TIPS FOR TENNIS
By Josie Whitehead
Give your health the boost it needs
And build your muscles too.
Get that racket in your hand
And now, here’s what to do.
​
First, grip your racket properly.
Let a good coach show you how
For there are many things to learn
Which I will mention now.
​
A good ball toss improves your serve
And will of course impress.
Direct your ball to the right height.
Your aim will bring success!
​
Your arms must work in tandem too
And this also needs your skill.
Adroitness comes from good technique
And constant daily drill.
​
Your groundstrokes need attention too -
An expert’s help you’ll need -
For without perfection at grass roots
You’ll not build skill or speed.
​
Attention’s needed all the time,
So watch your ball with care.
Don’t move your head too needlessly,
Or your balance you’ll impair.
​
These years of training and hard work
Will perfect your tennis style
And with that trophy in your hands,
You’ll know it was worthwhile.
