Friday doubles clinic 6pm Amelia National. Learn why you serve down the middle, slam the ball at the net man and approach cross court.

Pressure is imaginary. There are no big points. There is only the ball. This ball, here, now.

Zen Fact: Do you know what percentage of points the first team to the net wins in doubles? 80%! Time to work on your net game.

Zen Tip: In tennis you don’t hit the ball with your racket. Power comes from your torso. Try to hit the ball with your bellybutton.
