HITTING ONLY SESSIONS !!!
Are you looking for a tennis partner to hit with? Would you like to really challenge yourself out on the tennis court? Tennis hitting only sessions are designed for tennis players who aren’t looking for lessons but would like to hit back and forth with a player that is at the same skill level or better. In fact, both are very beneficial.
Of course it is enjoyable to play tennis with someone at your own skill level which then in turn builds confidence and consistency. And generally you’ll find that playing tennis with someone that is better than you can be challenging but as a result will make you a better tennis player. Have fun testing your skills by taking a tennis hitting only session from a fun coach at CoachUp !!!
One of the advantages to hitting only sessions is the simple fact that you don’t have to keep score because you don’t necessarily have to play for points. There is freedom when the competitive pressure is gone which can present an opportunity to focus on improving specific areas of weakness. Competitive tennis play can make you tense-so why not just relax and go out and rip it!
There is truth to the old saying that “practice makes perfect” and tennis hitting only sessions will definitely help towards that effort. A hitting only session allows the player the time they need that is necessary to both excel and enhance their tennis game without the time constraint of instruction. Practice, practice, practice is very important for player development in any sport. Excelling in tennis is a process that takes time, dedication and a lot of hard work. There is no substitute for hard work and hard work pays off.
Tennis hitting only sessions are a great option for tennis players that have the desire to practice, improve and have fun. So what are you waiting for? Why not try a hitting only session today with a quality, affordable tennis coach and college tennis player only at CoachUp !!
