I want to PLay Tennis! Help! PLZ?

Question

Ok i'm 14 and I really want to play tennis on my high school team. But I have no experience playing tennis. I'm planning on running every day, practicing my strokes, hitting the ball correctly, aiming to have a good grip on the racket, and try to improve my agility. I'm just wondering if I practice this everyday will i have a chance to be on the tennis team? School starts in about 4 weeks and I really want to be able to at least know how to play

Answer 1

i played tennis all four years in high school.  although i began playing when i was 5 you can make the team. confidence and determination will take you a long way.  you should also practice on footwork. that will help with your strokes a lot. instead of running try doing sprints. PACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE, repetition helped me a lot.

Answer 2

FIRST, get some experience! I was like you a couple of months ago. Proudly, I can say I'm way way way better than that time and know much more than I thought I could handle. What I mean by get experience, is play matches with your friends or people out at the courts. I never played against anyone before this year, but I practiced my strokes and all but that didn't work out so well. Why? Well I'm not saying you'll fail miserably, but for me, I just couldn't put my game up together. I had the strokes and the serve, but I couldn't use them together in a game. But good luck and keep practicing!

and remember, some people play every single day. I know a few guys/girls that do.

Answer 3

I played all 4 years in high school and I didn't start playing until the 8th grade and if you have the desire to play and are willing to work hard then you can definietly make it.

Answer 4
