This course builds on the skills learned in Elementary Tennis, introducing more advanced tennis skills and strategy. As a result of participation in Intermediate Tennis, students will improve the consistency of their basic tennis skills including the groundstrokes, volley and serves. With emphasis on footwork, positioning, and ball placement, students will be able to execute strategies for singles and doubles play. Students will also become familiar with the use of varied grips and spins, as well as specialty shots such as the overhead, lob and dropshot. Students will be able to implement their developing skills and strategies into match play.
