An introduction to the basic strokes, rules of the game, and its scoring systems. Players will learn the service and serve-return positioning, along with developing the rudimentary skills necessary to sustain a rally. Racquets, balls and eyeguards provided. Participants are encouraged to wear non-marking sneakers with adequate heel stability (to prevent ankle injury).

A continuation of the principles explored in the introductory class, with an emphasis on developing a facility volleying the ball, as well as other tactics employed to hold the front (T) position. We will also explore in greater detail the elements of the swing that increase/decrease pace, and expand our hitting zone for greater creativity in shot trajectories.
