Do Something Different. (This is an expansion of what was originally a blog entry.)
MDTTC Christmas Camp
We're down to the last 1.5 days of our Christmas Camp. We have a full day today, and a half session tomorrow, and then we're off to celebrate the New Year.
So far I've given lectures on the grip, playing stance, forehand drive, backhand drive, forehand loop (against backspin, block, and topspin), backhand loop (against backspin, block, and topspin), backhand smash, footwork, and serving. I still have lectures coming up on pushing and receive. However, once we get through the lectures, my group is all kids from 6-8 years old, as I once again agreed to take on the younger beginning kids. (How did I go from being a Hall of Fame coach and writer to being a kindergartner teacher? Just kidding - but sometimes during a session it seems that way.)
