Lawn tennis


I have always liked to play lawn tennis but never had a chance to play so I decided to use this opportunity and take it up as my CAS so that I would get to learn a new interesting sport, I have also seen a few games and realised that is a fast-paced agility game which is an interesting and fun part of the sport, it is a bit faster paced than badminton due to the aerodynamics, I have wanted to play the sport mostly due to these reasons.

I have been practising with 2 of my friends so we had collaboratively practised and explained my mistakes so that I would improve faster and even better, they explained to me my rally wasn’t happening because I didn’t have good agility and my aim wasn’t landing correctly as my racket handling was also wrong.
