Playing tennis is a great way to stay physically active and have fun. People of any age can enjoy playing tennis vista, either for fun or competitively. The only downside is that it can be difficult to learn how to play tennis without having some sort of lesson or guidance. Most people, however, find that taking tennis lessons is one of the best ways to become familiar with the game and improve their skills.

Tennis lessons for beginners near me can be beneficial to all kinds of players, regardless of age or skill level. Beginners should think about taking a series of lessons to learn the basics. Beginner lessons typically focus on the fundamentals, such as forehand and backhand strokes, volleying, and serving. Other topics at the beginner level include proper footwork and court orientation. Typically, a professional instructor will guide beginners through drills, exercises, and games to help them learn the proper techniques and gain confidence as they learn how to hit the ball.

Intermediate players who want to build on the basics and improve their technique also benefit from taking a tennis program near me. An instructor can help intermediate players work on their consistency and accuracy with different shots, and will also provide tips on shot selection and strategies for point play. At this level, lessons typically focus on making corrections to improve the player’s stroke mechanics and helping them to better understand how to best use their shots in play.

More advanced players may also take lessons to review their technique, gain insight into their game, and build on their existing skills. Advanced players tend to focus more on developing different kinds of shots and using more advanced strategies in match play. These players may also work with their instructor to refine their on-court mental game, such as staying focused and adapting to different opponents and playing styles.

Should You Take Tennis Lessons?

The age-old question of whether you should take tennis lessons or not is a common dilemma for many aspiring tennis enthusiasts. After all, there are pros and cons to taking official lessons, meaning it is ultimately your decision to make. Here, the question can be explored in more depth so that it may be easier to make up your mind.

On one hand, taking tennis lessons near me could create a great learning opportunity. Depending on what you are wanting to learn, professional tennis instructors may be able to help you improve by giving advice and feedback on stroke technique and overall court positioning. In addition, taking lessons gives you the opportunity to practice with others, learn new strategies, and discuss the shot selection. On the other hand, if taken wrongly, the lessons could devolve into nothing more than a great expensive waste of time. This is why it is hugely important to select the right instructor to fit your goals and aspirations; someone with sufficient experience, qualifications, and enthusiasm toward their job.

Sexy to Someone

Stanford!Art Donaldson x ShyStanford!Fem Reader

cw: minor use of y/n, small illusion to sex, minor cursing.

(loosely inspired by Sexy to Someone by Clairo<3)

Here you were sitting on the rigid, balmy bleachers of your campuses tennis court cringing at the way your thighs stuck to it in your denim shorts. You don’t even know why you’re here you tried to lie to yourself when you caught your eyes following his every move.

You watched as his sculpted body dripped with sweat after every move twirling the tattered wire of your old earphones. He had you in a trance Art fucking Donaldson completely controlled your mind without even knowing your name.

The final thirty minutes of his practice passed without you even realizing until you saw his lanky body stalk his way towards you until he sat beside you before speaking.

“What’s your name?” he prompted noticing how your body twitched as he got closer.

“Y/n” you said looking down at the pink chipped polish of your toenails avoiding his gaze.

“Y/n?” Art repeated watching closely at your body language before speaking again.

“I’ve noticed you watching us do you wanna join sometime and hit a few balls?”

“Oh no no I don’t play I just like watching sorry if you find that weird.” you confessed tugging at your left ear feeling it heat up.

Art let out a light laugh that sent shivers down your spine and a warm feeling between your legs

“Oh definitely not weird I think it’s cute” he spoke his gaze softening as he studied your features.

“Nobody really cares about our practices usually just the big matches i’m glad you understand how interesting our practices can be.”

You blinked up at him hearing the words come out of his mouth. “He thinks i’m cute?” you thought to yourself as you smiled up at him.

“Tell you what” Art continued.

“Next time I see you here i’ll give you a private lesson how does that sound?” he raised his eyebrow towards you waiting for a response.

