DC loved tennis but we had to give it up for a year. We have now moved and only space for dc10 in new club is with children a year older. DC is last year primary and the other kids are in secondary so it is a bit of a difference. It is also on a full court now whereas she was still on half court at last place.
She is not as good as the other players and she still can't get a serve or a drop serve in, in a full size court, and struggles to get a rally over 2 or 3 hits.
My question is - is this just practice? If she keeps practising over and over she will eventually start to get it the serve and drop serve in? I want to say something encouraging to her. If I take her to a local court at the weekend and just let her keep trying will that make a difference?
The coach is getting them all to play against each other, move around a lot, and he gives continuous advice on serving and technique.
