A Message Board for the 2011 Paul VI Boys Tennis Team. This blog is where members of the team will get necessary articles and information to enhance their chances of winning a sectional title. These articles and videos combined with on-court instruction, match play and your desire to work hard and learn will significantly improve your tennis game. I'll also document each team match with stories and pictures. We have now begun our journey.

Less Running ... Hip Hip Horray ... Volley Vids ... Please Watch
I guess I am getting soft in my old age, as I don't like to sweat as much as I once did. I do a bunch of small and large group tennis instruction for most of the summer. By the end of the summer I've spent a good portion of the previous 2 months, and say 5 hours each day covered in sweat.
So you guys won today as we ran less than we normally do. That said I see the upcoming weather forecast wherein today may have been the last of the really hot days of the year. We'll run again and the temperature will be much lower. I promise to toughen up my new soft self.
Please watch the short vids to give you a different and enhanced visual aspect of the learning we've been doing with the Volley. Please email me your challenge match scores and opponents so I have a record of such.
