Yesterday you had your first attempt at mini minor tennis - which is for 3 - 6 year olds and is held at a big indoor tennis centre. The mini minor tennis is played on a special miniature court,with mini rackets.
We thought that as Swimming and soccertots has stopped for the summer holidays we would try it out.
Well, you just loved it. You couldn't wait to get onto the court, pushing your way to the front of the queue to pay your £2.50 - and were not happy with mommy when I made you stand at the back of the queue and wait!!
As soon as you'd told the teacher your name and payed over the money, you were gone!! Straight onto the court chatting away to the other boys and girls. Just seeing you run off so confidently made us so proud....
The lesson started with some running and side steps up and down the court, and you enthusiastically threw yourself into this exercise.. giving a running commentary to all who would listen as you did this.
Then it was onto basic ball skills with some balancing of the ball on the racket, and taking turns at hitting the ball over the net. Twice you actually hit it!!! I had to control myself and resist jumping up yelling and clapping!!
Then there were ball games, dodgeball was your favourite and you actually won!!
Needless to say, I think this is going to become a regular saturday morning event. of course, Mom and dad don't mind as we get a 40 min coffee date!!!
