Tennis

This morning the Year 5 students had a sample of tennis skills. A team of coaches arrived and split the classes into five groups to teach them skills on a rotation. Groups practised serves, rallies, hand/eye coordination,  footwork skills and accuracy.  Students say that it was tiring but fun.

Here are some snapshots of the session...
