I Hate That Shot!!

I played some singles today and it got me thinking. This particular friend of mine KILLS me on cross court passing shots every time we play. It feels like even when I hit a solid approach shot, he still gets me with it nearly every time! I have to give him a lot of credit as it is just a bread and butter, beautiful shot on his part. I spent today trying to attack it in different ways but it still gets me the majority of the time. What about the rest of you? Is there a particular shot or opponent for you that is just difficult to overcome? I want to hear some responses (mostly so I can feel better about myself not being the only one!)

BSU Kid's Day!!!

Last Saturday, we hosted a Kids Tennis Day in conjunction with the BSU men's tennis team before their match with Washington at Boise Racquet and Swim Club. All I can say is.....WOW!!!!!! What an amazing turnout! There were over 100 kids in attendance and they got to play great tennis games, interact with Coach Patton and stay for an incredible match between BSU and Washignton. In the end, BSU pulled out a tremendous victory over a top 30 team. Way to go Broncos! Idaho Tennis Association could not be more pleased with the number of kids that came out and we owe a huge thank you to all of our partners in this event. It was truly incredible to see that many kids come out with a desire to play tennis! Here are some pictures:

Thanks again to everyone who made this event a success! I hope this encourages everyone to take that next step in their tennis life. Get your kids involved, take lessons, join a league! Together we can keep tennis going strong in Idaho!! 

Central District AAHPERD

I'm here in Colorado Springs right now for a huge PE teacher conference. Here's a great photo during the time the teachers were learning how to adapt tennis for special education populations. Tennis truly is a global sport that everyone can learn and enjoy! I'll have more to come when I get back!
