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.

Cherry Hill East Was A Battle ... And We Had Some Good Moments - Pictures Of A Beautiful Day At The PVI Courts
Johnny and Mitch communicate quite well, and will never get down on themselves and show their opponents their frustrations. Don't want to give your opponents added confidence ...
The twins made it though a first set quick server. We've all played a quick server once or twice. They slowed it down, a great idea by Marcos.
Mark played our 2nd three set match of the year and really went at it with another Davis at 3rd singles for Cherry Hill East. There is always a Davis at 3rd singles at East.
Frank has amazing concentration on that ball, or coach might just have a good camera that catches such. Or could it be his skills with his camera are really starting to come together with repetition and practice. See the picture below that I put on the blog from the first match of the year against Seneca. I got a great shot of the rust on the fence, but not so good focus on the Seneca players. Practice makes perfect.
Terry played Omar's son and found some shot combinations that worked to win points against a very experienced opponent. Terry did a lot better than yesterday, and I hope his back is doing better. He'll have a tough opponent tomorrow in Dave Blystone of Cherokee. Dave was quite an emotional player when Terry played him last season. If Terry can be consistent and find a way to frustrate him, and then notice such and take advantage of the re-occurrence, I think he could win. You always have to watch and take advantage of the emotional downturns of your opponent(s) when they may be frustrated with their tennis game and show such in words and body language.
