

    Good luck with your tryouts!!

    Hope this helped!!


  2. Well, first off the coach usually makes you rally with someone to get warmed up. DON'T hit the ball hard during rallies. He will probably make you guys play some king of the court too (its a really fun game).

    You should expect to run alot to, so make sure your ready for that. Try to come prepared with your RACQUET and water. DON'T forget water.

    The real stuff begins when you start playing other players to make the team. If you get beat, don't get discouraged. Most of the players out there are coming back from last year. You just have to beat the newcomers. Hopefully you can beat the older regulars too = ). Don't expect the coach to watch you the whole time because there are many people out there. Don't underestimate ANYONE. I did that once and he won one set, then i got myself back together. Good luck to you! = )

  3. u run more than u wud expect and do sum footwork drills...im not trying to scare u but u shud be prepared to work hard i wud suggest that u start to warm-up a couple days b4 tryouts E.G. jog around ur block maybe even do sum push-ups and sit-ups to get urself into shape. after the running tho you'll probably do sum drills where the coaches hit u a ball and u hit forehands/backhands and it'll prolly end with a game like king of the court or around the world (both fun)
