Spring Woodlands Tennis Videos

Coach Ken Olivier is the junior academy director and head coach! This a welcome video and an introduction to coach Ken. 

Greg is working on jumping into the court on his left foot. This is the correct way to serve for a right hander. A left hander would jump in on the right foot. 

Nabilah working on her ground strokes, movement and racket head speed. She is home schooled and plans on playing college tennis on scholarship. 

Alexa Gagnon is 7 years old and wants to become #1 in the world! She is athletic and is learning correct technique and footwork patterns to reach her goals.

Tennis is a movement sport! Running sprints, working on agility, strength and flexibility are all important components of becoming a competitive tennis player. 

This is our Red Raiders tennis class for beginner players. We focus on developing racket awareness, balance, hand eye coordination and the basic strokes in tennis. We use modified equipment to help the learning process. It is important to us to provide a positive environment that is both focused on learning and fun! 

Marjorie is working on shortening her backswing on her forehand doing shadow swinging. This is a technique we use to help kids learn correctly. Improving  technique  helps hit the ball straighter and increases racket head acceleration.

Izzie is doing a great job getting her racket head lower. She came to us with an excessive backswing that was way too high. 

Zuri stops her racket and loses momentum. This is called a hitch in the serve. We are fixing it in this video.
