Tennis

We did tennis every week from September until December. We do a series of games such as: Eliminator and round the world, we also do matches: singles and doubles. We had about 10 weeks for 15 Euro. The coaches were Conor and Alan. We played it on the tarmac at the back of the school. The coaches brought a net, tennis rackets and tennis balls.

 We learned the forearm, backhand, volley and the serve. We had tennis on Monday morning at either 10:30 or 11:30.The first week we had tennis it was in the hall because it was lashing rain outside and we played a game with a soft ball, it could bounce as many times as you want but if someone didn’t hit it they would get knocked out, it is like eliminator except the ball could bounce more than once.
