For kiwi sport we learnt the basics of holding a tennis racket. Our coach was Coach Peter. he taught us the basics of holding a Tennis Racket.To warm up we did some catching. Our partner has to hold a ball above our hands facing down. The other person who is going to catch the ball has to try to catch it but our hands has to face down. Once they drop the ball the person has to catch it. After the warm up we did throwing and hitting. The partner has to throw three balls to the other person with the racket. To hold the racket you have to use the hand that you use writing with and hold it at the bottom. The is called the Forehand. The other way is to hold both hands on the Tennis racket at the bottom. That's called Backhand.
