04 May - Tennis Lessons

Tuesday afternoon has seen Jaxon begin tennis lessons. Yesterday Scott broke away from work early enough to take him. He took Indi along for the ride and they had a great time on the court.

After a bit of practise on the lawn in the compound with Dad over the weekend Jaxon impressed his coach this week.

All lined up; eyes squinted, tongue out; foot across my body (like Daddy told me); ready to unload.

I tell you what, when he does eventually connect to one he isn't going to leave any of it behind.

It's always helpful to have your baby sister right in your face to tell you how it's done.

Indi was the 'Number One' ball collector for the session, and she wasn't even getting a go. What a good little girl.

Serving may be a little beyond him right now. Practise, practise, practise.

Last on the agenda was a throwing game to improve their aim. Now this was something that Indi could do and do well. The coach was very surprised at how strong Indi's arm was. Must be all that food she eats.

Jaxon went the underarm route for the most effective way to cause damage.

A great afternoon with Jaxon setting a new personal best of seven balls over the net. No doubt with a little more practise in the backyard Jaxon will be smashing them around in no time.
