Have
you ever dreamt about playing like Roger Federer or
Maria Sharapova? While we may not all be cut out for
the courts of Wimbledon, there is no reason why we
can't enjoy the game of tennis.
The 'learn-to-play' tennis course is designed to provide basic
introduction to the game of tennis for beginners,
i.e. players who are just starting out to play
tennis with limited or no playing experience. Level
1 is for beginners and Level 2 caters to people who
have had some tennis lessons. There is a choice of
five or ten sessions for both levels. At the end of
the course, participants will be able to understand
the rules of the game, simple tactics, the
fundamentals of the serve and volley, forehand and
backhand drive, and more.
