| I hope you are all enjoying your first experience with | | | | foam balls, It is great to see how every one really |
| the great game of tennis. I was just thinking that when | | | | enjoys hitting a football size foam ball around a tennis |
| I first began playing tennis there was no real ideas on | | | | court. Try it and see what you think. |
| adapting, and changing the tennis experience. As you | | | | Changing your Targets |
| progress along the improvement path towards the | | | | There are many ways you can involve targets, you |
| best you can be, there will be times that you have off | | | | can use your own decisions on where you think you |
| days and the world does not give out signals of fun | | | | want to have a target. Again make sure that you are |
| and happiness. This can be a problem to us all when it | | | | reasonable successful, if you find the target too difficult |
| happens to many times, especially if we are really | | | | make it easier for yourselves. |
| trying our best. I think there are times when adapting to | | | | Changing the Rules |
| things in a different way will definitely help us. I have | | | | There are so many ways that you can change the |
| listed a few things that you may find of help to you. | | | | rules for example let us say that you are progressing |
| Changing the size of the court: | | | | very well and feel that you would like to put that little |
| You can restrict yourselves to playing within the | | | | bit more pressure on your weary bones. Then you |
| service boxes, or you may want to play down just | | | | may want to hit the ball back to your opponents |
| one side of the court from baseline to baseline, the | | | | racket and say to yourself let me see what you can |
| choice is infinite and you can have a great time | | | | do with it!! Or maybe you may want to challenge |
| working out what is your best areas to play in. As you | | | | yourself further by hitting the ball with your none hitting |
| become more successful you can change the areas | | | | hand. You can also change the scoring so that you |
| to suit your progress. Remember that if you find it too | | | | have an advantage, lets say you are playing someone |
| difficult to play in certain areas of the tennis court, then | | | | who is much better than you. Play a game where you |
| change those areas so that you have more success | | | | only have to win one rally to win the game! You can |
| and have fun. | | | | really create really fun things to do. |
| Changing your equipment | | | | I recommend adapting the Tennis experience right |
| You can play with foam balls, transitional balls or | | | | from the time you start playing, so have fun out there |
| conventional tennis balls. I have a few football size | | | | and enjoy. |
