Tennis Across Texas

2007 Tennis Season

Hi Y'all.

Are you excited about the new year and all the tennis that you are about to play?

Are you confident that your strokes are solid?

Is your stragedy strong and your court tactics effective?

Coaches can only do so much but it is YOU who have to sacrifice and train if you really want to improve your tennis game.

The only thing that separates you from reaching your goal, whatever it is, is dedication to the task at hand....and practice.

You know, just about everyone can improve their tennis game a bit simply by practicing every chance they get.

BUT...you must practice correctly and efficiently to benefit from spending all that time on the courts.

Call me up and allow me the privilage of sharing with you better practice methods.

I hope that you have a GREAT new year of tennis and I especially look forward to coming to your town to help you either learn how to play the GREAT game of Tennis or help improve your game.

Coaches & parents, please feel free to call me @ 361-442-0393 if you would like to get together.

Kids, I hope that you have a GREAT season.

"See you on the Courts".

Coach Ron

The 2006 Robstown Cotten Pickers Tennis Team

I sure had a fun time hitting with all of you. Learn the basics well so that you will have a solid tennis game and have fun playing it. Thanks Coach Marcie for inviting me over to Robstown.

See how difficult it is to Return a "Kick Serve". You need to Learn how to Do it.

Aim for any of the 7 target areas on your Opponent's side of the Court.

Remember to "High 5" and just Block the ball back for a nice Volley

Working on Volleys

Nice reach for that Volley.

Now that's a nice Volley.

Toss the ball up to about a foot from your hand then hit a smooth Serve.

Watch where your opponent is & hit the ball somewhere else.

Excuse us Coach Ron while we "Pause & Pose" for a moment.

Nice workout - you both did well.

Playing tennis makes you smile

Just a Fantastic Group of Tennis Players. Coach Shawn & I really enjoy hitting tennis balls with all of you each week. We really want to say, "Thank You" for all of the cool and artistic letters and cards that you sent to us. That was a very nice thing to do. Everyone at the Al Kruse Tennis Center really appreciates all the time and hard work that it took for that to be done. You all did a GREAT job.
