"Tennis Coaching" I said as Shivers went up my spine, I got  excited straight away. Even though I haven't played it before. This sport is not that popular like rugby in New Zealand.

The Forehand was the first skill we learnt.We had to grab a partner and start practising how to use the forehand. Our Coach Marcel  hit the ball gently, as I Smashed it across the net with a overshot. Sooner later, the whole class mastered that techneque and moved on.

For grip you pick up the racket up and hold it like a frying pan. It's like holding a baseball bat. Then I put the tennis ball on the racket, and started balancing it. We then had to bounce the ball on the ground with the racket, I got the hang of it.

Finally we split up into groups of 6 for a little game of tennis, but the winner stays on. I really wanted to go first but I had to be patient and wait in line. My first was up against Crusader and I spiked him with with a overhand. Then I was KING and I went on challanging other people like Kingston, It was a rally but he smashed it past me to win.

The first day of Tennis coaching was really cool. I can't wait to play next week!!!
