To Andy and Jean:

I am writing to say thank you for everything you have done to help me. I learned so much for 9.5 days. I know there are so much more to learn in the future.

Also would like to thanks all my classmates for helping me during the course.  Anna, Kels, Val,Flora, Brendan, Eric, Dan, Enrico, Michael,Tom, Tim and Norman....... you all helped me to improve my tennis and  teaching. Hope to see you again in tennis court. Enjoyed playing with all of you.

best regards, Ricky

ps also Jean, Brenda, Victoria and Linda for doing the drill with us.

Get ready

Hi all,
Our final weekend is upon us.  We have covered most of what we need to for you to be ready for the testing that is coming this weekend.  We will tidy up all the tests that are outstanding and spend time practicing.  Take some time to review ball controls because we will formally test that this weekend.

Jean & I are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Cheers,
Andy

A few things...

Hi everyone,
It's been a busy week.  I hope you are all able to get some time to enjoy this long weekend.

The pages that need to be completed in Workbook #2 are: pgs 8 - 11.  I recommend that you take a look at and make some personally meaningful notes on pgs 18 & 19, B.D.P.S. on pgs 21 - 24, T.S.S on pgs 25 - 27, P. L. on pgs 28 - 30.

I wasn't able to come up with any other good sites for games, but here is a start.  I'll post more as I come across them.  I will also make a point to show you some more games during th enext weekend.

2/3 done!

Good work everyone. We have one more weekend to go and I am looking forward to seeing all of you again.  Workbook 4 is due on Friday, July 20th.  For any of you who have outstanding submissions please make sure that you have them in, preferably by Friday, but definitely before the end of the weekend.

I'll have more soon.

6 organizational elements

They refer to the 6 organizational elements in the "planning a lesson competency". I'm not sure what they are. I found something that talks about phase of play, zone, focus, ball received, ball sent and environment.
Anyone else get that? or something that actually makes sense lol

Thanx
Tom

Meeting time 8 a.m.

Andy, I just want to double check the meeting time for coming Fri, Sat, Sun at 8 a.m.?
Thank you.

CP1 Manual

 Thanx for the replay Anna. Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble getting onto the CP1 manual on the TPA website.
I've been trying all day and it keeps telling me that the page is no longer available. Anyone else know how to access the resource material?
Thanx
Tom

hey guys is it the work book 3 that is due next time we meet?
Is it as long as the first one?
Thanks

Tom
