Rachel and Eve had a good start to their tennis experience. The weather was in the high 70s Fahrenheit, low humidity with light breezes. Rachel is fortunate to have the 8:30am to 10:30 time slight, while Eve gets the hotter part of the day starting at 11:00am. There are 2 coaches and an assistant coach to help the kids. The groups were manageable at about 16 or 18 each. The girls learned what stretches to do before beginning to play and then how to hold their racquet. They also learned the areas of the court. Then, they practiced their forehand stroke, followed by backhand. Our kids are not athletically gifted (genetic...I think), but they both said they had a good time.
The Williams sisters are currently secure on their tennis throne.
Rachel was in the first group:
I love the shrugged shoulders and the funny expression:

Eve was in the second group and prepares with some stretching:

The girls look so cute and happy with their new adventure in tennis. I am so glad the weather is cooler this week for them.
Whoo Hoo
Are you insinuating that our kids got their love of team sports from me?

You and me both! I'm aiming to get a book printed, I think I'll end up getting another "Things" book printed (if you can get a reprint of an existing book) so I have one for myself seeings that one went to mum.
I so admire your girls with the tennis. I'm so unco-ordinated. Not in my lifetime!
