Doug Kegerreis: Hi! I am Doug Kegerreis, President of Chantilly International Tennis, and today, you are learning how to play tennis.
The next stroke in tennis we are going to learn is the Serve. In the last few years, Ive had a lot of success teaching beginners how to serve by going from the forehand volley position into the serve. There are many elements in the forehand volley that will take you right into a successful beginning serve.
Forehand volley position, we had the racket up and we had you sideways, well use the reference point, show your partner your left shoulder blade. Thats an excellent position to start the beginning serve. Essential lets you get sideways, and also, I am a big fan of tossing the ball only as high as you can reach. So, the beginning serve will have you on forehand volley position. You toss the ball right up to your racket at head level and you hit up on the serve.
Ive had people serving successfully within the first hour, theyve ever set foot on a tennis court just taking a forehand volley position and serving out of it. Again, for a beginning serve, forehand volley position, get sideways, show me your left shoulder blade, racquet up, tip up, toss the ball only up to your racquet and hit up on the serve to get the ball into the diagonal box.
Next, were going to go over a few more serving skills, throwing motion, which is the motion you make on the serve and wrist action and what grips to use.
