Tennis preparness?

Question

i want to join tennis next year for my freshman year, so i was owndering what do you have to have(or be good at it) to be good at tennis?

Answer 1

At my school, it's not very hard to join the freshman tennis team. In fact, some people who have had NO EXPERIENCE in tennis whatsoever made the team. They usually train you. But if you want to be ahead of the game, take some tennis lessons at a community college or local park. Or, you can check out this website: http://www.playsportstv.com/box.php?id=6...

It helped me out a lot as a beginner. I never took lessons, I just relied on the internet. Within 2 months, I was able to rally with people on the JV team! Just always remember to always follow through and don't get lazy on the footwork. It may be frustrating at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Even for the most unathletic person like me, I was able to enjoy tennis. The key to success is PERFECT practice and patience.

Good luck on the tennis team =] I'm sure you'll do fine.

Answer 2

some terms you need to know are

forehand

backhand

volley

lob

topspin

advantage

fault

slam

groundstroke

slice

stroke

serve

Answer 3

well if you're a beginner, than you don't have to worry about

much

just keep your eye on the ball

Follow thru

and swing low to high and keep your racket face "closed" as in the racket face faces the ground

if you're more advanced, that's a little harder

there's more footwork involved, more shot quality and preparation and you need to know about rackets and strings.

but honestly, use this tool: www.tt.tenniswarehouse.com and use that forum to find out more

Answer 4

You have to have consistency. Also, try to develop a powerful yet consistent serve. Go for your shots! Know how to job in place and use footwork effectively. That's all I got for now.
