What should I do... (tennis question)?
Okay.. I'm 15 years old and a freshman, and I currently play tennis for my high school team. I'm pretty good, I'm on JV, I even can give Varsity kids a run for their money sometimes.. I just want to know what to do if I want to become more active in the tennis world... I know there's a junior tennis association, but I don't know how to go about joining/getting a coach, etc.
Let's face it, I'm not going to be able to get any better playing the same people here with the same game until I get out of high school. I really want to improve my game before then.
Awesome.! USTA(if ur american) website would be a nice start to do some searching around. Also try to find a local tennis club to join and build up your skills and even play some tournaments. Watch alot more tennis, watching and getting to know the game and its history can help you alot.. i hope to see you in the pros some day.. goodluck.

Tennis with Tony And Friends $17.06 Third Rule of Tennis: Have Fun Why would anyone want to write another tennis book? As Beryl Markham said in her book West With the Night, I should like to begin at the beginning, like a weaver at his loom. But, like Beryl, neither am I a weaver so Ill begin by just saying I love tennis and I love to write about it. As a certified tennis instructor I emphasize to my students the Third Rule of Tennis, have fun. These articles balance fun and instruction.They were published on the Wild Cards section of the tennisserver.com web site and six more on the Southern Tennis Associations Tips and Trivia site. There are no charts or diagrams and very little how to. They are insights into the tennis world from tennis parties, tennis classes, the Learning Curve, the Kinetic Chain and some things in between; with Santa and my Aunt Hazel dashing about the tennis court well maybe not Aunt Hazel.I hope you enjoy them and learn a little from my friends.Tony Severino Certified Instructor Professional Tennis Registry Author: Severino, Tony/ Severino, Charlotte Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 160 Publication Date: 2010/12/20 Language: English Dimensions: 5.51 x 8.50 x 0.34 inches |

Movement Training For Tennis Video (Copyright 1990) (VHS) $31.95 How can players set themselves up to hit perfect returns like the pros? Let Jack Groppel, Lynne Rolley, Stan Smith, and Nick Saviano show you in Movement Training for Tennis.Developed through the expertise of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Sport Science Committee, this video presents a progression of drills to help players at any level add explosive movement to their game. World-renowned tennis coach Dr. Jack Groppel enlists the aid of USTA tennis experts to show coaches, instructors, and players how reaction time and movement time result in explosive speed. This concept involves the player’s seeing the ball off the opponent’s racket (reaction time), adding an immediate "split-step" toward the ball (movement time), and completing the execution of the shot with a rapid release of energy (explosive movement).In Part I of this video, players start off with warm-up drills to prevent injury. Next, there’s a progression of sport-specific drills designed to help players improve shot anticipation, initial take-off, footwork, body position, and recovery time after hitting the shot. Players will progress from short speed drills to more complex drills that incorporate lateral and horizontal movements.In Part II, the unique sliding techniques required to play effectively on clay is demonstrated. Players will learn how to step into the slide before executing the stroke, how to recover after the shot, and how to maintain balance throughout.Movement Training for Tennis is a valuable tool in helping players use movement to stay on top of their opponents’ shots during match play and get the winning edge.About the AuthorThe United States Tennis Association (USTA) is the governing body for tennis in the United States.

I don’t know who you surveyed but there is almost nothing worth watching in US tennis (adopted Americans Sharapova & Haas included) in the absence of Serena. (And ratings of women’s finals nor celebrity presence support your assessment.) Moreover, nothing but racism could have led the USTA to fine Serena, world-famous for a reluctance to challenge even bad calls, $90K and place her on probation for a year while doing nothing against Roddick–a perennial brat–for what I found to be a more degrading show. (Actually, the USTA wanted greater sanctions against (as quiet as it seems to be kept) American Serena but the foreign tennis associations refused. ) Ask me–no, I really don’t like Roddick. Didn’t like John McEnroe for the same reasons. All can forgive a momentary lapse on the biggest point over a truly wrong and seemingly gratuitous call after a series of (according to the tennis channel) the worst calls ever (top two were against Williams sisters AT the US Open) BUT Roddick perennially berates linesmen in the most humiliating terms. He always attacks the linespersons’ intelligence–not just their eye–and always suggests his own superiority (although I don’t know if he even graduated high school. Most professional tennis players don’t.) But I find Roddick, however, almost laughable in the way he stumps around the court with slight grimace as if he is about to take charge in a match with some new style and determination only to lose it employing his same tired approach. Finally, Roddick is a fake “Slammer.” Roddick would not have ever won a slam if there was the Hawk-eyed assisted player challenge system. Roddick–as the pre-Federer-Nadal face of tennis–and because he would regularly berate officials in the most demeaning way–he would get friendly calls. And that is y he can’t win one since the players’ challenges. But Serena has! Also, on this score. Actually, Serena was CORRECT in her challenge to the footfault call but Roddick was WRONG.
Great idea ! Maybe follow the same path of the "Ultimate Fighting Championship" when it split from boxing. "Ultimate Tennis Championships" could have no-hold-barred contact between players and officials. Maybe slip in an enraged baboon with rabies, just to mix things up.. or maybe that would be redundant.
Look on the positive side Andy.
