The latest clinic in the Quail Creek Tennis Club’s continuing Confidence Builder series was held on Sept. 16 under perfect playing conditions. Participants rotated through three stations, with each court targeting a different skill.
Dinah Shumway coached players on the importance of “Moving With the Ball.” Chris Olson implemented the ball machine in breaking down the components of “Forehand and Backhand Stroke Mechanics.” And retired tennis pro Donna Yuritic identified the fundamentals of “How to Hit an Effective Volley.” Assisting with court station set-ups were Doug Shumway and Chris Moravchik.
Clinics like this increase player confidence by identifying beneficial adjustments, as well as just being plain old fun!
