LI: To learn the basic grip on a tennis racket.

This week was our first session of kiwi sport. We are learning how to play tennis with Coach Peter. We started with a warm up.

In our pairs one person had to drop a tennis ball and the other person had to try and catch the ball. The person trying to catch the ball had to position the palm of their hands facing the ground and had to flip their hand to catch the ball. This warmed up our reactions. We then did the activity.

For the activity we were learning about the forehand and backhand technique. The forehand is when you place your dominant hand (the hand you write with) on the bottom of the tennis racket. The backhand is when you place your other hand above your dominant hand.