“I’d really like that” you replied giving him the most genuine smile you could find the courage to put on.

“Great then it’s a date” he grinned at you before grabbing his bags waving you off as he left the bleachers heading towards the locker rooms.

You spent the rest of your day in a hazy daze thinking about your “date” with the star of Stanford’s Men’s Tennis team.

You think about telling your roommate before deciding against it knowing she’d never believe you anyways.

Here you were laying in your small dorm room bed fantasizing about your life with Art after barely knowing him for thirty minutes before drifting to sleep hoping he wouldn’t go back on his proposed idea.

The next afternoon, you arrived at the tennis courts earlier than usual. You found a spot on the bleachers, clutching your purse tightly.

Watching as the team practiced, your eyes always finding Art. He moved with so much confidence, getting your attention almost effortlessly.

As the practice session ended, Art caught your eye and waved. Your heart skipping a beat as he approached the row of bleachers you sat on quickly taking a seat beside you.

"Y/N," he greeted, his smile gleamed in the sun as he spoke to you. "Ready for your lesson?"

You nodding quickly, too quickly for your liking as you mentally cursed yourself to calm down as he handed you a racket leading you to the court.

Listening attentively as he talked you through the basics, his patience with you easing your nerves just enough to get you the heavy pit of doubt out of your stomach.

As the sun faded and the moon rises the two of you sat beside eachother on the court catching your breath.

“You know you’re pretty good for a beginner and someone who’s never picked up a racket a day in their life” he spoke easing the tension as he nudged you playfully.

You laughed softly finally locking eyes directly with him for the first time in the last twenty four hours.

"But what I really like about you is that you have this quiet determination It's endearing." he spoke reading your eyes for any signs of emotion.

Your heart swelled at his words. Glancing at him, feeling a connection you’ve never experienced before. "Thank you, Art. For everything."

Art leaned in closer, your faces inches apart.

"Anytime, Y/N," he murmured, his voice soft. "I'm glad you watched me. And I'm glad I finally got to see you, too."

In that moment, under the fading light, you felt a sense of belonging you had never known. Art had seen you really seen you, and in doing so, had made you feel so special.

And as you two sat together, sharing stories and dreams, you knew this was just the beginning of something beautiful.

Over the next few weeks, You and Art's private lessons became a regular thing.

Each session brought you two closer, your bond growing stronger with every shared laugh and encouraging word.

Art would often stay behind after practice, teaching you not just the game of tennis, but also how to open up and let your guard down. In his presence, you felt yourself transforming, your shyness gradually giving way to a quiet confidence.

after a particularly intense practice, the two of you sat side by side on the bleachers, shoulders touching.

The conversation flowed easily, filled with shared secrets and dreams. Art looked at you. His eyes reflecting the soft glow of the setting sun.

"You know, Y/N," he said, his voice gentle, "I've always thought you were beautiful.

“You’ve noticed me before now?” You stammered out as your heart skipped a beat causing you to tug at your ear again.

“Of course I did, never had enough courage to make a move. He admitted with a soft chuckle.

You cut his laugh short quickly catching his lips between yours as you moved yourself into his lap as his hands fell on your waist kissing you back gently.

For the first time in your life, you felt desirable, valued not just for your looks but for your spirit.

Finally, you were sexy to someone.

mmm could you give me some dirtbag tennis coach! patrick x barely legal! reader. she’s just freshly 18 as of a few weeks ago and she’s been waitinggg to get her hands on an older man. who is he to deny her that?

dirtbag coach! patrick zweig x barely legal fem! reader (headcanons)

- patrick first comes into your life to coach your younger sibling during summer break, you observe him from the kitchen window, sipping on a glass of lemonade and watching him stretch and swing the racket <3

- your parents actually catch you staring at him, but they assume it's because you want to learn tennis too, so they ask patrick to teach you as well <3

- as your coach, patrick is very strict, he always corrects your form, standing closely behind you as he guides your form with his big warm hands... and you definitely notice the bulge pressing against your lower back <3

