Students in Years 1-8 recently enjoyed some tennis skills and coaching with thanks going to the North Otago Tennis coaches. 🎾 👟


Students learnt the following skills:

  • The importance of a warmup
  • Balancing on a tennis ball and swapping feet by hopping onto the other foot to help with  good balance and strength
  • Ball and eye coordination- throwing up and catching the tennis ball, bouncing and catching from a variety of positions
  • Collecting and holding a tennis racket in the correct way
  • Hitting and returning a ball to a buddy over the tennis net

What a fantastic session with some impressive skills being demonstrated. All the students demonstrated a real "give it a go" attitude and GRIT. Ka pai!
