PRESTBURY TENNIS CLUB APRIL 2011
Dear Prestbury members,
The last few weeks the teams have been practising hard for a successful season in the North East Cheshire League and Aegon Team Tennis League. Captains have been organising practice sessions that have had big attendances in the Men’s, Ladies, Junior & Mini Tennis Teams. Big thanks to players & parents for their dedication & commitment to training, playing matches and to the club!

Match to watch!
Battle of the Prestbury ladies. PreSTbury 5 v Prestbury 4! Sunday 10th April 6:30pm. Will the 5th’s cause an upset?
There has been a big increase in girls playing and hope that we can encourage girls to start playing competitions, starting with the Davis Cup Competition at Junior Club night.
Last of all thanks to both Jarek & Anthony who have had a tiring winter with their babies & with tough weather conditions again. Also good luck to Anthony when he flies the Barbados Flag for this year’s Davis Cup Competition.
Without a doubt the club is going from strength to strength, yet we hope there will be some new recruits from the club’s open days. There will be Video analysis & Cardio tennis Sessions on offer to current and new players to the club on the open days.
Good Luck for Spring & Summer 2011!!

Doubles Strategy Tip
On occasion the volleYEr on the serving team should go right across for the interception and cover the servers side. Don’t forget to tell your partner so they can cover your side after they serve

Tournament quick tip
Scout your opponents by asking other players how they play, watch them & look at their results. Don’t lose track of your game plan & strengths and play to their weaknessEs.
Strength & Conditioning quick tip
Try sitting on a swiss ball on 1 leg and shadow some shots by keeping your stomach muscles tucked in. The ball helps players tone their abdominal muscles, improve balance & stability of muscles.

Mental Quick Tip
Breathe out when you hit the ball to release tension and get timing. By using this routinely this can help relax muscles and keep you focused!
