Two weeks into lockdown 2 and out of ideas of what to do to get your Tennis Fix?
Well here is a mini survival
guide which Tom hopes will help carry you though!!
Whether you are an adult
member, junior or parent this includes the links and tips which he hopes
you will find useful!!
1, Facebook!! Plenty of videos can be
found on social media. So follow both Henley Tennis Club and
MySportsPro.co.uk for updates and we also share videos from various
sources. Give us a 'like' & 'follow'
Henley Tennis Club - https://www.facebook.com/henleytennis
My Sports Pro %u2013 https://www.facebook.com/mysportspro.co.uk
2, The LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) have
set up a Tennis at Home Hub. This includes ways you can still play during
lockdown, at home drills and for the children the NEW LTA Youth at home.
3, ONE FOR EVERYONE enhance your
volleys and annoy your neighbours with throw catch against a wall. Many
variations include: use both hands - use one hand - throw with one and
catch with the other. Then finally use a racket and alternate
hands. TIP make sure you pick a spot on the wall for better accuracy and
control.
If worried about being the
noisy neighbour then you can purchase foam balls!
The best place for sporting
goods is Henley Sports...Yes they are open! Click and Collect from 9:30am
to 12:30pm contact Alan by phone or txt 07894074455
4, CHILDREN helium balloons don't just give
you a great voice they also make great targets! Attach them to a toy or
something heavy enough to keep them at one height. Children can then hit
the balloon(s) which will come back to be hit again. This has proved a
hit in our household allowing a few minutes away from parenting! If you don't
have helium a standard balloon provides just as much motor skill development
and one activity Jamie and Andy Murray did as children! TIP alternate hands.
5, TOM IS HERE TO HELP Please get in touch with Tom if you
want help or need ideas!
AND FINALLY!!!
WIN WIN WIN!!!!!!!!!!! Tom's record for bouncing a ball
on the frame/edge (not the strings) of racket is 157!! The first person who
beats his record will recieve free 1-2-1 lesson
after lockdown2. Video proof must be provided as evidence! Ideally
via Facebook tagging both Henley Tennis Club and My Sports Pro or message Tom
via WhatApp! GOOD LUCK!
See you on the court in a
couple of weeks!