- patrick isn't stupid, he has enough experience to know that you like him, i mean a dumbass could tell that when you come out and watch him coach your sibling, sucking on a lollipop and making eyes at him <3

- it annoys you that patrick won't do anything about the mutual understanding youve reached, he won't even talk to you outside of your lessons :( but, of course patrick is no beginner when it comes to lust, so, against the judgement he might make with his dick (which he desperately wants to ram inside you), he uses his brain, thinking things can only get hotter if he keeps resisting your advances <3

- patrick (surprisingly) does have morals and does feel bad that he's so much older than you, he knows it's wrong but after he leaves your lessons he sits in his car and fists his cock furiously to the thought of being your first real man <3

- it hurts him to grit his teeth and pretend that all is well when you flash your lacy panties at him from under your skirt, or roll your hips back into his when he's behind you correcting your form <3

- but, as we know, patrick isn't perfect, and of course he snaps, telling your parents he's taking you to his car to show you a new racket he picked out (a dumb lie, but they believe it), you immediately find yourself pinned down in the backseat, his hairy, meaty thigh between your legs and the scruff on his face tickling your cheeks <3

- he's surprised to find out you're a virgin, despite acting so sensually towards him, but the minute he sees blood at the base of his dick he can't help but pound you so hard into the backseat that the car rocks, he knows you're a keeper when you slip him your underwear to hang on to as you prance back to your house <3

Hobbies you have?

I golf. I’ve golfed with my dad since I was 13. It’s the thing we do together and when we’re apart, and I’m quite good at it now. I think it’s important to have at least one form of physical sport that you do, and golfing is mine. I follow the LPGA and PGA tours, and it’s one of my favorite activities to do on the weekends and when I have time to leave the library and swing.

 

I sail as well, not as much now that I’m on the ocean, but I did it a lot when I had access to the lakes. I personally love it; I think it’s really fun and a great way to learn your way around the water. Sailing was one of the best ways for me to become at ease with the water, and I’m a very good swimmer from years of practice. 

 

I’m a major fan of ceramics; I’m a member of a private ceramics shop here in LA, and I create my own creations. It’s the ultimate form of self-care for me; it relaxes me, and I love the things I’ve been able to create. I think a lot of people think that ceramics studios are incredibly pricey, but the ones I’ve been to have been affordable, had lessons for beginners, and been geared towards a younger (mid twenties) crowd.

 

I play tennis. I know it’s another sport, but I think it’s important to list because it’s a major part of my life. I try to play singles on Mondays and Fridays, and I usually play doubles on Tuesdays and Thursdays now that I’m on campus. I think it’s a great form of exercise; it’s easy to learn and get into, and I grew up being obsessed with Althea Gibson and how she was truly a pioneer, and that fascination has never left me. 

 

I cook and love cooking. I hosted a Monday night supper club when I was living in NYC, and exploring with food has really helped heal me. I love planning menus, working with new strange and new ingredients, going to markets that stock foreign food, and trying things from new cultures. I’m the type of girl who could look at a fridge with three things in it and make something out of nothing. Cooking is one of my favorite ways to indulge my sense of adventure. 

[challenger-fan-club]

so can we just have patrick coaching reader. It's 2006 and reader is terrible at tennis so we have her convince patrick to coach her and then yk what to do

This isn't smutty but I can do more :))))

