The game of kings began, according to historians, in the
monastic cloisters in northern France in the 12th century, but
the ball was then struck with the palm of the hand hence the
name jeu de paume (“game of the palm”). It was not until the
16th century that rackets came into use, and the game was
referred to as “tennis”. It was popular in England and France,
although the game was only played indoors where the ball
could be hit off the wall. Henry VIII of England was a big fan
of this game, which historians now refer to his contribution as
the beginning of real tennis.
The game grew rapidly and the variations of surfaces made
the 20th century game much more widely accepted throughout
the world. It was 1900 where the game actually became a true
worldwide competitive sport with the beginning of the Davis
Cup competition where countries compete for this prestigious
title which is still being played today.
In 1968 the modern era of tennis began with amateurs and
professionals competing on the same level at the grand slams
therefore allowing everyone an equal opportunity to make a
living playing this so called: “game of kings”.
Now you may be wondering how you can learn to play. There
are two areas where the beginning player can get started learning
the game, the private lesson and the beginning tennis class.
Private lessons are designed to give you the technical skills
necessary to make the game fun. We cover all aspects of the
game from start to finish and equip you with the necessary
tools to help you actually learn the basics of how it all works.
The beginner’s class is similar to the private in its instruction
curriculum but covers the skills in much more depth over a
four or six week session. This is always the best value if you
are seriously looking to take up the game.
The private lesson also has a place with the more advanced
player who is looking to improve on areas of their game that
needs attention. More power for the serve, a better backhand
or just making some simple but real improvements.
The clinic is where we work on a set of skills separately with
repetitive drills and live ball play. We use the term “personal
development clinic” since the curriculum is designed to help
improve specific areas of your game but under controlled live
ball conditions with a group of 4 to 8 players.
So whatever your needs, a private lesson, the class or the
workout clinic, I am sure we can help you get into tennis,
improve on your game, or just help you find a way to make
the game more fun!
