  • Tennis Study Guide
    TENNIS STUDY GUIDE HISTORY Mary Outerbridge is credited with bringing tennis to America in the mid-1870’s by introducing it to the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club. In 1880 the United States Lawn Tennis Association (USLTA) was established, Lawn was dropped from the name in the 1970’s and now go by (USTA). Tennis began as a lawn sport, but later clay, asphalt and concrete became more standard surfaces. The four most prestigious World tennis tournaments include: the U.S. Open, Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon . In 1988, tennis became an official medal sport. Tennis can be played year round, is low in cost, and needs only two or four players; it is also suitable for all age groups as well as both sexes. EQUIPMENT The only equipment needed to play tennis consists of a racket, a can of balls, court shoes and clothing that permits easy movement. The most important tip for beginners to remember is to find a racket with the right grip. The net hangs 42 inches high at each post and 36 inches high at the center. RULES The game starts when one person serves from anywhere behind the baseline to the right of the center mark and to the left of the doubles sideline. The server has two chances to serve legally into the diagonal service court. Failure to serve into the court or making a serving fault results in a point for the opponents. The same server continues to alternate serving courts until the game is finished, and then the opponent serves.

  • When Toblitz How Toblitz
    THE BLITZ PLATFORM TENNIS TIPS The Art of BlitzingBY JERONIE BARNES 1 In both football and platform tennis, blitzing involves an aggressive effort made by the defensive team to apply pressure and be disruptive to the offensive team. In platform tennis, a blitz takes place when a player from the backcourt moves forward toward the net and attacks the offensive side when one or both of their opponents are positioned at the net. Although it may look like a reckless, kamikaze attack on the opposition, more often than not, it requires preparation, teamwork, timing, placement, speed, and quick hands to pull off a winning blitz.

For example, ’15 all’ means that both players have a score of 15 Ball boy/girl – professional tournaments use young boys or girls to collect tennis balls during a game Ball change – in tournaments the balls are changed after a certain number of games to ensure they stay as bouncy as possible Baseline – the line marking the front and back of a tennis court Bounce – when a tennis ball hits the ground, it goes back into the air - the ball has bounced. During a match, the ball often becomes less bouncy and needs changing for a new ball Deuce – if a score gets to 40-40, the score is called deuce – at this stage, the winner of the game is the first player to now win two points in a row Doubles – a four-player game Down-the-line – a shot that travels parallel to and along the sideline Drive – a hard, straight shot often used to pass an opponent at the net Drop shot – a gently played shot that just gets over the net so the other player can’t reach it Ends – each side of the court (that begins with a baseline) Fault – a serve which hits the net and / or lands outside the service box Foot fault – this happens when a server’s foot touches the ground in front of the baseline or the wrong side of the centre mark (on the baseline) before the player hits the ball Game – a player wins a game if, generally, they are the first player to win four points Ground stroke – a shot that is made after the ball has bounced Half-volley – a shot hit just as the ball bounces Let – when a serve hits the top of the net and lands within the service box, it is known as a ‘let’ and the server must serve again Lob – a shot played deliberately high into the air to land at the back of the opponent’s court Love – a score of zero points in a game or zero games in a set Match – Usually, in men’s tennis, the first player to win three sets wins the match.

  • 3 Steps to Winning Your Serve by Todd Ward / PPTA Professional and APTA Board Member Reprinted from Platform Tennis Magazine, April 2007
    3 Steps to Winning Your Serve By Todd Ward / PPTA Professional and APTA Board Member Reprinted from Platform Tennis Magazine, April 2007 The most feared shot in the game is the return of serve. I see many servers get unnerved before ever putting a ball in the court. The game of platform tennis is a game of routine. Often times, many of the same shots are hit again and again. Defending the return of serve should be no different. 1. PICK YOUR SPOT No matter if the returner hits their return 1, 10 or 100 mph, I teach my students to make the serve and first volley a routine. When grasping this concept, one must understand it is okay to have the returner drive the ball as long as the return is hit on the server's terms. This means moving the serve around - either into the body or away from the body. However, remember that no matter where a serve is placed, a good returner will drive the ball. 2. GET TO THE SPOT Most drivers tend to hit the ball over the same area each time. That area is located two feet on either side of the center strap. As a server, I tell students to look at the spot where they are going to make that first volley from and GET THERE! After the server does this repeatedly, they start to realize that the first volley appears to be in the same location every time. 3. VOLLEY TO THE SPOT The server is now more than half way to neutralizing the returner, but you are not done yet! Especially for intermediates and advanced players, the first volley needs to go to an area of the court that will hopefully reward them with a lob.
