Developing points in tennis is what makes this game so enjoyable. I came to this conclusion after watching a match between two 16 year old boys hit the ball so hard it was worth stopping to observe. The problem was that I found myself getting disinterested quickly.

How many times has one watched a point where the ball lands in the middle of the court with no thought process 20 to 30 times? To some this would be a great display of endurance. However tennis is built on the premise of tactics, height, depth, spin and much more.

In our junior academy we emphasize movement of the ball, different styles of play, and different shot making. The idea is teach our juniors rhythm and random shot making together to produce the best possible point. The points are still long lasting and any passer bye is much more inclined to watch a point where the ball travels from side to side, deep to short all ranging with different types of spin. Enjoy this pure complex game!
