21-July-2008 Monday Extra practice @ Victoria Park

This is one more extra lesson for the kids.
After the tournament, TA had free all the courts at VP.

We have Tommy, Jason, Nicholas and Oscar only at 9am.
Boys were all late.

Some formal warm ups.
The main drill today is "the net game".
I bet, most of you would agree that many of our players' net game have a large room of improvement.

One intercepting drill.
Jason's foot was lazy while Tommy tried his best.
One bad thing Tommy did is he has a too big back swing for the volleys.
Oscar seemed to be the best at the net among the four.
Nicholas was okay but still he has to practice more for the high balls like lobs...

Doubles.
Jason and Nicholas have some unforced error.
Jason needed to be more consistent, he missed some easy shots in the game.
Nicholas broke two strings today, and his service could be better next time.
Oscar did the great job while Tommy tried to assist at the net.

At last, the Tommy and Oscar played a single match for one game.
I think both of Tommy and Oscar were great at their single match.

Today is an extra lesson for the kids.
You know, the courts at VP is so hard to book.
Boys did well and I appreciate their "heart" on tennis and they really did a good job any time in the court.

Reviewing myself in the past when I was in the school team, I didn't practice so much like them!
