'Singles Strategy Tips' for our singles players and anyone having to play a challenge match - this is a great general video that those new to tennis can take a few points from that can help them now



Service Toss Tip

This is a blog post I put up here for the boys' team in February. Please watch the video and heed the simple advice. I was thinking about this as I left practice today. Relaxed muscles can help you hit a tennis ball with more power, control and fluidity than tense and constricted muscles that aren't getting air.


Please watch this short clip and listen for the connection between breathing and your muscles when making contact with a tennis ball. This is a fantastic tip. Remember a couple deep breaths though the nose can do wonders for your body, mind and soul. It can help you relax and refocus. Do it as your sitting in a classroom and taking a test. BUT please practice it, even though it may sound goofy, so it starts to become natural when your on the court.
