About This Lesson
This 2 week unit is designed for high school age (14-18 years old) students. It is made with the assumption that within the class I will have a mix of players with skills ranging from beginners to novices to competent. The reason for this 2 week unit is because tennis is a sport that kids can learn at a young age and maintain a level of play that they can continue throughout their lives. Unlike other sports where the wear and tear is harder on the body long-term, it is a great way to stay in good health and good shape while having fun. The lesson aims to give kids a fundamental understanding of how the game of tennis is played to allow them to play outside the confines of the school setting.
