About the Product
Learning to play tennis has never been easier—or more fun—than with Tennis Fundamentals.
Recreational athletes will enjoy using this resource because they will
learn by doing, spending less time reading and more time on the court.
With explicit yet succinct instructions and accompanying photographs,
this book makes it easy for students to get right into the game.
Tennis Fundamentals covers the essential skills of the game with
chapters on grips, footwork, forehands, backhands, lobs, volleys,
overhead smashes, drop shots, the serve, and return of serve. It also
covers tactical approaches for both singles and doubles play, as well
as scoring, equipment, and etiquette. It’s the complete guide to being
able to participate on the tennis court right away.
Each chapter teaches a specific skill, leading the student through a simple, four-step sequence:
- You Can Do It: The skill is introduced with sequential instructions and accompanying photographs.
- More to Choose and Use: Variations and extensions of the primary skill are covered.
- Take It to the Court: Readers learn how to apply the skill in competition.

practice games—help speed the learning process and make practice more
interesting and productive.
