Tennis anyone??

Today was sam's third day of tennis and while the novelty is wearing off slightly he is still enjoying it. He is so eager and keen to try but he still only managed to get it over the net once today. It hasn't discouraged him though, he still marches up when it is his turn full of confince. I am a bit disapointed that the instructors have not been more hands on. This is a beginners class, not once have they been shown how to hold a racket or swing properly. I have tried my best to show my but has many of you out there know my tennis abilities are severely lacking. We had a go when we got home with a tennis ball and the rackets from his swing ball set and I think he is starting to catch on. I am very proud that he hasn't given up (because I know that I would have) and that he is still keen to joing a tennis club and do it on a regular basis. I have emailed the local tennis club about classes and hopefully they will have a spot for him.

He has really enjoyed the activies we have done through the council so will be on the look out for them at half term and the xmas break. We haven't gotten to know anyone new but at least he has had the opportunity to play lots of sports and meet a few new faces.
