3
+ Pro Drills Offered at Kennworth Tennis Center
 Head
Tennis Professional William Fawcett is now offering
3 + Pro Drills in the morning at Kennworth Tennis Center.
These small group lessons are available Mondays, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00am-10:00am and 10:00am-11:00am.
The cost is $15 per player.
These
drills involve 3 players approximately the same level
splitting the cost of a private lesson and we work on
the needs of the three individuals as a group. For example;
one person wants to work on serves, the second volleys,
and the third overheads. We spend about 15 minutes working
on each stroke. The final 15-20 minutes is playing out
doubles points with the pro (William) as the fourth
player and we work on strategy, shot placement, and
doubles movement.
To
register text or call William at (770) 265-3599 or e-mail
premiertennis@comcast.net. |

Tennis
Tip! C Your Way to a More Powerful Forehand!
To
hit with more power with your forehand, take your racquet
back with your hand up around your shoulder, then make
the letter C with your racquet before hitting the ball.
This looping of the backswing will increase your power
instead of taking your racquet straight back around
waist high.

Head Tennis Pro, William Fawcett |
