Last week, on Monday, we went to David Lloyd Leisure Centre. David Lloyd is mainly a tennis centre but you can swim there and exercise. Like last year, we went there to do tennis. Our coach for the afternoon was Mihaly.

For half of the afternoon we were learning how to do a rally. A rally is when two tennis players hit the ball to each other and it doesn't go past them. Also we were learning to do a rally with a forehand. Did you know that a forehand is when you use your strong hand to hold the tennis racquet and swing the racquet and hit the ball? My partner was Zihana and she was very good.
For the other half, we played a match using backhand and forehand. A backhand is when someone hits the ball on the side your weak hand is and you swing the racquet on the other side and put your weak hand on the racquet and hit.

All in all, I had a great time and learnt new skills. I am definitely better at tennis now!
