New for MTA : Coach Dale Short's Tennis Tip of the Month

April 2010    Coach Dale's Tennis Tip of the Month :

The "Lob" can be one of the most effective shots especially on a clear day. On clear days your opponent has no reference point in the background to judge distance. Most players hit their overheads best when its a cloudy day as its easier to judge and perceive the height and depth of the ball. So don't forget to use the lob, especially on a clear day.
 
 
Till next time , Coach Dale

 And as an added bonus Tennis Ted’s Three Word Tip:  

                Hit the ball !!

2009 MTA and Area Instructional Opportunities/Stringing Services

 

The MTA is offering spring tennis clinics for juniors starting next week at MTSU! These clinics will be run by Alison Ojeda and Melissa Schaub of MTSU Blue Raider Tennis. 
 
The clinics will be divided into QuickStart groups for ages 5 -10 and Tournament groups for ages 11-18. The USTA is promoting QuickStart as the best and most fun way for kids to learn the game of tennis. What better way to learn than the way Roger Federer and Justine Henin got their start on the courts? 
 
Below is a printable schedule and sign-up sheet. Note that the first session begins next week on April 5th and runs through April 28th. The second session begins on May 3rd and runs through May 26th. If you are interested, please email Alison at aojeda@mtsu.edu as soon as possible.
