🎾🔥 LAST SESSION OF THE TERM 🔥🎾

That’s a wrap for now — we’re back mid-July after a well-earned 4-week break 💪😎

What a brilliant few months in Narraghmore since kicking off on 27th Feb — amazing players, great energy, and plenty of laughs on court 🙌🎾

Big thanks to everyone who showed up, supported, and made it all happen — you’ve made it classes I genuinely look forward to every week!

Also… surprise coffee vibes for Audrey’s big 5-0 🥳☕️🎉

Keep swinging, keep smiling, and don’t forget to practice your “holiday tennis” 😄🎾

Thank you all for your support, friendship, and enthusiasm throughout the term ❤️❤️❤️

That’s a wrap on another fantastic term!

Our final session focused on a serve breakdown and a volley recap.

The serve is the only shot in tennis completely under your control, so we revisited the key fundamentals:

🎾 Consistent ball toss
🎾 Strong trophy position
🎾 High contact point
🎾 Smooth follow-through

A huge well done to everyone for their hard work, progress, and commitment throughout the term. It’s been great to see the improvement on court week after week.

Enjoy the break, keep practicing, and we look forward to seeing you back on court soon! 👏🎾

🎾 Basic Forehand Footwork

Great forehands start with great footwork.

🌟 Ready Position
• Feet shoulder-width apart
• Knees bent
• Stay on your toes

🌟 Adjustment Steps
• Use small, quick steps to position yourself correctly
• Create balance before contact

🌟 Weight Transfer
• Transfer your weight from the back foot to the front foot
• Generate power while staying balanced

🎯 Good footwork improves anticipation, consistency, recovery, and helps conserve energy throughout the match.

🔥 Finished the session with medicine ball core training to build stability, power, and control on court. 💪🎾

👏 Fantastic work, girls! Great effort, focus, and energy today.

🎾💪🔥👏

🎾 Tennis is won with the feet

Here's why footwork matters 👇

🌟 Positioning — Get into the perfect hitting spot for cleaner shots.
🌟 Balance — Better balance = more power, control & consistency.
🌟 Recovery - Quick recovery steps prepare you for the next ball.
🌟 Court Coverage — Move efficiently and reach tough shots faster.
🌟 Timing - Great timing comes from your feet, not just your swing.

💡 "Get your feet right, and the stroke becomes easier."

It was hard work, but so worth it!!! 💪🔥
Well done guys 👏👏👏

One of my favourite times of the week.

Today marked the final VI tennis session at Naas LTC before we take a break until autumn 🍂😢

To all the VI players — Martin, Vinny, Paul, Judas and Majella — thank you for every laugh 😂, every rally 🎾, and every moment on court 💚 It’s been such a privilege to be part of it all 🙏

To our wonderful volunteers Peter and Mark — thank you for your time, patience, and kindness every week 💛👏

And a special shoutout to legendary Coach Pete — thank you for letting me be part of something so special since January 💚 for all your support, guidance, and encouragement 🙏🎾 and for somehow managing to keep us all going on court (even when we had our own creative interpretations of “where the ball went” 😄👀🔥)

It’s something I’ll truly miss over the summer ☀️💔 but I’m already looking forward to being back in the autumn 🍂🎾💚

👍❤️

What a fantastic day on court!

I was lucky enough to be invited to help coach VI tennis classes (junior and adult) at Shankill TC alongside the legendary coach Karl 🌟

Fresh off the success of the VI Nationals a couple of weeks ago, Shankill TC opened its doors to volunteers and parents to try some VI tennis with the players. We all wore simulation glasses for a fully immersive experience while playing doubles 🎾👓

Great energy, great people, and a brilliant way to experience the game from a new perspective.

Icing on the cake: refreshments afterwards in the club 🍰☕

Huge thanks to Liam, Gill, and everyone involved in organising today 👏👏👏

This week in our cardio classes it was all about the topspin forehand and a recap of last week’s back volley!

🌟 See the spin! 👀🎾

🌟 Swing & Follow-through:
⬆️ Low to High – Brush up the back of the ball for heavy topspin 💥
🌪️ Windshield Wiper – Racket wraps across the body after contact
🏁 Finish High – Over the opposite shoulder for full control & power

🌟 Stepbox training 📦🔥
Amazing tool for footwork, agility, drills & fitness conditioning 💪⚡

Another brilliant week of beginner & cardio classes — great energy, great effort, and fab weather ☀️🎾

Well done everyone 👏👏👏

🌟Catcherball on the court 🎾🤔🔥

Such a fun way to learn:
• Basic volley footwork 👣🎾
• Soft hands & clean contact ✋✨
• Preventing overswinging 🚫💥
• Precise hand-eye coordination 👀🎯

🌟 Learning why the correct grip is so important for volleys — the continental (hammer) grip 🔨🎾💪

🌟 Finished with “piggy in the middle” 🐷🔥 — a brilliant game for improving volleys, reactions, movement, and control 🎾⚡💚

Amazing energy from the ladies 👏🔥
See you all this Friday & Saturday 💪🎾😄🙌
