Graham is finally old enough to start tennis lessons and that is just what he did this week at Eugene Swim and Tennis.
He's had his tennis raquet for a couple years now, but believe it or not, I sort of forgot that he would also need tennis shoes to participate in the lessons! I scrambled and found a great pair at Payless just before his lesson on Monday morning.
There were two instructors to wrangle about 7-8 kids between the ages of 4 and 6 - they did a great job teaching some basic skills and keeping everyone engaged and having fun :)
They even did a little teaching about how to clean up all the practice balls....
Graham was so excited to be there, and on the first day even stopped a couple people as he walked to the lesson court to tell them that he had a tennis lesson today! This session was for an hour/day for three days - G had a blast and says he would like to play more.
It was good for us to watch the lessons so we know what things we can work on with him too - between Pa-Paw, Grandma Chery, and Wil, there are plenty of years of tennis experience for G to learn from :)