Patrick decided that he needs to make a little extra money on the side. The dates have been working for a place to stay but it's getting exhausting for him. He needs to just have a shower and a place of his own so he offers at the local tennis club. He was able to get some clients through the club and he also put flyers around town. You hadn't really through about tennis but you had wanted to lose a bit of weight and it seemed like fun. You hadn't really played since you were little so it really was like going back to basics. You signed up for a one on one session with Patrick and he was grateful for the business. "Nice to meet you, I'm Patrick Zweig." He reaches his hand out to shake yours as he looks you up and down. You had bought a tennis skirt and work out top along with a new racket. "Lets see what you can do." He shows you the tennis court as you unzip the racket. He stands at the other side of the court and hits the ball to you and you miss. "It's okay, try again." You shake off as the sun hits your body, like a glowing aura. He hits the ball again and you miss a second time. "Okay, so really we're going back to basics." He laughs and you are almost embarrassed that you've already missed. "It's okay, don't worry you'll get it." He smiles at you as you start to practice. The practice goes on and you miss most of the shots. Every time he goes for his water bottle, you can't help but think how handsome he is. At the end of the session, Patrick slightly suggests that you'd be better with a starter coach and that he usually trains people who are more experienced. You're a bit deflated at the thought. There is a class for starters but theres usually a lot of kids in the class and it puts you off the whole tennis idea.

"I really liked working with you." You offer him as you walk away from the court. "Do you think we could keep training?" You try to flutter your eyelashes at him. "I really don't want to be in the beginners class with all the little kids." He chuckles. "Again, I really only do this with people who already have a basic level, the beginner class isn't all kids." He laughs. "Do you teach the beginners class?" He shakes his head. "Nah, Kids aren't really my level, one of the other coaches do it." He sees that you're a bit disappointed. "Can we try? I'm a very quick learner... And I do very well at taking instructions." Patrick raises his eyebrows at you. "Okay, okay, you're persistent, I'll give you that. You should try with the machine for a while, then come back and we can set up another one to one." You smile at him and give him your number... Just in case he didn't get it from the tennis club directly.

You go to the ball machines three times a week to try and get better. You manage to hit some of the balls back and Patrick happens to be walking by on his way to another lesson. "Looking good." He smiles at you as you get distracted and get hit by the ball. He giggles and runs down to the cages and switches it off. "You okay?" He laughs as he walks over to you. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just got a bit distracted. Didn't realize I had an audience." He laughs. "You look good, look like you're doing much better." You don't know if he just means that your TENNIS looks good or if he means something else. "You should call me, set up another lesson... See if you can actually play against someone else." He smirks at you and you're almost weak at the knees. "Yeah, I'll do that."

There is some minor flirting between you both. At least you take it as flirting. He helps you with your grip and stands behind you, hands on your hips, making them face forward. His hands move up your arms and along to your hands as he helps you readjust. You push yourself back on his slightly as he holds you. "Feel that? That's what you should be aiming for." You turn your head to look at him and theres a moment when you swear he was close to kissing you. Patrick then pulls away and returns to the otherside of the net. Your heart feels like it's beating out of your chest after he's done touching you. After the lesson, you walk back towards the changing rooms together. "You're looking really good out there." He says again. "I bet you say that to all the girls." You quip back. "No, no, I really mean it with you." He smiles at you as he puts his hand to your back. There is another moment. "Will you just kiss me already?" Patrick smirks as he says the words. "Am I that obvious?" He cocks his head slightly, grinning from ear to ear. "I like the effort you put in to see me but why didn't you just ask me to dinner?" You blush at the idea. "So, where should I take you?"

Cardio Tennis: A Comprehensive Fitness Experience

Cardio Tennis is revolutionising the way people approach both fitness and tennis, merging high-energy workouts with the sport's fundamentals in a fun and social environment. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking to try something new, Cardio Tennis offers a unique blend of exercise and sport, ensuring participants reap numerous benefits.

What is Cardio Tennis?

Cardio Tennis is a group fitness class that combines tennis drills and games with cardiovascular exercise, all set to lively, upbeat music. The primary focus is on getting your heart rate up and burning calories while engaging in tennis-related activities. Unlike traditional tennis lessons, Cardio Tennis emphasises constant movement and a non-stop workout experience, making it an effective and enjoyable way to improve your fitness and tennis skills simultaneously.

Former professional tennis coach George Thomas from TennisHQ say, “Cardio tennis has always been a joy to teach because it draws a diverse group of participants, each at different stages in their tennis and fitness journeys. The beauty of cardio tennis is that it benefits everyone equally, regardless of their skill or fitness level. Many attendees forget they're even in a fitness class because it's so fun and adaptable to any challenge level. With hundreds of different drills, no session is ever the same, and coaches are always looking for new elements to keep the classes fresh and engaging.” 

Fitness Benefits

From a fitness perspective, Cardio Tennis offers numerous advantages:

Calorie Burning: Engaging in Cardio Tennis can help you burn up to 600 calories per hour. The continuous movement and high-intensity drills ensure you get a thorough cardiovascular workout.

Improved Cardiovascular Health: The aerobic nature of the class helps strengthen your heart and lungs, improving your overall cardiovascular endurance.

Enhanced Agility and Coordination: Tennis-specific drills enhance your agility, coordination, and reaction time, providing a full-body workout.

Self-Paced Intensity: Participants can adjust the intensity of their workout, pushing themselves as hard as they feel comfortable. This self-paced approach makes it accessible to all fitness levels.

Motivational Music: Upbeat and energetic music keeps participants motivated, making the workout feel more like a dance party than a traditional exercise session.

Tennis Benefits

For those interested in tennis, Cardio Tennis offers a perfect entry point:

Good Way to Get Into Tennis: The class structure introduces beginners to tennis basics in a relaxed environment, fostering a love for the game without the pressure of formal lessons.

Skill Improvement for All Levels: Whether you’re new to tennis or an advanced player, the varied drills help improve your technique, footwork, and game strategy.

Inclusive Classes: With sessions tailored to accommodate different skill levels, everyone can participate and progress at their own pace.

Social and Relaxed Environment

One of the standout features of Cardio Tennis is the social aspect. The class setting is relaxed and welcoming, encouraging interaction among participants. This social component not only makes the sessions more enjoyable but also helps build a supportive community. Many participants find themselves forming friendships and looking forward to the camaraderie as much as the workout.

Ideal for Gym Goers

For those who frequent the gym, Cardio Tennis provides a refreshing alternative to traditional workouts:

Variety in Routine: Incorporating Cardio Tennis into your fitness regimen can break the monotony of typical gym exercises, keeping your routine dynamic and exciting.

Full-Body Engagement: Unlike many gym workouts that isolate muscle groups, Cardio Tennis engages your entire body, offering a comprehensive fitness solution.

Cardio Tennis is more than just a workout; it’s an enjoyable, social, and effective way to get fit and improve your tennis skills. With its inclusive classes, motivational environment, and dual benefits for both fitness enthusiasts and tennis players, it’s no wonder Cardio Tennis is growing in popularity.

Norwegian Bokmål for Total Beginners (January 2024 Crash Course)

17. Days of the week

Hello everyone! Today's lesson is easy: days of the week!

mandag - Monday

tirsdag - Tuesday

onsdag - Wednesday

torsdag - Thursday

fredag - Friday

lørdag - Saturday

søndag - Sunday

Grammar: On this day...

When you say you do something on a particular day, use på. If it's just a one-off, use the day in the singular. If you always do an activity on a particular day every week, make it plural:

Jeg spiller tennis på lørdager (I play tennis on Saturdays)

Hun kjøpte melk på onsdag (She bought milk on Wednesday)

De drar hjem på tirsday (They're going home on Tuesday)

Hva gjør du på mandag? (What are you doing on Monday?)

Notice that days of the week don't start with a capital letter in Norwegian like they do in English.

Etymology

The origins of the days of the week names in Norwegian are fairly similar to those in English:

mandag = moon day

tirsdag = Tyr's day (from Tyr, the god of war in the Norse pantheon)

onsdag = Odin's day

torsdag = Thor's day

fredag = Frigg's day (goddess of prophecy and motherhood)

lørdag = washing day (laundry day)

søndag = sun day
